I received a call from this number, didn't answer it. When I went to use my cell phone, there was a message on the screen telling me International Data Rates would now apply, did I want to continue? I clicked "NO", my phone then lost all service, restarted it, still now service, restarted all apps and service resumed. Is this another hijacking scam?
Caller Id says TWOMENANDATRUCK, which is just a ruse to try to get you to answer the phone. This is just another number being used by the phony contest and credit card interest frauds, scams and devil worshippers, among a menu of ever-changing telephone numbers and scams. Most of the numbers are phony, spoofed, or VoIP, or a combination. More calls grouped into the totality of nuisance, fraud, scam calls, etc.
Unfortunately, as this is a major election year for Congress, local dog catchers, sheriffs, etc., we can expect an increasing number of these types of fraudulent calls to annoy us and try to steal our money and identities. It is also an opportunity to vote out of office all of the firebreathers, tea partyers and other wackos who shut down the Government last year for 16 days, who still oppose Obamacare (despite the fact that millions of their constituents have been able to sign up for affordable health care), and who are shameless liars and embarrass the U.S. with their dumb behavior. Do not donate anything over the phone to anyone, period; an open invitation to fraud and the countless bandits who will simply pocket your "donations." IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION OF RESPONSIBILITY OR ARE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM, AND CULTURE TEAMWORK AT ALL TIMES!
It is assumed that all improperly or incompletely identified numbers are from the increasing number of scams, frauds, tie-lines, etc. This is why everyone must contact their elected reps in DC to demand that they significantly strengthen the DNC laws, providing extremely severe dollar and prison sentences for violators, and give more strength to the FTC. This is an opportunity for Congress to actually do something useful for the country, not just pass gas and throw spitballs at each other. Any business must be properly identified with their legal name on Caller Id, not hide behind Not Available, Private, Unavailable, etc. It is time to ban any kind of solicitation call, whether telemarketer, charitable, political, survey, opinion poll or whatever, plus outlaw any use of tie lines, robo-callers, VoIP, or use of numbers not issued by a legitimate, FCC licensed common carrier (telephone company). You can be assured that funds donated or authorized over the phone will mostly go into the pockets of the organizers, not to the charity or political campaign, or intended purpose, along with a $10 donation showing up as $100s in charges. Never give a credit card number or any personal data to anyone over the phone. There must be a new scam and fraud being generated every second out there. We need call control, not gun control!
This number calls because you have signed up for something online and didn't read the fine print. A sweepstake, online surveys, trying to make money online somehow....somewhere you signed up on something and this company obtained your phone number and name. It's definitely a scam but can be avoided if you stop entering your information on the internet to sketchy websites. Download Mr. Numbers app on your phone and block the number. You have to option to send the number to voicemail or instantly hang up on them. Your phone will never ring.
