Whenever I receive a call that I don’t recognize as legit, I always hang up right away.

Jenny took me for every cent I had.

Hey - that's MY number. Every time I call you, you hang up on me.
What's up with that?!

[Focault's Pendulum]

It's possible someone either hacked me or hacked one of several Job Search engines I'm currently using

This came across my cell phone and the nature of the call was regarding employment.

Thanks. I don’t know how to block these nuisance calls, but list them on my contact list as NEVER ANSWER.

Another pesky number, at least here in the West, is:

919-590-0877

I have seen foreign numbers come up and no one is there. Obviously if I call back, it’s a tolled call.

I even had a call from something like 111-1111 or something

If I don’t recognize a number I just google it. There are a few sites out there that have users comment on what it is. Usually the scam sites are on them, but I don’t see this one. The best site seems to be 800notes.com

I've read recently that there's a scam out there where someone calls you and leaves no message.If you call that number back it turns out that your phone number is charged $10...$20...or more.

Whoops Sorry, has been reported.

“Lastly, after an extensive reverse directory search, I have determined that the call originates from Jersey City NJ yet the person making these calls lives in California.”

***

Might not even originate in California. There are some websites where you can report scam calls. Someone in one of those sites traced the call to Egypt.

Hey, that’s the White House direct line. Obama calling.

[Jim Robinson]

The phone rings at my house 10-12 times per day. Maybe one or two calls are legit. The rest go like this.

Hello. Silence. HELL-O!

Recorded message finally starts:

The government has determined you are eligible... click as I hang up.

or

The president has enabled it so that you may refinanc... click.

or

As the cost of electricity is soaring, solar... click.

or

As a veteran you should know... click

etc

I never answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize. If they leave a message and are legit I’ll call back.

The numbers below are all part of an online pharmacy scam. I don’t answer them anymore. I’ve stored them under a delightful reference to their deep love for their mothers so I recognize the call when it comes in.

(931) 277-5866
(888) 828-8754
