They're still at it. Same thing, never rang, called twice in a row (within moments). No message. I *never* call numbers back... that's a recently added trick to the scammer's bag – the return call will show up as a charge on your phone bill (like a 900 number).
For people cursing the DNCL... the DNCL can only protect you from legitimate marketers (and I'm sure it does a lot of that). Illegal scammers use auto-dialers that simply call every possible number... 717-397-0000, 717-391-0001, -0002, -0003, and so forth. There is no defense against this other than blocking every number you don't recognize that calls you.
What would be useful would be a database of numbers I could pre-emptively block... maybe there's an income opportunity there? :)
If you're willing to pay, they make apps for that. Callguard, callblock, etc. The problem you may potentially encounter is false positives. While on trial with one of those apps, gf got a new number and it started blocking her calls from the new number. =P
