Agreed....the criminals could be anywhere in the world so don't blame the fine folks of WA state.
I have been getting these front-page-on-google scams from numbers all over the country(Canada and US). Every time I block one number, they switch to another from a different location. The frickin sorry part of it all is that I have a residential number and these calls are targetting businesses. I think they keep calling businesses back on the chance that they will get an employee on the line who will authorize the theft from the business (and YES it is theft - they are after money or cc ID in exchange for nothing).
OOOh for an uzi and a few addresses!!!
Meantime....BLOCK
This Number calls and hangs up all the time but when I call it back it says this number has been disconnected. Being a buisness I have to answer the phone but I'm really tired of having to stop my work to answer a hang up. Isn't there any way to stop this.....
Got a call from this number and checked to find out it was another auto dialed about a front page placement on Google. Just recently I decided to buy an air horn from Walmart and when these idiots call and I get a real person on the phone, I blast the horn in their earpiece at the call center. Buy and Airhorn and blast them. I guarantee that the caller from AT&T who called me last week will not call again. Fight the good fight against these callers. I'm even on the "Do Not Call List" and a lot of help that does. Rise up and take back the phone for good customers that want to do business, NOT SPAMMERS!!
The calls says incoming and then displays the phone number (360) 332-6265. I answer the call with our company name and there is dead silence, then a click.
I hate it when you know someone is calling to just hear your voice and then hang up. You can always tell there is someone there or if it is a random call from a computer.
I hope these people get a life and stop bothering those of us who are working.
