This phone # repeatedly calls me on a daily basis – I do not answer as “no name is shown on the caller ID. Tonight, I was so fed up with the repeated calls, I dialed the # back and someone answered indicating that it was being recorded and then immediately asked “can you hear me OK?”! I immediately hung up without saying a word because I have heard that if you answer that question some type of scam is triggered. Hopefully, by providing this phone # someone can “shut them down” and charge them for their illegal activities!!

Type of a scam Phishing
I get about 15 phone calls a day from the same four people who often change their names each phone call. I know that it is the same four people because they call so much that I’ve started to recognize their number. At first, I never answered the phone calls but then I got annoyed and when I answer, I don’t say anything. I just wait for them to say "Hi this is (name) calling from a recorded line with" and the line goes silent for a minute, like they intentionally cut out what business they are calling from, and follow with "can you hear me okay?" I hang up. It’s so frustrating to be called so much during the day. Each time they call me from one number, I block it on my iPhone and they find more numbers to call me from. I have people who call me so it tricks me sometimes into answering because it’s a phone number with the same area code as mine. I used to think it was maybe my son’s doctors office, people calling from work, etc. I’m going to change my phone number to avoid this and will be sure to ask my phone company to block robocalls to avoid my phone being blown up by these people. The most common names they say are Mason, Joe, Angie and Angelina.
