    Who is Making Hangup Calls to My House
    My question involves business law in the state of: CA

    I've been getting a lot of calls on my home phone where the caller just hangs up after I answer the phone or the caller doesn't say anything after I answer the phone? these calls happen only Mon - Fri from 10am to 7pm. Could it be a telemarketer making these calls?

    Re: Are These Calls from a Telemarketer
    Could be a telemarketer or some other robocalled (charity, political). Could be someone who just frequently misdials the number and doesn't have the decency to say excuse me when he makes a mistake.

    Yes it very well could be...many telemarketers use autodial systems where the calls get frequently dropped...or you hang up before their system gets your call to an actual rep. We get dozens of those a day at work. We have 10 incoming lines and sometimes all 10 lines will light up at once due to autodialers, and there won't be anyone on the other end of any of them. Its incredibly annoying.

    Puget Sound Blood Center calls us at LEAST twice a week.

    I don't suppose the OP has done the easy thing and actually called the number?

    I think it is the police checking to see if you are at home. You have been under surveillance for a considerable time and this is simply one of the methods they employ to verify their belief you are actually in the home.

    They are, though! They're like the local mosquito population - one bite, and they decide I'm a veritable British buffet of bloody goodness.

    That sounded creepy, didn't it?

    Yeah.

    :D

    I haven't answered a call from my home phone in months because I got annoyed by it. Most of the time when I get a call the phone will ring exactly 4 or 5 times and the call is ended. Is this a robot making the calls?

    You could always change your number.

    I know, sensible option right?

    And did you actually bother to do the easiest thing in the world and either "reverse lookup" or call the number?
