I received a call from this number tonight and when I tried to do a reverse lookup, nothing came up for the number 480-442-1940. I am on a do not call list as well. I refuse to answer phone calls if I don't know the number calling or if I suspect it to be a telemarketer. Out of curiousity I picked up the phone but said nothing. A man came on using my first name and when he wasn't getting a response he hung up. Next time that number calls me I am going to have a whistle handy and use it as loud as I can when I answer. Maybe a shock and sore eardrum may get the message across that I'm not interested!!
I have a real job, not some scam, and also make over $5000 a month. Do you think you're special because you make that much per month? Amazingly enough plenty of people with legit jobs actually do!
Got a call from this number today, obviously some scam, the man repeatedly asked me if I wanted to make money, I never said yes. I asked what was this was about repeatedly and he would not tell me. Eventually, he got so frustrated that HE hung up on me lol!!!!!!!!!!! From what I have also read, please do not give out your credit card information to anyone requesting it, especially a random caller.
I have received, in the last 2 days, 7 calls from 480-442-1940,415-251-9093, 623-432-0792,among others, who say they are with Merchant Services. You never know it is them because they use a multitude of phone numbers. They come in rapid succession. Somehow they have my cell phone number. I have asked repeatedly to be taken off their list, all to no avail. I am reporting them to the BBB and the FDNC. You can also go to the police, where they can track the numbers and include the local authorities in that area code. Its a total scam...anytime you can google a number and find out this kind of information, you know how prevalent it is.
I found out yesterday that they called my 90 year old mother. They told her that she could work out of her home and make some extra money. They talked her into giving them her credit card number which they obviously didn't need for that purpose; only to scam her.
She has been worrying about this for over a month and didn't tell me. She started having chest pains and was admitted to the emergency room yesterday and is having heart tests today. These people ought to be strung up.
