    Re: Telemarketer scam du jour

    Voicemail that my business loan from the Business Loan Center for 150k has been approved and the credit check for it will not affect my credit.

      Mookie rarely answers those (especially now since it is ROAMING) but every once or so often he would and claim mookie couldn’t talk cause he was getting a smoothie, or if it was a dude say mookie was giving a smoothie, then ask if the dude likes to give them too. Then badger teleo warriors with “sure you do... you smoke big brown ones don’t you. Have to to relieve the stress of your stupid job calling people. You prolly imagine how big my pole is now, don’t you?”
      Get hung up on all the time.
      Can’t imagine why??

        Getting a lot of calls labeled from local businesses all of them to tell me they are calling from a credit card co. I never talk to them so I don't know what they would say. Kind of a give away when the caller ID says X dance studio but they are talking about credit.

          Been getting calls from a number. They leave a message that's 6-7 seconds of silence.

            Yep. My personal cell phone with a 906 area code gets the "neighborhood scam" calls (and ****ed off callers "returning" my missed call) and so does my work phone with a 312 area code. Doesn't matter where.

            You would think there would be a way to eliminate cell phone spoofing by making the carriers check the callers MDN and MIN numbers to ensure they're genuine. Knowing the big four (soon to be three), they would charge you a monthly fee to make your caller ID have that screening feature. Kinda like Verizon already does for their existing service (furrows brow in VZW's direction for charging $2.99 a month for plain old caller ID).

                  Anytime a 218 number calls me, I know it's a scam. There is only one other person I know with one, and I have his number saved already.

                  My mom's cousin's husband used to get a ton of telemarketer calls when he owned his own business. He used to record himself screwing with them. My favorite was when a medical insurance company called and he pretended he had full blown AIDS, cancer, and was on dialysis.

                  They hung up pretty quick.

                    I just got the "power company gonna shut off your power!" scam call. (Power company ... if they only knew ... )

                    They said I needed to have a card to pay or lights out in an hour. Really gruff. Really scary sounding. < roll eyes >

                    So I told them I had a card to pay now. The number? "1900 634 5789". Name on the card? "Wilson Pickett".

                    They told me the card had to have more numbers. I said, "I have bad eyesight, let me get the other card ... "

                    " ... 86 75 309 ... name on the card is Jenny Thomas Tutone."


                    The line went dead. :-D
