JerrySTL ★ Posted January 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2019 They are getting worse and worse. Below are some calls that came up on Caller ID in the last couple of days. I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. They can leave a voice mail. They are from oldest to newest. 435-222-7119 432-219-8009 417-815-0639 414-240-7339 412-274-7672 304-309-6152 305-307-5549 Notice the similarity of the numbers especially the last two. I'm about 99% sure that the numbers are spoofed. I report junk phone calls to https://800notes.com/ phone number lookup site. Another guy reported 5 of the same numbers in the last couple of days. I wish that I could reach through the phone line and punch the telemarketers in the throat. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that to a few email spammers. I've even given out fake social security numbers and bank accounts. Then I claimed I made a typo and have them try another set of numbers. I even have a junk email account for such hi-jinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wilbur ★ Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share #4 Posted January 20, 2019 I let them ramble through their long and tedious script then counter them.. If it is "Revenue Canada". I tell them, "What a coincidence, I work there too". If is duct cleaning, I wait and then tell them I have electric baseboard heat. Sometimes they even curse me out! Fun times.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted January 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2019 The biggest problem I have is business related as it adversely impacts business. As a result, I turned the ringer, and hopefully I feel the vibration to answer those known customers showing in caller ID. But new potential customers are not in my contacts yet so very dependent for them to leave a message. Use to really mess with them as it kept my sales skills polished dealing with objections and counters, but realized, they were blocking real customers from reaching me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
