Ever wonder why that persistent 1‑888‑888‑8888 keeps ringing your phone without leaving a message? The likely culprit is a telemarketing operation that uses caller ID spoofing to mask its true source. To protect yourself, first add the number to your device’s block list and register your line with the national Do Not Call Registry. Consider installing a reputable call‑blocking app that flags suspicious origins. If the calls continue, file a complaint with the FCC or your local consumer protection agency, and never share personal or financial details with unknown callers. Staying vigilant and using available tools can dramatically reduce unwanted outreach.

An individual, claiming to be 'Ben' with an Indian accent, called from a number resembling 1-888-888-8888, stating the recipient had won a gift card and gas voucher from Walmart.

These callers are extremely annoying, constantly calling.
When I answer, theres only silense on the other end of the line.
It seems that these callers aim to frustrate people, but in the grand scheme of life, a few annoying phone calls are minor, and one solution is to simply turn off the ringer or use a phone with a flashing feature when it rings.
I have received multiple missed calls from this number, and it seems likely that it is an automatic dialer attempting to solicit sales or services.
I have been subjected to repeated calls from this number during prohibited hours, both before 8am and after 9pm. Following days of incessant calls at all hours, I decided to investigate the name "ECON WEALTH" that appeared on my caller ID. Upon attempting to contact their business, I was met with no response, leading me to send an email instead. They responded to my complaint with yet another call, this time with the caller ID reading "Financial ECON", claiming that their system had been hacked and was being used to make prank calls. They maintained that they were powerless to stop these calls, categorizing it as a "consumer complaint". What's puzzling is how this company, now referred to as ECON FINANCIAL (despite their website clearly stating they are ECON WEALTH), obtained my phone number, given that I have no prior dealings with them. Their inability to halt these calls, purportedly resulting from their own system's breach, is disappointing. Thus, I am writing this complaint in the hope that it may lead to the cessation of these harassing calls.
