Cad2Grand, there is no phone company that assigned the number to these crooks. They are hiding their real number using something called "spoofing." It's against the law, but it's not really enforced. I report the number to the FTC & FCC every time but so far it's just a temporary fix. After a week of daily calls from this number, they'll stop for a bit, then start up again using a new faked number.
Don't give them any info, don't even try talking to them. They're not a real company, they're con artists. They will never give any info as to what they really are. Keep note of the number and ignore when they call again. Or pick up the phone and then hang up without saying a word. Once I realize it's the same old crooks trying their scam from a new faked number I don't bother trying to tell them again to leave us alone. Under previous faked numbers when I tried that, they would threaten me. So there's no point. I find that if I pick up the phone and hang it back up they don't call again that day. Maybe their computers autodial the numbers so it just moves onto the next number? I'm not sure. It's still an annoyance but I'm not sure what else I can do. I've talked to my phone company, filed reports with the police (after the threats), filed complaints but everyone shrugs and says that the scammers are outside the US, not much they can do.
I answered. He asked for me by name and asked how I was. I have pneumnia and said I was sick. He proceded to ask about my credit card debt. I asked which was that and he said he wasn't allowed to say (meaning he had no clue). When I accused him of trolling, said I had been on the Do Not Call Registry and was going to report him be became quite angry. He said he WOULD HARASS me and hoped that I would Die.
He hung up and immediately called back twice, which I ignored.
No reason to report him because either the caller ID has been tampered with or he has linked himself to some unsuspecting citizen's phone.
They have called 3 times today!! I have ask them not to call!! I haver yelled at them and cussed them out!!
None of them could hardly speak English!! I AM ON THE "DO NOT CALL LIST"!!<> to no avail!!
I TRIED TO CALL THEIR NUMBER BACK TWICE AND IT IS "NO LONGER IN SERVICE"
Just had a call from this number. They are obviously from India and could not pronounce my very generic american name. They tell you they know you have credit card debt but pay your bills ontime and ask if that's correct? That's when I told him to put me on his do not call list. He tried to get me to listen to his speal, and I told him I've been getting a ton of these calls lately and the only thing I want is for them to stop calling. He said he could do that but would you listen...that's when I told him I want on your do not call list now. He hung up.
I just got a call from this number. A guy with a heavy indian accent told me that I have $10 000 debt on credit cards. I asked him right away were he got this data from. He wanted to go ahead with his written text bit I was very demending to hear an answer, so he simply hang up on me.
