I have had calls from 8705 3279 of which I blocked the number, and now from 8705 3280... coincidence? I think not! I figure if someone really wants to talk to me they will leave a message... Therefore I say don't answer this number and block it on your phone...

C

Its Spam, I get at least 5-6 calls from this number a day... Its now on my phone reject list.

Your Lifestyle Group called me on this number as well. Actually they keep calling me and I ignore it now. They were offering $450 and for someone to come to my house as they "were in the area". Suspect as it is a business mobile and I don't live anywhere near my work. Spam.

I have had the same issue as the above, not sure if it is spam. She said she was calling from Your Lifestyle Group and would send me a hamper with $450 worth of stuff and all that was required was an answer to two easy questions? Spam?
