Why am I getting calls from disconnected numbers and how do I stop this?

[odomgirl69]

For about a week now have been getting calls from unfamiliar numbers. When I attempt to call them back I get a Verizon recording saying the number is disconnected. How do I stop this from continuing?

I get these also from time to time not sure what caused it or why

Getting these types of calls would certainly be a nuisance. Call Filter (free) is recommended to help. Here's more about setting that up.

Most likely spam calls and the spammer designed it to work that way when calling back.  I wish someone would put a stop to this junk and not let it be allowed. ⁰p

most likely spam calls but Verizon does nothing about them

seems they think they will stop on there own
