The first "GOODWILL OF CEN" and "GIBSON JOHN" were answered by my voice mail, and they were both the exact same recording talking about "homeowner with excellent credit, press blah blah blah". So, just more phony identification for these scumbag's scams, pretending to be Goodwill and some dude named John Gibson to get you to answer. Could someone please put these jerks into a federal pound-me-in-the-[***] prison already?
I suspect these may be part of the same scam organization that stuck my number in their auto-dialer eleven months ago and has been harassing me ever since. More detail and numbers that have been bombarding me with calls are listed in my posts here:
Just got a call from them today. I don't pick up for numbers I don't recognize, and as usual, they did not leave a message. In my experience, 99 percent of the these calls are about trying to get your money, and occasionally legit, but mostly scams. Sometimes I have fun with them. I ask them to hold and then play this:
Got a call from them today. Company name is CrimeBusters. Claim they installed my ADT Security System at my place of business. I say, "really? where do I work?" He says, "I'm sorry, having a little trouble pulling up your information on my computer right now." I say, "I bet you are because we BOTH know this phone call is a fake!" He says, "A what? A fake? We are CrimeBusters of Arizona...a legitimate company." I say, "anyone can file paperwork to own a business in Arizona...doesn't make you legit! And oh...by the way, this is my personal cell phone number and we don't have an ADT security system at my place of business, so why don't you take my number out of your system & I'll report you to the Better Business Bureau for repeated calls my my phone." He says, "You can do that if you are so inclined..." I interrupt & say, "already on their website filing the complaint! Remove my number from your system. Have a great day!" Click.
