Robo call offering free "Disney Vacation and Cruise" from (321) 967-5779
Here is the text of the robocall:
"Let the memories begin. You have been selected for a magical Walt Disney World area tax time special and the first 200 callers will get a special bonus vacation. Your claim number is 158. Press 1 now to connect to one of our agents. Press 2 to be removed from this list."
Thanks to Google Voice, you can listen to this recorded phone call on my "Robo and Spam Calls" web page:
Canceling millions of phone service accounts won't solve the problem either. Who can live without some sort of telephone service? So even if everybody turns strictly to cell phone use, at some point you will have to list your cell number as a contact # somewhere for one reason or another. Once you do that, it is out of your control as to what happens with that information, meaning it can be sold or distributed as they see fit.
Plus, you can't dismiss the fact that these rogue scammers will use any tactic or means necessary to inflict their torture on us, which means using robo-dialers to methodically call every number known to man if they want to. They are relentless criminals who do not care about laws or rules or consequences. If people weren't answering their phones and even if a minuscule amount of these people weren't giving them their credit card numbers, then there would be no reason for the crooks to continue this tactic in this manner; they would move on to another crime.
In the last 6 months I have blocked 52 numbers that were questionable. I do not answer their calls nor do I ever call them back, yet these calls continue. The bottom line is that what these thieves are doing is obviously very lucrative for them. It only takes one gullible person every so often to fall for their lies in order for this to be worth their while.
