I think this is more than just a scam and more than just a problem with Sprint. It's happening to our landline, my Mom's work landline, two of my sister's cell phones (both with Verizon), one of my friend's cell phones (also Verizon), and one of my sister's boyfriend's cell phones (Verizon as well).
Waldson Group, Cheap Talk, Codetech, sometimes "unknown", "number blocked", or "private".
Sometimes when the phone number calls, it ends up being my sister on the line having called from her cell phone. She says she'll try to call the house multiple times before actually getting a hold of me. On our end, the phone rings once and stops before we can get to it. When she finally gets through, it doesn't connect to her right away. I have to repeat hello several times before actually hearing her.
The other day I got one of these phone calls and the woman asked for the "lady of the house". I live with my Mom, who was at work, so I said she wasn't available and the woman hung up.
My sister has reported hearing strange garbling sounds and going through her sent text messages to find that someone had sent a text to our landline. Her boyfriend's phone has been making calls of it's own, but is unable to receive calls.
In all the years I've been alive, I've came across scammers, but this seems much different...much more elaborate. Our conversations are being tapped, rerouted, and recorded & I've found dozens of these complaint websites with similar problems under these same numbers and yet no one has been able to figure out the source of it.
How do they get our telephone numbers? I have an unlisted number and I am getting these calls. I answered the phone and nothing but a dial tone. I hit *69 and got the number.
i think we need to have someone pay for this mess of unwanted calls....and it should be the person
calling.....please check this # out and get them out of calling all these people.....
