Spam blitz
The last few days I have been blitzed with a new (to me) spam process. A call will come in from 904682640684 or 23522367987 and when answered immediately leave a message. Clicking/selecting that mess...
- I got 30 of them yesterday, all from various international numbers. About 10 again today. They call hang up after a ring or 2. I read the scam is they call a few times to entice you to call back to see whatbit is about, which in turn would incur some sort of charges. Don’t call them back! https://www.google.com/amp/s/miami.cbslocal.com/2019/04/08/are-you-getting-unexpected-overseas-calls-heres-why/amp/
Depending on your phone you may have be able to block those numbers.
Problem with that is that some of those numbers are real numbers that the scammers piggy back on top of. I know one person who got a call from her OWN NUMBER!
I got 15 calls today, from 6 different numbers. All the same, phone rings twice and goes to message. All numbers are “odd” and if one clicks on the number in the message I get “long distance charges may apply”.. So, guessing, this is one of those $30.00 a minute scams to listen to.. nothing, or an add for a back scratcher.
