Very interesting indeed.
Did you speak to someone?
Anything that easily forged is worthless as evidence.
I think you’re confused
Maybe not confused after all

Unless it supports the agenda!

Rachel has a new scam. When she calls again just lay the receiver down and let the recording run out. That way it costs them several calls to someone else.
We have seen our # show up on caller ID - Simply someone who wants money from you - tell them they are scum and to buzz off
Sometimes the calls from “credit card services” are legit. My credit card company is very cautious and they’ll call to confirm unusual activity.
I get fishing expedition calls daily. The ones that repeat I have the system hang up on. The ones that change numbers I monitor the numbers and if the number looks bogus I jus dont answer. The ones I answer and are bogus, I let them know in no uncertain terms that they are thieves and that I will report them. (I don’t but perhaps it takes me off their lists)
I am on state and federal do not call lists. But no one seems to abide by those anymore
Seriously, the scammers have more ways of scamming than we can keep up with.
Legal?
No, but there ain't a whole lot you can do about it.
Just keep on feeding it to the FCC.
Not that it'll accomplish anything, but if their "in" box gets too full of this type crap, they might..."might", do something.
And the "Do Not Call" list is simply useless...so there ya go.
Did you speak to someone?
Nope. Once the automated message said there was no problems with my credit and that I should speak with someone. I just hung up.
I’m pretty sensitive to this crap since I have a relative dealing with ‘someone’ in authority creating evidence against them in a custody suit using text messages from a burner phone.
Spoofing caller ID can be a federal offense (Caller ID and Spoofing), but it seems just about any and everything can be a federal offense, so I just blow that off too.
Same thing happened to me except I didn’t answer so I don’t know who would have been there if I had.
Yesterday, I received a call identified as my wife-using her number-I answered and there was no response. My wife was at the doctor and being treated. I called her back and her voice message came on. The process just described occurred again and fearing problems I again called my wife. She eventually called back and said she never called me as she was being treated. I wonder if my experience was what you described-except for use of the wife’s phone number?
