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.

I was called by this number this morning, the caller had an accent and was asking about my son's Social security number. I asked who she was and why was she calling me. She did not provide the information I was asking for and when I told her I will report her, she said "go ahead and do that nothing will happen I have the freedom to call any one I want FBI, Homeland security, CIA cannot do anything about it." This needs to stop and for the safety of the American people, these individuals should be prosecuted and go under investigation. As it is stated in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." (preamble to the U.S. Constitution) I just don't understand why nothing has been done to secure and protect American people from these organizations who prey on and target millions every year and walk away with no consequences?

My husband responded to an ad ( around 07/06/2018) on craigslist for a used winniebago minnie 2005. He called the phone # in the ad. The person asked him to make the payment in Amazon gift cards. Subsequently he received a receipt via email (the email looked like it came from Amazon and had Amazon's logo). He never received the promised RV or any of related paperwork for inspection.

The phone # listed on the ad does not work (i.e., no one answers the phone).

My husband then went filed a incident report with the local police station .

We would like the money paid to be refunded.

Someone called me from (216) 352-6872 number. He told me that I am qualified for a refund for computer maintenance service I received in 2017 because the service company has been closed. He further said he is from BBB. But in order to refund my service fee I paid in 2017, he needs to get into my computer because it needs to be done via online. I asked send me an e-mail in detail or send me a refund check. But he said it cannot be done that way and it has to be through online. I immediately felt that something is not right; so I told him to keep the money himself and hung up my phone.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

On Friday, January 4, 2019 at 3:40 pm EST, I received an automated greeting telling me that I have credit cards and that I can lower the interest rates by pressing 9. With no intentions, because I have one interest free credit card, I was curious to know where they get their information. Got a live person (male) on the phone and I asked, "which credit card are you talking about?" He said, " any of them." Then, I said, "Which bank?" Then, he said, "let me have your card number" Then, I said take my name off the call list. He said, "no" Then I said, "let me speak with your supervisor" He said, 'No, let me have your card number so I can help you" Then I said, " I will give my card number to your supervisor" He said, "no" then disconnected.

My phone number is being used in a phishing scam. The remote device calls someone (not contacts of mine) multiple times in a row late at night, but my number is displayed as the number dialing. To be clear I am not making any of these calls and my call log has no outbound calls. The person calls back concerned that I need help-it is unclear what the caller is asking of them since they missed the call. ATT is unable to do anything to prevent my number from being displayed, but are aware of this scam.
