If this call came from area code "202", would you say that "This is a fraud campaign currently active in Washington, DC"? No, you wouldn't. VOIP calls can come from anywhere in the world, Nigeria for example. It's been stated on this forum that caller ID is becoming obsolete. The caller ID of any phone, anywhere in the world, can be faked. What you mean is that you received a phone call from a foreign, or domestic criminal.
I'm realy tired of receiving phone calls from who knows and no messages left. Is there somebody out on the web that can help me get rid of those unwanted [***]? There's also a caller from Florida, be aware! (scam 1-772-398-5800)
Got a call from this number 289 275 0888, saying that I won a prize trip to Florida, when asked if I had a credit card, which I said that I didn't, the guy hung up on me. I never filled out anything on the internet for a trip to Florida, or anything to win any prizes. He got my name right, as well as my address, but made the mistake of saying that I filled out this form on the net 6 months ago, then said my address to me, which I just moved to the said address. I believe this is a scam to get credit card numbers. Beware.
This is a fraud campaign currently active in Canada using a series of Iristel VOIP numbers. The objective is to obtain your credit card number and drain your account.
If you attempt to "opt out" your number will be confirmed as live and added to a suckers list for repeated future calls.
