Supplicium Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I get 20-30 of these calls a day on my Verizon cell phone. Nothing can stop them. I block them on my iPhone but they just get another google phone number and keep calling. I will say I probably got on the list by using gambling and coupon sites. I just dont want to give up on my number ive had for 18 some years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 So...I deleted Truecaller because it only worked 1/4 of the time. I put too much faith in a free app - including sharing my contact info - and got exactly what I deserved. If Truecaller gets hacked, it wasn't me who put your numbers on their system, people...it was someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Funny enough I got my first spam call from this exact number root (363XXXX) today. Great.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Motherfuckers...I just got a back-to-back cell phone call from 614-335-6452. I left a business meeting (gotta go back) but barked at the b!tch on the line about the gaul they have double-calling me from a telemarketing firm. Their customer service "line" is a Gmail account: http://kfor.com/2017/01/24/mysterious-call-will-leave-you-scratching-your-head/ I seriously wish I could find out where these were coming from. It's incredibly annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Its going to be a pain, but keep an eye on your email. That's usually where they are coming from (some sweepstakes you entered, or that super cool dish from ikea kinda shit). Start by unsubscribing from the spam mail. That will help to remove your info from any legit companies. I know its been said before but if you have an android, you can click on the phone number in your recent history list. Click the details icon and there will be an option to block the number. It will still be able to call you, but your phone wont ring to it. It will just show up as a random missed call.

LJ Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I got 6 calls from 614-349-3483 and 3 from 614-349-9071 yesterday. I finally answered and they went into a spiel about lowering my student loan debt. I responded "You stupid fuckers, I don't have any student loans in my name, fuck off" I also got a "Can you hear me?" call from 855-255-6531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I keep getting voicemails from "Amanda" with "an important message about additional utility charges on my account"......no mention what the account is, or what company it even is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I also got a "Can you hear me?" call from 855-255-6531 DO NOT SAY YES WHEN YOU GET THIS CALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 DO NOT SAY YES WHEN YOU GET THIS CALL I didn't. The .gov has confirmed though that if you say "yes" it signs you up on thousands of call lists and supposedly they use it to authorize charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I get these multiple times a day every day from 614 #'s, and blocking the #'s don't do any good because they just call from another 614 #. So I've started to answer them and be a complete d bag. They usually hang up quickly. This morning's first was short and sweet: Me: "Hello." *pause* D-bag: "Hello. May I please speak to Mr. Ryan Corlew." Me: "Proper phone etiquette dictates that you introduce yourself before asking for someone and making demands. That being said, who am I speaking with?" *pause* *nervous laugh* D-Bag: "Well Sir, that's not how I do it, but you are right...(inaudible). Then hangs up.

LJ Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I just answer and put the phone between my shoulder and face, breathe into the phone, and continue with what i was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yes...looking at my history I get nearly one call a day from (614)363-62xx. I also get calls now from the same area code and prefix (first 3 numbers) as my own cell number, so I really have to just send stuff to my VM and hope legit callers leave a VM. I talk to a lot of people and this is how they operate as well. It's funny how cellphone voicemails will probably make a comeback in 2017+, thanks to this garbage. [emoji38]I get a ton of them, at least one per day, but not always from the same number. It's always the same thing though, vehicle warranty services.
