I just had a call from this number. I had dealt with this with another number and blocked the
calls. I no longer get calls for the other number, so I'll do the same with this one.
If people used their energy for productive things instead of this crap, it would be a better world.
Caller said he was with Fortress Financial, a taxpayer advocacy group. Gave a callback number of 877-777-7430. Called that number and woman said company name and said company does back-tax negotiation and resolution.
This creep has been calling up to 6 times per evening for the last 3 nights. I finally think I get it. He is paid by every call made. He makes contact, and the minute I answer the call, he hangs up and his commission is earned. Now I check my phone, and when I see it's him, I don't answer. The reason I know it's a guy, one time he responded and ask for someone else. I told him he had the wrong number, but he just kept calling.
The only other thing that could be going on is this some of the big companies pay someone to make these continual calls. Then we call our phone provider to get a call blocker, and they get to charge us $5 more per month.
Whatever is going on, somebody is getting cheating.
