I forgot to say that when I told the bi*** that I had no IDEa who "my real name" was, she said there must have been a mistake and that i wouldn't be called again.  I'll wait a few days and let you know if I get another call.

this is absolutely ridiculous and we must stop it.  Don't let these people invade our homes and our phones.

OK, here's the deal,


Go to SpoofCard.com and it will explain on a smaller scale how this is being done and why you can't call back the number that show's up on your caller ID.

IF you are getting these calls, especially if you are getting it every day or twice a day you must report this someone. I'm not sure who. The FCC, Police, FBI whoever. BUT make sure to tell them that the number that shows up on your caller ID is not the number they are calling from.

BUT BEFore you do that, next time they call get as much information out of them as you can about their company and what they are offering while giving away as little information about yourself as you can. Give them a false name. Ask who you are speaking to/what their name is. What the name of the company is, what their website is called. Ask if you can think about it and can you call them back on this number or a different number.  seem interested.

EVen better if you can record the conversation or at least put it on speaker phone so someone else will hear the conversation.

if you get a phone call where they ask for you by name (it may start out with some job application you filled out, that's how it did for me). here's the tricky part, when they ask for phone number verification...give them the number they dialed: your number (I mean, they already have it, don't they), then when they ask for you by name, simply say you don't know that person.  Make up some name to tell them.  ALL the while keep asking what company this is, what's the website, phone number, email address SOMething.  

THis happened to me because I believe I tried to apply for a job on craigslist.com (which i love dearly) and the email like that it had for the posting connected me to a webpage called employmentselect.com.  So, I don't think craigslist is dangorus, just beware if the email like takes you to a web page.

Put it all in your complaint.

If you all are as annoyed as you say you are and your bark really is as big as your bite, then complain complain complain BUT have something to back it up with.  "Caller refused to give me a name, company name, telephone number, email address, shoe size AND I have a wittness/I have it recorded"


this time we're the Man, and we are taking down them.

that's all I got for now.

I received a call from this number stating from the called that he wanted to talk to me about a check.  I did not have any checks out so I did not call back.  He later called me at the number 876-583-9723 telling me he was a contractor wanting to come to my home and make any repairs.  I would hang up and he called back 7 more times until he discovered I was on to him.  The next day I got a call from 876-293-1371 and this time he told me he was John Morgan and I had won a prize in a big box from out of the country.  He stated the box had arrived at New York; however they needed money to send it to me.  He said I was a winner of the Publishers clearing house and they needed my bank information.  I told him I didn't want any box and I hung up.  I reported to the police what had happened they said there was nothing they could do.  I reported this to our local Paris, Texas news.  They also said they could do nothing because they did not have the manpower to investigate it.  I called Alltel wireless and thankfully there will not be an additional charge to my phone.

I won 3.5 million dollars!!!!! Am I lucky or what? They asked me to call that number but I obviously didn't.
