Call from "Unknown Name;" "Private Number."

It's almost three times I receive call from private number around early hour's when i answered the person don't say anything.I left the call answered but still no voice from the call.

In general..it is best to avoid picking up from someone you do not know..the worst are credit agencies who will try to call you from all kinds of telephone nos. As a rule, if you do not know it, don't pick up, if it's really important, they Wii leave a message anyways.

Now that I've blocked out all spam callers? I'm constantly getting calls that say:
"Private Number"
There's no way I can block a Private Caller with no number associated with it!

If it shows "unknown caller" do not trust it.Do not talk to them.That's all there is to it.

Any time I receive a call from "private number", "unknown", etc. I do NOT answer it.  I guarantee that it is a waste of my time and not a phone call that I want.  It is usually someone up to no good.

A

'A' is for "annoyance", and "asinine".

My outgoing message is sixty seconds long, e.g. "We are not available at the moment. If you are trying to sell any product or service, or requesting charitable donations or our opinion in a goofy survey, please start speaking now and hang up before the tone; everyone else can start speaking after the tone and hang up when they have finished." An alternative: "Due to the prevalence of spammers using spoofed call display information, calls from ‘unknown’ or ‘private’ callers are not answered nor voice-mail messages from people whom we have not previously spoken with directly in the past thirty (30) days. Telemarketers, survey companies, political zealots, etc., are blocked with any and all messages left by these spambots being immediately deleted without being retrieved."

Filing a complaint for every single call will take forever.  It's not exactly a streamlined process!

No problem.  Do nothing and nothing will ever happen.  That way you can enjoy the calls.

Since the first couple of complaint entries at the FTC DNC reporting site, it only takes me about 30 seconds per complaint now.

Please read my post again.

Sure.  Your complaint was, and I quote:

 So, you were making the point that it would take too much effort for you to report every number, correct?  If not you should have made your point clear and concise.  If that is not what you meant, then it is not my fault.  You also said, and I quote:

which fortified your original sentence that complaining was too much trouble.  Now that post that you replied to was made in 2011.  It failed to also mention that you could sue those people.  However that would require you to actually do something that would be a little more trouble than making a complaint.  However it would accomplish a lot, especially if all the whiners and complainers jumped in and actually did something other then whine and complain.

You'll have to show me where I'd recommended "filing a complaint for every single call" since I can't determine how that could be inferred from my vintage remarks. For the record, I've never done that for commercial fundraisers. What I've done is to follow my own advice and confront the call centers directly. Each time I do, one more source of aggravation stops calling me forever without "taking forever". The charity beggars all want to appear benign and stay off the radar of state attorneys general while keeping their barely legal rackets intact.
