I don't know who these people are, but they called my house yesterday, and called my parents today, wanting information about me. It's very scary to have these types of calls. I advised my mother to tell them nothing except to go to hell.
Got a phone call just minutes ago. They have called several times during the past weeks. I don't anwer any call whose number I don't recognize or out of state. This day I did and the caller asked, How can I help you today. I told her you called me and hung up This is just a ploy to open up a conversation.
I don't answer my phone at all any more... It's SO MUCH NICER with the ringer turned off !!!!
If family and friends call, they know if they don't start leaving a message after the 4th ring, I won't pick up.
I see where Bestart and whatever keep calling, but my call blocker software is set to intercept selected numbers like theirs and play a vulgar message. Then hangs up on them - Ahhhhh. The numbers that are merely annoying, like carpet cleaners and car dealers, get a message that I found on the web. It sounds like the old SW Bell pay phones: "To make a call, you must deposit 25 cents...".
There's a few more old phone message WAV files that I got off the web to use on my call blocker. I like to kinda switch them around occasionally... "The area code you dialed does not exist", "You have exceeded the maximum dial time. Please try dialing faster", "Your phone service has been restricted. Please contact the business office for payment instructions", and of course the good old "Your call cannot be completed as dialed", etc etc.
Sometimes I see where the message confused them, and they tried to dial five or six times before giving up - LOL.
I don't have any outstanding debt or old debt yet they still call here asking my husband about me probably hoping to start a fight. When he didn't take the bait they called our 22 yr old son (last names are the same) who lives in the next town over and starting harrasing him about his mom's debt that I don't even have.
Crazy liars trying to start trouble. Very sick people. I plan to report these scam prank callers from north NJ even though I suspect they just get another # to call from. Awful people. Hundreds of compliants.
