All day long I am getting scam phone calls on my cell phone. This one rang once and then hung up. No voice mail left. Make sure you use the default setting on your phone system and don't record your voice, so whoever is calling cannot be sure who they called. Caller ID on cell phone shows as No Name
I love these calls. I always pick up and call them the N word. It's like spraying water on a hornets nest!!! I love the back and forth banter until they hang up on me!! Trust me you can say anything you want!! I MEAN ANYTHING you ever wanted to say to ANYONE!! Who are they going to call? the police???
Same scam/spam as I've been getting lately from a variety of (spoofed, whack-a-mole) numbers. All robo-calls to my Do-Not-Call-listed phone.
Clearly a scam and unconcerned with the law. Will report to DNC, even though that's a joke, but maybe if enough people report this number.... well, then, they'l just change to another spoofed number and continue robo-calling away.
Do-not-call means anything at all, and with the clock just tick-ticking away as the telephone companies ignore the outpouring of consumers (and agencies of the US too!) demanding that phone companies do the easy - and RIGHT - thing and give customers (of the non-criminal spamming variety) the right to block robo-calls and spoofed CID's. And enforce the law.
With these never-ending scam factories, you can block it - as I just did with this - but like a Whack-a-mole it will just come back masquerading as another number. The ONLY way to stop this nonstop glut of robocalls and spoofed scam&spam mills is to have the phone companies lift a finger (different than the one they now show consumers) and deploy the tools already there (along with Federal permission and encouragement to use them) and stop these criminals from invading our phones.
U.S. Senator Schumer is pushing legislation REQUIRING Telcos to block robo-calls and spoofs for both mobile and landline phones, a great idea which the public wants clearly, which FTC and FCC have approved, which brought competition for software which now exists for Telcos, and is being held back only because the Telco's don't feel like deploying consumer protections. Please report to local authorities and to be most effective, write your Senator and sign the Consumers Union petition demanding that Telephone Companies give us the #1 thing we so need and want - protection from robo-calls and spoofed Caller ID's. It's easy to fix, if OUR chosen phone providers just do it, for all of us. I'd bet that the provider who does so voluntarily will get tons of new business, but as of now, none do. We need as collective mega-users of the phone companies, to DEMAND that they lift a pinky to responsibly serve consumers in America. We need Congress to act on this (along with so much else!). All we can do is raise our voices until telco's act responsibly or are ordered to do so, in the face of their continued stalling.
Last month AT&T (alone) announced it will respond to the massive outcry (as reported by CU) and put together a task force to have a solution by October. We'll see... we all know how task forces work, and besides, they already know what to do ("the right thing") and have the tools.
The Consumers Union petition is easy to sign onto and - aside from Sen. Schumer in the oh-so-effective Senate - offer's the only loud voice the Telco's might hear through their static - worth signing until there actually is a fix to this plague:

Speak out! Do-Not-Call is a joke and criminal fraudsters using robo-call and fake identities are only increasing. There's an easy fix waiting.
