En la costa este, esta mañana se reportan numerosos avisos de llamadas que pretenden cobro de deudas inexistentes. Estos contactos frecuentemente ocultan su verdadera identidad y utilizan técnicas de suplantación para intimidar al destinatario. Para proteger sus datos personales, nunca proporcione información financiera ni datos de identificación a quien llame sin verificar su legitimidad. Registre la conversación, anote el número y consulte bases de datos de denuncias antes de responder. Si la llamada parece ser un cobrador, presente una solicitud escrita de validación de la deuda bajo la FDCPA y reporte el incidente al FTC y a su compañía telefónica. Mantenga sus dispositivos actualizados y active filtros de llamadas desconocidas para reducir futuros intentos.
The call was purportedly from Security Screen with the number 1-000-000-0001, but no message was left after I didn't answer, which seems fishy.
I had the same call, they were trying to get me to do a balance transfer on my credit card, i blocked the phone # and several days later i began to get calls from "security screen"
Today i recieved six calls from a single digit number on my caller ID, dont know the exact number, my Uverse cant block it.
Despite having an outgoing message warning solicitors to hang up, a call was still received, and after answering and hanging up, a second call was made, at which point a loud scream was used to deter the caller
Clark Howard has provided an update on this scam, offering valuable insights into its nature.
It seem's that Lionel didnt know that his father's account would allow international call's to countries with area code's compatible with the US telephone number format, such as Jamaica
I have been recieving this call all the time and have never had a quest, i have AT&T, so its weird
This number is listed as being out of area, with no additional information provided.
A challenge exists in educating people that the caller ID information they see is likely fraudulent; in many cases, innocent individuals' numbers are hijacked by scammers, leading to misinformed reporting
It's alot better to be informed than not, thats my point
I really love this site, without it i would be wondering if i was missing important call, i look up number here and straight away i can tell if its somethin i might want to pick up the next time phone ring
The DNC list is efective, it realy works
I concur with the sentiment expressed.
It seems contradictory that you are participating in this forum, given your apparent omniscience, and I wonder if YouTube is experiencing downtime
Paying for the DO NOT CALL list has been ineffective, as these callers continue to spoof numbers and call from overseas, making it impossible to track them down; however, asking for a mailing address and sending a cease and desist letter can be an effective deterrent.
A strategy for dealing with unwanted callers involves answering the call, remaining silent, and then simply laying down the phone without engaging further.
Generally, most of us are aware of the basic rules, such as averting calls from unknown numbers and blocking solicitors, but sadly, some people still fall prey to these scammers.
It's not helpful when peoples just post that they never answeed these calls, unless you have some informations about the caller, you are not contributing to the discusion, and bragging about being clever enought to blow a whistle doesnt realy work because they have your phone number and you dont have theirs.
Frustration mounts when considering the recklessness of sharing personal info online, making it a wonder people don't understand the risks
Upon reviewing the site, it seem peoples assumption that the call originate from here is misguided, personnaly I just block the calls and move on with my day
The poster's advertizements are being dwarfed by the compitition
The prevalence of posters requesting call cessation and openly sharing phone numbers highlights the success of phone scams, as many individuals lack internet savvy and fall prey to deceit
Complaining in this platform wont help much, scammers usualy dont bother to check this site, excepd when they are trying to convience you that a scam site is legit
Given the prevalence of scams, it's plausible that phone numbers could be obtained through 'identity theft' protection services, which makes me wary of such products.
Ett anonymt samtal, ingen förklaring och ingen tydlig avsikt.
Unfamiliar number with a strange format, didn't answer
De har ringt mig två gånger, och när jag svarade var det tyst i andra änden, jag har också fått samtal från ett annat nummer med samma beteende
It has ringed severl times the last few dayz, no anser
Okänt nummer, bara ett snabbt pip utan samtal.
Numerous calls have been received over the past week, but no online presence can be found.
