Getting a lot of calls from inactive numbers

I  no longer answer the phone. But I do return all calls although many of them say, Your call cannot be completed as dialed check the number etc. Note. These are calls from my phone's Call Log. The numbers are correct as I use my phone to tap the number that called me. This has been going on for years now and wasting my time. Why does verizon permit non working numbers from calling me? And how can a non working number in the first place even call me?

These calls are coming from spoofed numbers (a crook has used a fake number as a coverup for where they're really calling from).

We know how inconvenient it can be to receive these type of calls. Thankfully, we do have the free service for Call Filter, you can find more details here: http://spr.ly/6609YusYl
