I receive 3 - 5 of these calls a day! Usually, each call is from a different number than any other call. I never answer them and they rarely leave a message. They let my phone ring 4 times, max and then hang up. Sometimes their recording begins as soon as it "hears" the voice of my answering machine and I only actually get "if you agree, press 1. If you'd like more information, press 2." They never suggest I press anything to receive any information in Spanish. In my part of the country, that is unusual.
Unknown caller doesn't have a number to list for "others to know." That is why it is unknown caller. (duh). They were more or less just trying to advise others they sympathize and get the same nonsense. These are impossible to stop.
But the person who started the thread explicitly said, "... Usually, each call is from a different number than any other call." That is not an "unknown caller." She *knows* the numbers that call her. But she didn't say what they were, so she cannot see whether anyone else knows who the caller may be -- which she might otherwise have been able to see in the number threads. And what she said here is of absolutely no use to anyone either to block the offending numbers or to help her find out who was calling.
She might as well have gone somewhere where she wouldn't be noticed and let out a primal scream.
There's two things to look at on caller id.. 1: Name,private or unknown 2: Number that is calling.. Which can show a number, show unknown number, or private number
The poster said unknown caller.. she said from several numbers!
