this 206 exchange is located in seatle there is a company that spoofs caller id in area code 206 it is a scam they are trying to get your cc #'s dont answer them
young sounding guy called and asked for my husband by first name only. i told him he wasn't there and got hung up on? i didn't like the feeling i got which is why i googled the number and found this. i get telemarketer calls everyday but NOTHING like that.
I got my first call from them today. Caller ID said "BW". On my voice mail, someone yelled my name, then hung up. Lots of loud noise in the background.
OK, folks, if we cannot get rid of these callers, why not have some fun?
A few suggestions:
1. Pretend not to understand English, Just use ANY language you know. Come on, everybody knows a little bit of Spanish or German.
2. Tell them that a person they asking for will be available in a few minutes so you'll have to put them on hold. Meanwhile put your favorite CD into your comp or a CD player,
turn it on full blast and put a receiver in a close proximity.
3. When answering, start with something like ...it's a (fake cityname) police department. My name is ... How can I help you?
4. Tell them they've reached Australia or New Zealand.
I had a couple of calls. They do not call here anymore. I have a POLICE WHISTLE and I cupped the reciever in my hands, took a very deep breath and BLEW the whistle as loud and as lomg as I could. I think she miught be a little deaf after the second time. Like I said they do not call here anymore. I still have the whistle.
