These scammers have been hitting me with a phone call per day for the past 3-4 months. They always use a different phone number, and only twice did they leave voicemail (one was a recording, one was a bunch of guys chatting as if they forgot to turn on the robot). The recording says something like "the IRS is suing you."
For the numbers that weren't blocked, I tried checking them using Twilio's Lookup service: https://www.twilio.com/lookup https://www.twilio.com/lookup
While the numbers are often in my local area code, the Twilio API shows the "Mobile {Network,Country} Code" is typically in South America or Eastern Europe.
How did they get my phone number? I replied to a Craigslist ad a while back that turned out to be a scam :( I wish there was a way to get rid of the calls ...
- cmdrfred 12y agoGoogle voice my friend.
- brightsize 12y agoYep. I have two GV numbers and never give out my real number ever. If someone legit wants to talk to me, they'll leave me a GV voicemail.
- tracker1 12y agoOne suggestion, I set my voicemail on my actual phone to the disconnect tones followed by a very long random message... I use an mvno that doesn't let my set conditional forwarding. Love GV been using it for years.
