Caller ID says 0

Hi Heather-- you could always answer and try to find out who it is, so you know for your own peice of mind. Then don't answer anymore after that if you don't want to. IF they are rude, then hang up. Often time when the caller ID shows #0, it is a auto dialer system. A collector will put a number into its auto dialer and it will continue to dial until someone at your house picks up. I often get the number 000-000-0000. autodialer.

I will also suggest you to pick up the phone for once and know the actual cause. Because, if the caller feels that you are trying to ignore it, they might take certain actions for which you won't get time to prepare yourself. From the call, you can make out if they have contacted the right person or it is just by mistake.

HI David!! Its good to see you!
Also Heather, You will know who to send a validation request to (if need be) and a do not call letter if you wish not to have any more calls from these people.
At this point, unless you answer the phone, you won't know since the ID is showing 0 and they're not leaving a message.

Thanks Shirley & David!

I know I should stop being a chicken and just answer it. I will next time! I hate feeling this way, but I'm glad I have all of you for support! Thanks again!

Great Heather!! you're welcome-I'm glad you're here!! how about posting to let us know when you find out who it is. Hey maybe its just a telemarketer! that would be a sigh of relief! keep us posted. we're here for you! shirley

That's the spirit, Heather. Just pick up the call. There is no harm in doing that and do not feel scared. Nothing can go wrong. Instead, you will get a chance to do some repair to your credit if it is a legitimate call about some past debt. Bravo!!

Hi Shirley, how are you? It's so nice to be back again. Just within a span of few days, I see so many new additions to our forum members. :)

Yes, its great isn't it!!??
(we've missed you---so glad to see you back again!) shirley

:) I was hospitalized all these days. Doctors have suggested me complete bed rest for some more days. I may not be regular here for some days.

Oh my goodness David, are you ok? Can we do anything for you? :( :( :(

Yes Mary, I am ok now. My bike skidded in the curve on the wet road and unfortunately I got my left leg fractured and soft tissue injuries in the abdomen. I have been discharged from the hospital but will be on complete bed rest for a while. Just felt like logging in the forums for some time and talk to all you. Include me in your prayers, Mary. I need a quick recovery from all this. :cry:

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you had this accident. Consider yourself on the top of the prayer list! We are here for you! Stay hydrated and fed, that is the most important for quicker healing. And don't forget to log on and have some laughs with us as well :)

~Mary

Oh David!! Ouch!! I'm so sorry! I wish we had of known. I hope you are alright. Please take care and do as the doctor says and take it easy! I wished we lived close by so we could bring you some soup over and check in on you. I would do it! Do you have a girlfriend, parents or friends that can check in on you? I sure hope so! I'm thankful that it wasn't any worse than what it was. I will be praying for you my friend. Big hugs, shirley

Thanks Shirley for this concern. It was sweet enough. :)

Ouch David! I broke my left leg last year. It was miserable!

Stay comfortable, and enjoy those pain meds. ;-) Kidding! :)

Feel better soon.

Guess, I used to do x ray of other patients and know the fractured parts of their body and now I am undergoing the same situation. :)

Anyways jessi, thanks for the care.

I'm sorry about your injuries, David. I'll place you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself.

Thanks Bossy, this is the reason I felt like logging in the forums today in spite of being in pain. So many people are there with me with their caring words. I really appreciate it. :)

I'm always watching those Discovery Health, Life in the ER, and the surgury shows..And then I got to go through it..lol But the bonus is I knew what was going on when they were fixing me. :)

The pain is no fun. The worst for me is after my surgury my foot was so swollen that keeping it elevated would make it hurt worse--The blood was being cut off, so I was up and down all night putting my foot up, then down, then back up...lol Miserable. But it feels pretty good now, a year later. (Unless it's cold, or it rains..lol)

Get better soon! Luv ya.

I get this on my caller id about 10 times a day.I have picked it up and no one says anything.Has anyone heard of a way to stop this??
