Since this appears to be a fairly new list, I assume it is for Scammers-in-Training. They probably still wet the bed at night. They eat Kowdunga for breakfast. (Kowdunga is a colloquial term for sacred, white cow shφ.) But I do for them what I do for real professional scammers. Never answer the phone even if it shows your area code, or more recently, your own phone number and/or your name! That is one of their latest spoofing tricks. (My answering machine does ask for a message to be left, but they never leave a live one.) Never call back because that could cost you money and/or tells them when you are home. Block the number. Get yourself a Panasonic phone system that blocks 250 numbers. A system with 3 handsets is about $100. Check Amazon.com for one. A nice feature is when the àѕѕηθļєs call back, there is no ring to irritate you.
Called my landline at 6:30pm on 4/11/14. Was a robo (female voice) call and left a recording on my machine. Claimed that I had won a free cruise on Carnival or Royal Caribbean and to press 1 to speak to a booking agent or press 2 to decline and be placed on their "do not call" list--yeah, sure... Does it even matter that I'm on both state and federal DNCs? Looks like I'll be adding Chicago area codes to my call blocker.
Received call from 312-800-9192, on 04/12/2014 at 2:01PM. Caller ID showed caller as "not available" so I let my machine answer it. Caller did not respond. I can only assume the caller was a scammer.
