There is a phone scam in the UK where it shows up as a police station number in the UK but really it's a scammer. I remember having a missed call, and I Google'd the number and it showed the police station I was like oh crap. I then called the station number and they said it was a phone scam.

I got those while ago. If you google it you will see there is so many people getting them and this is a SCAM. Good for you that you hang up, cause they would want to get your info and everythign credit card number and so on..

Haha..Your comment made me think of something I did just a week ago that was almost identical to your suggestion. I got a text message from someone that said something like.. Let's chat!! Message me on Yahoo at --------@yahoo......I replied, Who is this? He/she replied..Message me on yahoo and find out!!! The number texting me was long distance South Carolina number . I did a search on the internet but the only thing I could find out was the cell phone service provider it was operating from. Any... [ More ]

Scams are popping up a lot more these days. Phone, internet, occasional usps mail ... all the same - they want to take your money.

One scam that is showing up again is the hitman scam where they say they will actually kill you if you don't pay them. The good news is these are almost always from an offshore concern - Russia usually - and there is zero percent chance anything is going to happen to you. They play on people's fears and make actual death threats.

Best bet to avoid phone s... [ More ]

There are phones that have this feature to reject anonymous callers. It says The number you are calling does not accept calls from callers who do not allow the delivery of their telephone number, please unblock your number and try again.

Just say I don't think your puny .... could satisfy me

he won't ever put anyone one speaker again.

Yeah, well he better hope he never calls my house again. It disturbs me that I cannot block numers that show up as UNKNOWN.

I'm sure this is not the first time these people have done such things...They probably make fun of Americans and probably even put me on speaker so he and his co-workers could get a good laugh..

I know I shouldn't laugh but that is so funny, especially the part he said it slowly. Guys from Pakistan and India and Nepal use V where W is used lol

He said, I want to F---- you.:

I thought to myself, Can i be hearing him correctly? He cannot be saying what I think...So, I said, Excusee me???

then slowly he said (in Indian voice)... I....VAUNT....TO.....F***K.... YOU

Well, what was the profane statement that he made? I understand if you have to clean it up, just curious about what he said.

If there is no caller ID but it gives you a phone # try going to 800notes.com

You can put the # in and if see others are getting called from there also.

Yep ..... it takes all kinds to make a world CinCin

Including the Low Life you mentioned in your post that was talking to you

People are very brave on a phone , when they know you cant get your hands on them

The no call list worked good for me for quite awhile ( got rid of about 90 % of the unwanted calls )

Then they started again , now and then , after a few years , so I renewed again on it , and then they slowed down again

I hope it improves and wor... [ More ]

I hear ya about beating them with the bad words, but this was more than just a statement that involved cursing. This was a statment that involved telling someone what they wanted to do them sexually.

PS I signed up on the government DO NO CALL list when it first came out. I think I've even done it twice...I STILL get calls!!! I can't ve for certain if this thing even works.

Had good luck registering with donotcall.gov. It could be your neighbor. You can get a free number from any state thru google voice and maybe any country. I have one from alabama and pranked some people i know.

Good One Tony

Thats Gonna Be A Classic Right There ( I like it )

The way I usually do them Cin Cin , is I beat them to those bad words , before they can say them , because there aint nothing that peas me off more than those type of calls

They get in a cussing contest with me , when I am mad , and they are gonna lose ( and thats a fact )

Here's one to try...........let them start into their pitch ( where they go on for 5 minutes ) and as soon as they start... ...... [ More ]

For about 5 months, I was getting very similiar phone calls 3 to 4 times a day. The number would state unknown . I can block private numbers on my home phone but I cannot block unknown . They sounded to be from India and would state they were calling from Microsoft and my computer was sending signals and they needed me to go to a website and download something to stop this. In the beginning, I would just hang up on them. Then there were times when I would ask them to add me to their Do Not Call

i had one where they said they where from microsoft and had detected a dangerous virus on my computer, and had called to help me fix it.

if i was more with it i would have followed their instructions, because i know they like to tell you to activate remote access and give them your IP adress. i wouldnt actually do that, but i would have liked to hear the instructions. next time i will play along and record the conv over the phone. to post on...

Strange Phone Call

CARBOB — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:24:48 GMT

Received a very strange phone call to-night. The caller had no id, out of area. The caller ask me to go to a website and they would fix all my errors on my computer. Needless to say, I said, no thanks and hung up. I have no idea what that was about, but my gut feeling was, it can't be good!! Has anyone ever received that type of call
