Calling to present threatening message on immigration related issues. It is quite clear the message is fake as the Immigration and Natural Service will not use such call to conduct business. The malicious act whoever constantly making the call could truly impact new comers to US as they may be familiar with the INS system, and I truly fell the frequent calls to both office phone and cell phone is a harassment.

The phone number used to call my office is 8008738546, and the number used to call my cell phone is 800 909 2233. And the call came within several minutes apart. The same call came many times in the past several months, although I don't recall if it came from the same number.

On March 3, 2019, I received a phone call at 0738 Mountain Time. The caller asked "Is this So-and-so" and without thinking I said yes. The caller immediately hung up. At that point I suspected this was one of those scam phone calls where the get you to say "yes" then hang up. A few minutes later, I called the number and, sure enough, I got a recording saying something like "This phone number is no longer in service, thank you for calling." Now, I knew it was a phishing phone call. So, I wanted to immediately make this report just to document the fact that this happened and to warn others. So far, nothing has come of it, but it's only been a short time since the call.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was selling an industrial motor on Ebay and was contacted by a guy asking for my best offer. He said he would mail a check for payment but first asked for the beneficiary name for the check. That sounded strange. I then asked for more details and was told he had big plans and the motor was for research. I wasn't comfortable with the conversation and decided not to proceed with the sale.

I have had non stop calls from this number 608-305-1319 which starts off as a pre recorded conversation indicating" we have tried numerous times to reach you, if you want Medicare to cover your pain issues you need to speak to us right away or Medicare will not cover" I hung up the first 3 times but then on the 4th & 5th time I pressed 9 which would indicate not to call me any further. However today it started all over again, so I pressed 1 to speak with someone, this time a gentleman came on and said how can I help you with your pain, then I indicated I am demanding that you do not call my number again or I will report you to the ScamPulse.com and they hung up. The call is originating from Janesville, Wi according to my phone ID.

I have been receiving dozens of phone calls from 385-297-08xx. I keep blocking the incoming calls, but they call again with another number, usually just changing the last two digits. I answered just two of the calls, hoping to ask them to add me to their Do Not Call List, but both times, no one said anything. Maybe they are looking for active phone numbers? I used to get 7-10+ calls per day, but they have been tapering off the last week or so.

I received three calls from this number. The first call lead to a voicemail of a male voice looking for someone named Eric. The person was talking very fast and said to call him back as soon as possible. I didn't respond because I assumed it was just the wrong number. Within 10-20 minutes later, the number called twice and I answered on the third call. The same voiced asked if I was Eric and I said "no" (my name is not Eric). It sounded like the caller had bad cell phone reception and he asked if I could hear him, to which I instinctively responded with "yes". He then asked if I had called this number and described himself as being some sort of emergency repair company. I hung up without responding any further because the call seemed suspicious.

After hanging up, I remembered a "can you hear me now?" scam that I heard about in the news last year. There have been no fraudulent charges on my credit cards or bank accounts, but it has only been a few hours.

The scammers use prerecorded message and tell me that they are trip advisors and ask me if I can hear them clearly. Then the phone will suddenly hang up without me pressing the button. I have been receiving their phone calls for about a month and about twice a day. They used to have a male voice but they changed to a female voice. I was quite annoyed by they actions since I receive their phone call a lot. And all of the area code is 240 and the calls are always from Ridge, MD or some place in South Western part of Maryland.
