These folk are amazing how in the world did they obtain my cell phone number?? My cell phone is listed on the DO NOT CALL LIST. No message was left. If they call back I'm reporting them.
Same junk call; tried returning but got fast busy... means telco can't complete the call.
They've use caller id spoofing. I've been getting a lot of calls like this... you call the number and it either doesn't connect or the announcement says the number is no longer in service or has been disconnected.
The Federal government is supposed to pass legislation barring the use of fraudulent caller id. Got postponed in the Senate from what I've heard.
Amazingly, anyone can spoof their telephone number!!! You could indicate that you are the IRS, ex-wife, anybody.
came up on my callerID too. didn't answer either, never do. I leave my ringer turned off. When the callerID flashes I check to see which scammer it is this time. If I recognize the number, I call back. Saves me from rushing to answer a bunch of nuisance calls. If their automated dialers get enough "no answer"s they eventually give up.
I answered it basically so I could tell them not to call anymore, but since they have the attention spans of gnats and I let it ring more than once, it was a dead line when I answered. No dial tone, just dead air.
It goes in the no-ringtone file on my phone.
