Letting off steam
For the forth time this week I got a phone call from a telephone that
spoofs the telephone number of an Apple store. They give me a number to call, which does not compare with any legitimate Apple number. I have reported this phony number to Apple. Letting off steam. -- PeterN |

I have reported this phony number to Apple. there's nothing apple or anyone else can realistically do. the calls are almost certainly coming from outside the usa, and it's only going to get worse. |

Well, spam of all sorts are getting weirder and weirder. I get messages like this: "Big girl banged in big cock video" xxx "gives her boyfriend a handjob in class Check this video out" Link! And I clicked one of those once using an Anonymizer and got a blank page! I can only assume that I'm probed to find out my potential weaknesses and that the attack on me kingdom could be, or not be imminent! -- teleportation kills |

Per PeterN:
For the forth time this week I got a phone call from a telephone that spoofs the telephone number of an Apple store. My cell phone gets fairly-frequent robocalls from numbers on the same exchange. With me it's to the point where, if you are not in my phonebook, I do not answer. On the land line, since starting NoMoRobo, robo and solicitor calls have dropped from 6-10 per day to *maybe* one per month. -- Pete Cresswell |

The latest thing they do is to spoof both area code and local exchane to make it look like a call made from your local area. So your number might be (820)239-1234, and the spoofed number will be (820)239-4321. There are IRS scams, Police Association scams, Junior Police scams, travel scams, Disabled Vets scams, international call charges scams, and more. Some are are nationally local, many redirect to somewhere on the Indian sub-continent, or Eastern Europe regardless of apparant origin. I just don’t know how I am going to solve IRS problems by dealing with somebody in Bulgaria, or Mumbai. With me it's to the point where, if you are not in my phonebook, I do not answer. Yup! If it is in anyway important, and the number is not in my contacts they can leave a voicemail, or text. On the land line, since starting NoMoRobo, robo and solicitor calls have dropped from 6-10 per day to *maybe* one per month. I also use Mr.Number on my iPhone. http://mrnumber.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1047334922 -- Regards, Savageduck |

So you are saying that the number they ask me to call cannot be traced? According to one of my friends, who was an engineer with the original AT&T, and another friend who is retired from a TLOF agency, just about any number can be traced, though some with more difficulty than other's. I also heard some horror stories about some who were naive enough to either press the requested button, or call the number they ask you to call. -- PeterN |
