Received several calls from this MCS service - when I click on "one" to speak with live operator they say are you interested in lowering your interest rate - I say - Hi, I'd like to be removed from this list - CLICK - disconnected. This was a female, with a northern US accent.
I'm thinking about pressing ONE next time and when they answer, answering their rude selves with an air horn. just sayin...
If you got a call from this number or frequently get these types of calls I would suggest asking yourself if there is anyone who has a grudge against you. I've been cyber stalked, hacked and harassed by a Georgia based con artist and serial cyber stalker named Mike Smeth for nearly 2 years now.
Prior to him defrauding me out of thousands of dollars I had never recieved a call like this. Since then I've received well over 100. I strongly believe he may have submitted my number to scammers or may be running the scams himself. It wouldn't surprise me - the fraudster is a former meth addict who appears on mugshotsonline and makes a living by defrauding people out of money and then terrorizing his victim's lives through a computer.
He additionally lives on my home network and launches attacks at anything with an electronic pulse (DoS, MITM, etc). He's also hacked, cyber stalked and harassed family members, friends and business partners. We unaffectionatly refer to him as the "Jeffrey Dahmer" of hackers. Getting away with crime isn't enough for him, he has a sick desire to terrorize his victim's lives. Just a thought that I thought was worth mentioning. You can never be to safe when it comes to technology in the year 2013. Criminals have ditched the real world for cyber space. Good luck and I hope your situation isn't as bad as mine :) If it is as bad don't be afraid to stand up for yourself, you have the right to be left alone.
P.S. - One of Smeth's fictional online personas may leave a comment after this comment to harass me into hiding but I've absolutely had it with this sociopathic cyber stalking con artist. I even had to stop using Facebook and Twitter as a result of being harassed by his army of fictional people. Also, he may ask to have this comment removed as a result of having malicious access to my browsing history. Whatever you do DO NOT take this comment down. People deserve to be warned about Michael Alexander Smeth and need to know that calls like these can be the result of someone maliciously submitting your name to these fraudsters. #Truth #VictimsHaveRights #ConArtistWarning-MikeSmeth #CyberStalkerWarning-Mike Smeth
Called, did not leave a message.
As futile as it seems, we should always file a complaint with the Do Not Call registry if possible, as with any nuisance behavior.
As the number of complaints grows, the problem will get more attention and eventually inspire a solution. But if nobody complains about it, they won't bother to fix it.
