I do NOT Answer Unknown Numbers. Once I have Googled and found that it is a scam call, I then SAVE that exact number in my cell phone book with "NO - " in front of the number. ( EXAMPLE: NO - 281 217-0241 ) I put it as the 'Name' in my cell phone book so that the next time they call I will see my "NO" message and NOT answer it. This has worked well for me. It also saves me time by my not having to Google it AGAIN each time they call back. I know that I have ALREADY researched that particular number. I hope this idea helps everyone. PASS IT ON!!!! GOOD LUCK, from ProGrammar
Just got a call from this number to my NY state cell phone. No message left. Called back and it's Mike Anderson with the full mailbox. I want this to stop.
I got a call from this number. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer the phone. They didn't leave a message.
Received call but left no message, I tried to call back but and the voice mail of Mark Anderson is full
Received a call from this number on my cell phone. I did not answer it and they did not leave a message. It just says unknown. I am on the do not call list, I do not download apps and no one is suppose to have my number.
Some card service - pressed 1 - cussed out the operator that answered and told him to take my number off the list and he said he would NOT - these call cost money and I'm tired of paying for them ! ! - No ID from Houston, Tx.
Dennis,You make a good point and have the experience to support your opinion. Like you, I've worked with White Collar/Fraud crimes for many years and can tell you that these calls are made over internet-based (VOIP) lines that use untracable, spoofed (using someone else's number without their knowledge), or calls that originate outside the U.S. The technology is easily available to make the caller ID display ANY number the caller wants it to show.The FTC and DOJ have investigated these calls for a couple of years, issued thousands of inquiry letters to telephone carriers that respond they have no account subscriber information (think of pre-paid wireless throw-away phones), and issued subpoenas that are ignored by out of the country companies that know they are not subject to U.S. laws.There is no question that these calls are frustrating and illegal, but it still won't stop calls that are routed through foreign countries that have no legal obligation to provide information. Advances with worldwide technology are a double edged sword---making e-mails to people halfway around the world possible, but also making this type of internet-based call through foreign countries very easy to accomplish.Also, don't wait for telephone carriers to take any voluntary action since they are making millions of dollars from this type of call. The CEO of one major telephone service provider made it very clear---his responsibility is to the stockholders of the company and not the public.It's very frustrating for law enforcement, but today's technology is far ahead of current laws.
