Comment: Use your Caller ID and never answer the phone if you do not recognize the caller's name as a company you do business with or a friend or family member.
Left call choice as "Unknown" because SCAMMER was not listed as a choice.
ID was "consumer services", but they were actually running the life alert scam. Had a call a few minutes earlier from the credit card scammer.... and these are actually the same group of people (they run all sorts of scams). For us, the calls always come through in batches, a whole plethora of scams to chose from all in the span of a few minutes.
I received a call yesterday from this number. I apparently did not hear it ring as I never answered it. Looking at the caller id it shows that it was an incoming call from EGYPT. Obviously area code 201 is on the east coast of the US, but with everything else I am reading.... this is a BS scam of some sort. I hate this crap and no one does anything about it. I have all of my numbers including my WORK number on the "DO NOT CALL" list and nothing seems to matter. Be careful everyone!
Yep it's a scam alright. They called me today and does show up as an Egyptian number but when I tried to call back the number in Egypt it was a disconnected number. Also when you call the number using 201 US area code it is same thing. Disco number. I will add them to my block list on my phone. Don't get scammed!
Consumer SVCS. They call with all kinds of spoofed numbers. Was getting a local call regularly that I didn't know so didn't answer it. After weeks of this I finally answered thinking wrong number. Nope, the ever popular credit card scammers spoofing a local number. I told them to remove my number from their list. She promptly hung up and called me back 10 minutes later spoofing my number. So now I get several calls every week from myself. And only the good Lord knows who else they've tried to scam using my number! B@$tards!
A new number. How many times in a week does Consumer Svcs change numbers? They've done it to me twice this past week. This number, like the others, is now blocked. All these scammers scare me.
