Caller ID showed OHIO CALL. Didn't leave message. I think this number is "spoofed" I've received several phone calls w/n message left Caller ID may or may not show CUSTOMER RELAT.. a bogus phone number or my phone number! No message but background noise suggests the caller is outside or internet static; recording lasts for 8-13 seconds b4 disconnect.
Write down EVERY scam number that calls you. Then, call your phone company and learn more about BLOCKING these scammer scumbags; it's worth the extra cost, trust me.
B) Call or email their state's elected Congresspeople--raise strong Hell to get FBI / Homeland Security to go after and arrest these crooks circumventing the National Do Not Call Registry.
C) Contact Major Network media ( NBC and CBS ) have them go after the politicians and these tele-scammers!!
A, B, C--problem would eventually get solved.....but not before some Washington D.C. Congresspeople would be profiled, nervously squirming on 60 Minutes or high level administrators within our Justice system would face career termination and replaced by COMPETENT people FOCUSED on catching and jailing these crooks--because enough of WE THE PEOPLE, put the right pressure on these politically corrupt people.
I suspect these tele-scammers are likely well funded: These bogus lines are NOT cheap to operate. My logical guess is organized crime ( Irish, Italian and/or Russian Mafia...maybe Japanese Yakuza )--who, by the way, has some impressively rich / powerful political lobbyists, buying people in the Department Of Justice ( DOJ ), FBI and in Congress.
How else, given today's tracker technology, are these slugs able to aggressively contact us?
We CAN aggressively call on the politically empowered to STOP them....or find re-election campaigns to be a complete waste of their money or time!!
Don't forget to notify your local FBI branch ( they're listed in your local phone directory ). Talk to an FBI agent in person; you might not have much luck going to www.fbi.gov
Also, find the contact number(s) of your state's Congress people--raise hell and ask they propose and pass legislation to SHUT DOWN these brazen tele-scammers.
Contacting major TV networks NBC and/or CBS might not hurt, either......
You are just one of hundreds / thousands of people DAILY, who fall VICTIM to these scumbags--by paying the LONG DISTANCE PLUS charges, to call them back; something they sought / hoped you'd do.
Portions of those LONG DISTANCE PLUS charge(s) goes to the scammer's "business"--a cozy arrangement between them and phone carrier service, much like that deal--where you text a code to donate $10 / $20 to some legit charity from your smartphone. So yes: Your area phone CORPORATION also rake$ in sweet scam profit$, too!!
So how are these tele-thieves allowed to operate, despite YOU being on Do Not Call Registry?? What does EVERY CORPORATION have that easily allows them to bend/break laws--or even pass laws that benefit THEM?? Answer: Washington D.C. LOBBYISTS--professional BRIBERS who buy Congresspeople!!
But Congresspeople need YOUR VOTE---a-hemmm......so why not flood their offices with calls from YOU, raising Hell--demanding immediate action be taken to SHUT DOWN these crooks?
Bill, TSA does AIRPORT SECURITY. But it's hopeful one of these SCAMMERS will get busted, trying to fly dope across country.....cross fingers and hope it happens soon.
