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!
This number began showing up on my phone last week. The phone rings twice and then disconnects. I do not know ANYONE in New Jersey. I am going to report the number to my cell phone company and see if I can have it blocked. I'm afraid to answer the call because I do not want to encourage them to call any more than they already have. It's driving me CRAZY!
I received 12 calls from this number on Saturday and 4 more this morning (it's 10:00am right now). I got very snotty with this foreign man because I could not understand what he was saying, hence the strong accent, and after the fourth "what?" from me came this very understandable voice from him saying, MAYBE YOU ARE NOT LISTENING!. I was livid! I told him he better not call again and hung up! Fifteen minutes later, a foreign lady called and I told her that if they do not stop, they will be sorry, and I hung up. I haven't heard from them for about a half hour now.
Over 60 calls and hangups this weekend from this number (May 2009). I run a business and can't afford to get off a ladder and run to the phone to hear this crap. What can I do? [email protected]
