The comments about this solicitor / scammer, obtaining our phone numbers from Craigslist, Facebook, or others similar, are correct. I've no doubt they have an available program to automatically "harvest" phone numbers from these sites, that wil in turn directly dial out to (us) for the solicitors / scammers purpose. Guaranteed this is an efficeint method for their scams / call centers.
Believe this - if you have knowledge, and or use of a website that people publish their phone numbers on, then rest assured, they (solicitors / scammers) know about these sites too, and will use them to their advantage.
There are always scammers / crooks operating at any given time, whether it's a good economy or a bad one. Unfortunately, in this "computer / technology" age, it makes their goal of illicit activity, much easier.
i am tired of answering my phone every night exactly at 8:22 pm and no one is talking and when i call back it is an answering machine said it is a reservation center .any one has any idea how can i stop then from calling my number ?what should we do about this?
ok.. you will get a kick out of this.. some indian lady just called me from this number and argued with me because i wanted her to take my name off their list of people to call.. it was about some open house at south fork( a trailer park) and she wanted to offer me free plane tickets.. no lie!
