How to Block Persistent AO.com Harassment Calls!
Summary — +441616966054
Expert Opinion
Block the number if you’re tired of unexpected calls. AO.com often follows up purchase confirmations with scripted insurance offers that provide little value and can quickly become a nuisance. Under data protection rules, you have the right to request that the company stop contacting you for marketing purposes and to ask that your personal data not be shared with third‑party warranty providers. Keep a log of call timestamps, report persistent silent calls to your carrier, and consider adding the number to your phone’s do‑not‑call list. Regularly review your online checkout settings to opt‑out of post‑order sales calls.
