11 Phone Numbers You Should Never Ever Answer in Missouri

In this world, you can never be too careful and that definitely includes incoming phone calls. If you live in Missouri, you need to be aware of 11 specific phone numbers that law enforcement have verified are out to get you and you should never ever answer.

In my other life when I'm not being sarcastic on the radio, I am a certified computer tech. I started building computers 3 decades ago and decided to take the official tests to prove I (more or less) knew what I was doing. My point is I am a nerd and know a thing or two about device security.

I was also born and raised in Missouri, too, and tend to be very protective of my birth state which is why I want my brothers and sisters in the Show Me State to avoid calls from these 11 phone numbers as confirmed by Life Lock.
