Got the same call from multiple numbers within my area code 805. The latest one from 248-7716. I never answer unknown numbers and it seems that every unknown number comes from this source. The scam is that they try to get you to say 'OK' but more importantly 'Yes'. Then they paste that response to a verbal contract where that 'Yes' is used to extort money from you because they have your acceptance of the terms of their 'contract' with you. That is my understanding of this scam. Unfortunately this scam is very lucrative to the perpetrators and are still able to use it after two years that I became aware of it.
I've been getting this call for 3 months now, but the past month it's been almost every day, and they started calling from all states too, not only my area code, I am honestly tired of it, I never answer unknown numbers but whenever I do just to see if it's this answering machine again, it is, it's gotten to the point of harassment, has anyone been able to successfully stop them?
