Since I was starting Medicare coverage in Sept., I have been getting at least 5 or 6 nuisance calls per day all with my local 772 exchange #. At first I didn't answer the calls as the caller ID showed a # but no caller name. Doing reverse lookups, I could see that all these numbers belonged to people in town, but no one I knew and no messages were left. I finally answered one of these calls and there was a recording telling me it was Tom calling, and said he was calling since I had expressed interest in a Medicare supplemental plan. Yes or no? When I responded No, the call ended. These calls started in July and are still going. Like DRH I have a device on my landline to consign these numbers to a REJECT list. The phone still rings once but then disconnects. I must have at least 100 rejected numbers all from the 772 exchange. I add at least 2 or 3 new ones daily.
