Got a call from 802-230-6357 on my cell yesterday. No message left, but I can see from the comments here that it is another credit card scam. Next time I get one I'll have to answer it and ask "Is this Peggy?" LMFAO.
Maybe I am unique in this, ( I seriously doubt it though), whenever they call and I do answer, I never get a recording about credit cards or anything. Just silence and then the line disconnects. And when I call the number back, I don't get the option of pressing 1. I just get either the mail box is full (this is where I have the option of pressing 5 or *) or the "person I am trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time". Perhaps they have my number blacklisted and will not talk to me; so then why call me? This is where is it plainly harassment.
One thing I have noticed when you get the "message codes" the first two letters in the code is the state abbreviation of where the call is "originating".
Lastly, if you stay on the line long enough, eventually you get to a different recording that throws some more message codes, and these all seem to end in 14 (0814, 2414, 7814).
Yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands. I drive for a living, so I have nothing else better to do that to look for patterns and crap in all this [***] they throw.
Here's a suggestion.
If everyone would press th 1 and talk to a person, then give false information and keep them on the line as long as possible, this would take up their time and make it less worth while.
Listen for a dial tone,
then press star button then 67 to keep them from getting your number,
then press 1-802-230-6357
then when the answer machine comes on press the button 5 to let them your call back number
then put the state police number in for your call back number
don't forget to put the area code in
let them take care of it.
I guess you could put the FBI, FTC, or FCC number in there call back number also. Don't put a toll free number in. The FBI, FTC, & FCC have regular numbers, use them so they have to pay for the call. May be if they get called enough calls from these [***] holes they will do some thing about.
