When a felon calls thousands of people in an attempt to rob us and claiming to be "National Patrolmen's Foundation" Wouldn't you think that the police would make an effort to jail the crooks? The authorities know about this felon but they do nothing. What really pisses me off is the fact that our law enforcers do nothing to stop this telephone crime. Apparently the FBI is using all their assets to investigate global warming. You can report these crooks: I fell for that gag: It’s just a waste of time because the authorities do nothing to stop the caller. I don’t even answer my land line any more: That phone line has become totally useless because of all the criminal callers. I have a call blocker: Yes I fell for that gag too: The criminals just use a different number the next time they call. Caller ID has become useless as well: The crooks simply provide a fake phone number. I have gotten calls that show my own number as being the caller.
All I heard was "Hello, this is Ken Daughtry. Hello? Hello? Are you there? At that point I deleted the message.
BTW, my landline phone is combined with the answering machine. I have it set up to announce the number. 90% of the time I can tell whether it's legit or a telemarketer without getting up and looking at the display on the phone. Any toll-free number is a scam, and any area code with the pattern 8xx, where the 2 x's are the same digit, is toll-free. If it's not one of the only 8 area codes near where I live, I let the machine answer it.
It's not as easy to catch them as you might think. Caller ID is still pretty useful, because they don't know who my friends and relatives are (because I don't use Facebook), so most of the time I can tell quickly. If it's my own number, they know because that's the number they're calling, but of course that's fake. I'm really surprised anyone falls for that, but then I'm also surprised when someone votes for a candidate just because they recognize his name and know nothing else about him.
