I just received a call from this number, 10/17/13. The scammers are out in full force these last few days. Just since yesterday morning, I received 20 scam calls, and it's still early today. I expect several more before 9:00 tonight. 13 new numbers in the last two days, and I suspect most of them, if not all, come from the same scammer. The number of calls per day have been worse than they ever have been the last few years I have been keeping track. I have my answering machine turned off and never answer the calls. That seemed to help a lot over the months and I was only getting one every other day or so, but it has been so bad lately. I ordered a TeleBouncer that screens out automated calls. It sounds like it will take care of these kind of calls, plus survey and political calls too. Can't wait to get it!
Please remember to submit a complain to the Do Not Call Registry (if you registered your number). They are pretty toothless, but if the same number comes up in the complain database a lot, who knows? One can hope they can shut this crap down. I just added 4 numbers to the complaints. Today, it has been a barrage of crap calls. Unfortunately, Call Block doesn't let me bloc, these number with "7" start area codes.
