got a call posing as state troopers assoc and wanted to agree to pay for dui check point support. when called back, gets a message saying number not in service.looks like a scam
Received call from this number saying they were with the Hamilton County Police somethingorother...asked if I still lived on the street that I do live on...said thank you for our support of the police and their families and they'd send me a decal for my car if I agreed to support again this year (which is odd because I remember a similar conversation with someone about a year ago, same group, and said no). I said thank you, but I support our local police and do not wish to contribute, at which point they immediately hung up on me. I tried calling back the number and got what everyone else has...says "The number you have reached is not in service." This is definitely a scam, and needs to be stopped before someone unknowingly gives them too much personal information over the phone!
Twice today and it's not the first time. As soon as I answer, they hang up, when the number is called back, recording states number not in service. Caller id also shows similar numbers 898-8500, 898-8549, 898-8504 all with the same results.
I keep getting calls from 513-898-8478 as well. I answer, and they hang up. That "The number you have reached is not in service" message everyone is getting is clearly bogus and not generated by a LEC of any sort. The scam company's PBX is producing the message. Are they waiting for a child to answer for a scam?
