numerous calls from this outfit... In one day four attempts to get through to me using Florida or Illinois numbers and pressing 9 as the recording says to get off caller list,, is a scam. It does not work.
I received a call from this number. When I answered the phone, I paused for a few seconds before saying "hello". There was dead air on the other end, so I hung up and looked up the phone number. I assume it's the same scam as you posted.
Got a call from this # - came up as from "Illinois" - really? I live in Alberta. I NEVER answer calls from unknown name/number or from any #'s that are not family or friends from U.S. or other provinces. I have a list of these scam/bogus #'s a mile long and I reverse check every single one of them. I still don't understand why the appropriate government authorities can't put a stop to these morons once and for all..
Another addition to my impressive list of blocked numbers and area codes. I'm pretty much ready to block anything that isn't from Alberta at this point.
phonetray.com - have a modem in your computer? The best little piece of software I know of with no limitations on the amount of crap you can filter on your land line. Been using it a couple years now along with a splitter so my answering machine works too. My place is so much quieter now. Worth checking out, and maybe worth buying a modem if you don't have one!
