How are scammers getting our phone numbers ? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77365800 United States 02/14/2019 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mother received a phone call this morning. She accepted the call and waiting to listen to scammer's voice. He had a thick accent and asking for someone who doesn't exist at her house. When I googled the number it turns out to be a scammer posing as debt collector. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75037216 What can be done to stop this bullshit once for all ? Let ALL unknown calls roll over to voice mail, and then check voice mail. Answer only phone numbers that you know. |

The post office also sells your info. You only hear about SpecOps when they go wrong. |
