Caller ID was the best thing that was ever invented, in my opinion. I know it might sound cold and callous of me, but I like being able to see the number that is calling me and choosing to ignore it, even if it's someone I know.

I have a feeling most people don't answer calls from numbers they don't know or have saved in their cell phone, but just in case, there are a few numbers that you should block immediately.

These Callers Are Looking To Scam You

Scammers have a busy season just like a retail store, and just like said retail store, scammers ramp up their "business" during the holidays.

During the holidays, scammers rely on the fact that you are already a bit stressed, and they hope that because of your stressed mental state, you don't pause for a moment and really examine the phone call or message you got and realize it's a scam. Thankfully, others out there were able to spot these scammers and their phone numbers and have reported them, and because of that, we can help you from being scammed.

How To Protect Yourself From These Scammers

There are a few ways to protect yourself from these scams, according to Been Verified.

1. Don't Answer: If you're suspicious, don't answer. Then use a Reverse Phone tool to look up said number.

3. Never Give Out Information: Until you are 100% positive the person you are talking to is legit, NEVER give out personal information.
