My Chinese wife receives phone calls like this all the time. Either it's DHL telling her she has a package to pick up (in a completely different state) or it's the consulate asking for some information. I guess my phone number got in with hers somewhere along the line as I've also received a call or two like this.
- a_t48 6y agoI also get the DHL scam calls. Once I tried telling them that I was American and didn't speak Chinese (which is about the extent of my very rusty Mandarin knowledge) and it stopped the calls for a couple of months. That tactic did not work the second time around, though. :(
- toast0 6y agoMy wife and I have cell phones in the 650 prefix that are less than 1000 apart and my number is less than hers; the Mandarin scam calls come to my number a couple minutes before hers... I'm pretty sure they're just war dialing the whole area code. You can usually guess it's them because they spoof 415 numbers or 213 numbers.
