Positive verification. Why I don’t answer “unknown” numbers

6 June, 2018 By Peter Harvey Leave a Comment

I currently have a policy that I will NOT answer unknown numbers. That is to say phone calls from numbers that I have never received a call from before as well as those calls from blocked phone numbers. The reason is that I have no way of verifying who is calling me nor that they are from the company they say they are from.
