[QUOTE="p_rod, post: 1928904, member: 174646"] I was not sure as to which topic to post this under, so I thought I'd try it here. :) Over the past couple of months, I've been receiving texts as early as 0400 in the morning saying "your Amazon account/your Netflix account (I do not have one), your "blank" account has been suspended, blah, blah, blah. Plus, dozens and dozens of "I am interested in purchasing your house...." calls and texts, many late at night. Obviously, I never, ever answer ANY of these...but I am not sure that if I block them then delete the call or text, that they will find out I blocked them which tells them they have hit a valid phone number and then they 'sell' my valid number to some other whack job out there to continue their calls/texts. I came here because the searches I've done so far didn't really make me feel too comfortable with blocking them. Any suggestions or help here will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! :) [/QUOTE]
