Same scum, different Spoofed number - 563 275-6507 Caller ID "Unavailable" - Typical scum bag human sewage scam call... Augmented a "big red button" call blocker with a Sentry Ver 2.2 Call Blocker in Mar '15 - the Sentry is the newest form and has better tech than the old reliable CPR Big Red Button Ver2 Blocker that's been in service since late June '14. The Sentry blocks ALL the incoming trash that's hit it so far, if it maintains the length of service the CPR has demonstrated it is the better unit to have... Having both does have a few nice effects - the CPR keeps a running total on what number has called how may times - current "winner" is 43 calls blocked from the same number.
The jackturds that do this crap keep changing the spoofed number and trying tricky crap in the dialing string to get past the blockers but it doesn't work ;> The CRP Blocker sees non phone number strings and odd characters after the call when that last number is added to the blocked list - The Sentry Blocker just plain dumps their call to the crap pile...
It is great to have the turds get shunted straight to the SCREW U bucket with the Blockers doing their thing :> May They waste Thousands of $$$s calling (even though I'm sure it's just pennies). Weeks ago the FCC released another completely meaningless load of BS about how they are "TAKING ACTION !!!" against the types doing this stuff and it will cost them $1,500 a call !!! I haven't seen any difference in the call pattern of scum bags wasting time on me... GOOD LUCK COLLECTING a penny off of any of these scumbags or getting one less call from them until the penalties are more like a Drone launched HellFire up the rear end of everyone of them doing the calling AND the "Management" above the "human drones" doing the phone work...
Tempting as it might be, it's best to NEVER answer these turd's calls and engage them - it only puts your number on the auto dialer's "call more" list since it confirms the auto dialed number used is a "live number" with a possible sucker on the end... They could not give a crap less if you ask to be "Taken off the list...."
A "no one there" call is what I interpret as a "probe" call just to see if there is a pickup or answering machine worth calling back. It's mostly all automated so the scum just act as drones waiting for a pickup and possibly a voice - I still get lots of the one time "probe" type calls followed with a few that are repeat call numbers for a few weeks then all the numbers and CIDs get changed to different ones to try for all new people they can try and defraud.
Too bad there is no listing in the "Call Type" that actually matches the real manner of the scum making the calls - there should be at least "Scammer" in the list.... Some where there may be an actual valid telemarketer making unwanted calls...and that's the only case that "telemarketer" really fits...
