WE are our own and only first line of defense and NO ONE should be answering unidentified or unrecognized numbers, even if they appear to be local or toll-free numbers...they most likely are spoofed..(Also, letting it ring wastes more of their time and money).
The second line of defense is to promptly hang up. Do not respond in any way...not by voice or selection and don't call back.
Third, be sure to register all your numbers and report any unwanted contact to FTC, DNC. Then, just by dialing your number unsolicited, they are in violation of the DNC, therefore a scam.
One more...SHRED. Receipts and documents have a lot of information.
Called on land line phone. I did not answer and no message was left or call was rejected as unrecognized, unidentified, and in violation of DNC, so assume a SCAM.
SCAMMING AND PHISHING CAN ONLY SUCCEED IF THERE IS A MARKET! Be smart, alert, suspicious, and aware. Educate yourself, share and report.
Called my DNC registered landline. No voicemail.
I used *67 to call back. Message asks for your cell and email but can't go into details other than you can earn 5 or 6 figures monthly. If you leave your info, you'll find out shortly.
Voicemail says "will show you how to put $10,000 or more in your pocket in the next 10 to 14 days"... "this message will absolutely blow your mind so press 1 right now"... "press2 and I guarantee you'll never hear from us again.". The caller ID showed up as "Compleat Rehab" which per google search looks like a legit physical therapy chain in North Carolina, but none of its locations shows this contact number so that's probably phonied up too. Sounds dangerous. I'd just hang up or don't answer.
