I got the same call. They started pushing I had won something, they were phishing for account info. HERE'S HOW I HANDLE THIS PEOPLE. At some point I say the following...."Look (Vijay, Rashid, etc.), at this law requires me to tell you who I am. I am a Deputy U.S. Attorney and my job requires me to investigate companies like yours for possible prosecution, so do you want to continue this phone call?"
EVERY TIME I get an immediate hang-up...and rarely do they call me back. Don't forget to say those words in a stern tone. You could also say you're a Deputy Attorney General in your state, or an Assistant District Attorney in your county....it should all work. Remember, sound authoritative in your voice!
they call multiple times a day and never leave a message - I have tried calling it back and I get a recording that its a pinger #? HOW DO I MAKE THIS STOP!?!?!?!
calls from Rutherford, NJ. They know my husband's name. Have answered after repeated calls from Rutherford, NY, but all different numbers, as they are calling ENDLESSLY! and we're sick of the disruptive calls. we have caller ID & didn't answer at first, but as I said, ENDLESS CALLS!!!! and it was getting ridicules. I answered once & told them off, but they called again tonight & I answered again & told them off again. Really hope it stops! oh, and they change the last four digits every time...
