this call came in from "unknown" at 2:18pm on a sunday. didnt answer it....looks like others have gotten this too....what a scam. too many losers trying to get your hard earned money...or make disgustingly bogus offers...
They called me also on dec. 5th. I didnt answer. I too googled the number, said payday lending scam. This seems to be the only calls I get on my landline phone anymore....unbelievable. Sick and tired of these scammers, I work my butt off for money, these people need to get an actual job and stop trying to steal money from hard working people.
The fact that you're on the Do Not Call list does NOT matter to scam callers. Legitimate companies subscribe & abide by the list, but scammers do not. Although the government can be blamed for many things, this isn't one of them. Many of these scam calls originate from overseas, and the numbers that display on your called ID are spoofed/faked through software, and aren't coming from anywhere near the location of the number displayed. Also, pressing ANY option to remove your name from their calling list only makes it worse. It basically tells their system that your number is valid, and they'll only keep calling, or you'll receive calls from completely different numbers. It's similar to when you open a Spam email with the images downloaded. There's a hidden pixel that tells their email system that your email address is valid. Many cell and landline phones have some type of call blocking feature where your phone won't ring, and if they don’t, just ignore the calls, as annoying as they are. You can try sending a detailed complaint to the FTC and FCC as well.
Just called 8:50 pm. Harass me day and night. NEVER leaves message. My answering machine goes into a shrill beeping message. So stinking annoying. Wish there was something I could do.
