They been calling me so far 3 times today, I don't know who are they. Today, I responded and it was answer machine. I am not sure how to shop the phone calls. phone number that they called. 404-400-1179 from GA USA
So this is my theory on how they got my number, at least. It all started when I applied for a job about eight weeks ago. I usually avoid jobs by recruiters or sketchy websites. But I found this job ad through simply hired. The website was one of those cheap rip off job sites, I believe it to be "snag a job". Anyways I submitted my resume and contact info for the job, the job was legit it went to the companies website. After that day, I started getting phone calls. At first I got calls from random area codes. The first call was for some people asking me if I wanted to go back to school. I told them I wasn't interested. However they would call everyday. So eventually they got on my nerves and I had to tell to them to stop calling. They did put me on their do not call list.
After that I started getting the "us grant scam" calls. The area code was a 202. They would call and say (in a indian/pakistani accent) "You qualify for a 7000 $ grant blah blah blah". They would have fake "american" names like "Jimmy Henderson" or "Roger Smith" (Hahaha yeah, and I have secret super powers). I believe this is their attempt to fool people. Eventually I used my phones block feature to block calls from 202. It worked like a charm. These people are smart. They figured I blocked them so then on to the next scam.
They started calling from a 305 area code. Same accent. This time something about diabetes or birth control drugs. I told them I was using birth control to not get pregnant (I was jk I'm a guy lol) then I blocked them. They figured that one out. Then they tried 801,512,and I think they finally gave up. Then the 404 started. I think 404 is the last resort. That number. they called me 6 times in the span of two hours. Specially around 5 p.m., pacific time. Blocked that. It seems they have given up finally. Then came the 0000000000, however I had already blocked that as well in preparation and research done here on 800 notes :p, also blockes, 2222,3333,4444,555 down the line and combos like 212121, 01010101, etc. They tried in vain lol.
My resume is posted on a few job sites, and anybody can look at those. I believe that is how they got my number. Block them. Change your number if you can. As soon as I get a job I am getting a new number, to many companies have my resume to the point if I change my number I will lose opportunities.
I've been receiving at least 10 calls per day from this phone,I'm pissed off can somebody please help me? How do they got my number by the way 'cause I don't put my number in any website or stuff like that!!!!!
