I get calls from this number but let machine answer no message is left. I'm in Grovetown,Ga. and caller ID indicates it's from Appling,Ga. which is eight miles up the road.
They are not in Athens. Because you (and others) either live in Athens GA or can in some way be affiliated with Athens Georgia, this companies robo service chooses and Athens phone number for its caller ID so most will think they are receiving a local call and pick up.
With VOIP (voice over IP, or internet calling) you can buy numbers from almost anywhere in the world.
How do I know that the call I received was a scam? The number they called is a roll over VOIP # that is unlisted and we don't give out.
They call several times a week.
If I do answer they hang up.
I would like to tell them to check their Do Not Call List as I am on it,
but they do not give me the chance.
Telephone harassment.
I just got the same call from this number! I didnt answer nor did i call them back! This number needs to be blocked!! I live in Colorado now but I used to live in Augusta... How are these people getting numbers? That should be illegal!
This is a scam, but due to the no call list they will let it ring once and hang up. They expect people to call them back thus they did not violate the no call law.
