Got a call from 971-220-1938 a\at 7:15 this evening. They claimed to be the FBI. It was an autoattendant recording about installing a security system, "to hear more press 1 now, to end the call press 9". Sounds like a scam.
Strange! the same number just called my work, (a car dealership), and it was a very LOUD recording about credit cards, and debt or some garbage like that... then i pressed 1 to talk to the person to ask who the call was directed for and all i got was static then a hang-up. weird
Since my son signed our phone numbers on DNC list , believe it or not that is when calls from 800 numbers increased on our private cells and home numbers. I even received unwanted marketing texts from my private cell phone. It seems like big jokes to me ' The Do Not Call '. I am planning to cancel all phones services all together this year because we consumers are not protected at all by anyone. I even received calls a few times after 1:30 AM deep in sleep. This is ridiculous. Even our local providers give out our private cell numbers to collectors. Which is not right.
I have been on the DNC list for years. Nothing changed. Still get calls from every scam artist and
telemarkets in the country.. The DNC is a Joke. For a while I just looked at the caller I.D, picked up the phone,then put it down and walked away. Lately I answer the phone and blow a whistle into the phone as loud I can then hang up. The calls have decreased quite a bit but still get more than I want.
