It's the end of July and well folks, this appears to still be going on. All the embedded online hooks are still floating out there... tempting people looking for work into giving up their credit card numbers. What in the hell is going on in North America that, with the patriot act et all... our governments (Canadian and U.S.) cannot put a stop to this crap? I mean, after doing extensive research, this google scamming is spreading like wildfire. What it people were using the spoofing technology to make threatening calls? Would our governments then take notice? Cause at this point... I can't believe this is still going on. Something must be done!
Two calls so far today 8 and 10 am ....when I answered it was dead air... I have a son out of town with his school so I tried calling the number back.....some recording in an awful voice saying customer service to reach a rep ....and i hung up.... no company name on the recording... reverse lookup the number... comes back to Northvale Florist Concierge Northvale, NJ 07647.
Everybody please read!!! If you are a Canadian citizen, there is absolutely nothing DNC or Phonebusters.com can do for us. I have been getting the same call for the past 3 days and YES, it is a scam company using GoogleATM and Ebay as incentives. I contacted Phonebusters and filed a formal complaint and opened a case file against this "supposed" number which in fact lists as a company in NJ under the name of "Northvale Florists Concierge". Phonebusters.com explained to me that this SCAM company has a program which is able to manipulate phone numbers in the phone directory to show up on your phone as any number they want. They can even use your own number and make it look like you are calling yourself. Understand that this SCAM company is US based and they do not abide by Canadian Laws, whether you are on the DNC list or not. If you answer your phone, they will continue to call your number. Even if you press "2" to be removed, it does not work. The only thing you can do is NOT answer the phone no matter how many times they call. If you want to go the distance, you can contact your home phone provider and have them activate a "Phone Block" feature which will cost you around $4.00 per month. This feature may not work because like I said previously, this SCAM company is spoofing numbers in the directory and it may or may not block them from calling. The only thing you can do at this time is wait it out and hope that this company gets shut down quick enough. Hope this helps many frustrated and aggravated American and Canadian citizens like myself.
