Road Runner Posted April 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2019 I keep getting phone messages telling me to call a certain person to discuss paying off my student loan. Apparently, they don't even bother to check whether you have ever actually had a loan. I guess they just assume that out of a given number of calls, a significant portion of the callees will have, or at one time had a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted April 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2019 I have a cell phone issued by my work. Never given out to anyone other than work. I regularly get phone calls about my credit cards, even though I never have listed that number on a credit card application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted April 25, 2019 Share #10 Posted April 25, 2019 If you want to find out, click the link, give them your address, and when the package shows up you can read the return address. Why is this so hard to figure out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no carpets - just a few throw rugs - but I get an automated message from "Dave's Carpet Cleaning" once or twice per week - from different fake caller's phone numbers. Once I stayed online to speak to a representative and asked them where their store is located and got a runaround. I asked to be taken off their list since I have no rugs. No luck! The phone company charges these companies for making phone calls and can surely track how many calls they make. Why can't they track when these companies are using fake caller ID numbers?

You don't need a phone number or account to make phone calls. All you need is the IP address of someone who does who doesn't know. You don't think these guys pay monthly phone bills do you?
