Go to SpoofCard.com and it will explain on a smaller scale how this is being done and why you can't call back the number that show's up on your caller ID.
IF you are getting these calls, especially if you are getting it every day or twice a day you must report this someone. I'm not sure who. The FCC, Police, FBI whoever. BUT make sure to tell them that the number that shows up on your caller ID is not the number they are calling from.
BUT BEFore you do that, next time they call get as much information out of them as you can about their company and what they are offering while giving away as little information about yourself as you can. Give them a false name. Ask who you are speaking to/what their name is. What the name of the company is, what their website is called. Ask if you can think about it and can you call them back on this number or a different number. seem interested.
EVen better if you can record the conversation or at least put it on speaker phone so someone else will hear the conversation.
if you get a phone call where they ask for you by name (it may start out with some job application you filled out, that's how it did for me). here's the tricky part, when they ask for phone number verification...give them the number they dialed: your number (I mean, they already have it, don't they), then when they ask for you by name, simply say you don't know that person. Make up some name to tell them. ALL the while keep asking what company this is, what's the website, phone number, email address SOMething.
THis happened to me because I believe I tried to apply for a job on craigslist.com (which i love dearly) and the email like that it had for the posting connected me to a webpage called employmentselect.com. So, I don't think craigslist is dangerous, just beware if the email like takes you to a web page.
when I told the nasty women that I had no IDEa who "my real name" was, she said there must have been a mistake and that i wouldn't be called again. I'll wait a few days and let you know if I get another call.
Put it all in your complaint.
If you all are as annoyed as you say you are and your bark really is as big as your bite, then complain complain complain BUT have something to back it up with. "Caller refused to give me a name, company name, telephone number, email address, shoe size AND I have a witness/I have it recorded"
this is absolutely ridiculous and we must stop it. Don't let these people invade our homes and our phones.
