WILL this fancy plan ELIMINATE the SCAM CALLERS like the one I had this AM ???
Caller-—with an accent I could not begin to ID: MAYBE a blend of Hindu & Phillipino Asks if this is ________ ______
I say WHO WANTS TO KNOW?
HE SAYS We have a charge on your Visa for $289...
Before he can finish—I ASK WHAT COMPANY IS THIS”
CALLER-—hesitates—”SECURITY COMPANY” for Visa
I ask “WHAT BANK?”
He stutters & finally says WELLS FARGO.
I GO OFF ON HIM BIG TIME
I DO NOT NOW OR HAVE I EVER HAD A WELLS FARGO VISA-—YOU ARE A SCAM—ETC
HE hangs up.
WHY can’t the FEDS stop this crap???
Set your calls to go directly to voice mail. You can pick up the call if you recognize the number or check your voice mail at your leisure.

It’s difficult to arrest someone calling from Pakistan using a fake phone number. Who are you going to arrest?
Suggest: this has cut my BScam calls to next to nothing. Set up your phone where only callers in your contacts list ring the phone. All other go to voice mail. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. A scam caller won’t take the time.
Congress had the chance to address this 20 years ago.
They invented “do not call” list throwing a bone at voters.
It was a head fake to keep from blocking fund raising calls.
