I've been receiving calls from this number, as well as about 4 others that i don't recognize. I neever answer&never leave a message, im just waiting for them to stop now!
I also got a call from this number. They don't leave messages. They call about about 3-4 times everyday. Very persistent and annoying! If anyone have any idea to get rid of them... please post it here to help others. Thanks
These people leave messages, sometimes. The most recent message I got form this said that they are part of THe Drug enjorcement agency and he really would like to have a chat. Whatever that means. 'Anyway, just be a little extra viligent out three.
Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru.
But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:
Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.
It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!
Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!
Not all of these calls are just collections agencies. The call that I received can form the above refernced number. I didn/t answer because I did not know the number. So they left a voice mail that indicated that they are involved in some kind drug-enforcement agency, That i should call them as soon as possible. Needless to say, I wont be calling that phone number back.
