Never answer or call back or send text. Fox News had a scam announcement about it today. If you answer their question yes when they ask if you can hear them, they then use your voice to approve taking out money from your account, etc. just block. As for the persons number scammed, they are in your phone and can also read you emails, Facebook etc.
Hello,
I'm the owner of the telephone number in question. A week in and I'm still getting hundreds of phone calls a day. I had to enable call blocking, so that I can use my phone. DO NOT ANSWER THE CALL! It is a scam! I want to get this [***] head. If you receive a call from this number please report it to your carrier as soon as it happens. Record the time as it may show up on your phone records as an entirely different phone number. As a favor to me and everyone else here, could you please post your findings here. I have been checking this site every couple of days. I am in the process of filing a police report. Still waiting on my carrier to provide me with some records. Seriously, [***] this guy. Do I seem a little pissed off? Also , thanks to everyone for their condolences on this matter. Once again, this is an ongoing scam!
