"We'd like to speak with you about your car's warranty." It's such a common robocall, it's become a punchline. Ever wonder why these calls keep coming in despite being on the national do-not-call registry? There’s a simple answer. Scammers don’t obey the law.
The best response to a robocall is none. The recording will often prompt an individual to press a number in order to speak to a representative or to opt out.
Never press a number. Any response tells the scammer that they have reached a working number, which will result in even more calls. The mere act of answering their call is risky for the same reason: a verified working number will continue to attract robocallers.
The solution is simple... if you don’t recognize the number, it’s wise to not answer it.
