Called my cell. No message

Called this number back because i am shutting my phone off so i figured it wouldn't hurt to confirm its a working number. I wanted to try to get info on this number. All i can say is it is obviously not a legitimate business because when i called it, all i got was a recording saying "goodbye". Don't even waste your time answering. Just another scammer.

I have same issue. I call the number back and I just hear a "bye".

Same, glad to find this post. "Good Bye"

Called and left no message.  Came up as Out of Area.  

NO message, called # back heard good bye also. But on caller ID it said Gardena, California

Same thing here "good bye"

Disconnected when I answered. "Bye" when I called back.

Just got a phone call from them they said I owed 5,000$ goodbye and then I called back and all I here is "Bye" and then click hangs up

No message...Good bye!

Just called right now... random... No answer when call back.  #Blocked

said I own some 5000 debt and disconnected.

what are they hacking the phone

Called, left no message. Showed on phone as Gerdena, CA.

Call came in on cell. I don't take calls if I don't recognize the number,

Every time I list something on Craigslist I get a call like this. Scammers. I owe money for a car, l and student loans and this had nothing to do with those.

A telemarketer with a strange accent called me offering a security system at a discount price.  They did not say which company they were representing and I had put the phone down on them as soon as I heard the pitch.

Caller ID says Unknown Name which is a red flag.

Another low life scum bag saying he was in the area and offering free services. Ya right from California he just happens to be by my house in Houston. What is wrong with these demented slime scum from the toilet. Is it an invasion from another planet or what. This crap is freaking endless coming in from everywhere in the United States. What is wrong with you people? Get a life, get laid, get a real job, talk to your mom, get help, buy a poodle, just stop bothering people

I just received another call from this telemarketer. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and received this information as an alternative approach to fight back against robocalls... Complain to the telephone companies. The e-mail is as follows...

"Robocalls are hard to stop. Despite the Do Not Call registry, the robocalls keep coming because they are cheap to set up and easy to disconnect once the spotlight hits.

Many of the companies behind the most annoying robocalls are little more than scam operations. They hide behind spoofed caller ID numbers, and do their best to get you to provide personal information. The scams will continue as long as cheap robocalls can easily connect scammers to potential victims.

That's why it is time for the phone companies to step up and block the unwanted robocalls.

Tell the major phone companies to adopt robocall blocking technologies and stop the scams!

The now famous "Rachel from cardholder services" connected victims to a company that promised to lower credit card interest rates, collected a steep fee, and then provided little or no service according to court filings. Other scammers spoof the IRS or claim to be collecting debts you don't owe.

There are so many scams, the government can't keep up. Despite recent FTC actions costing robocallers millions, the calls continue.

But technologies to block many robocalls already exist. The phone companies have been slow to adopt them, claiming they may not block everything or could inadvertently block a legitimate call. Yet these technologies are already in use in Canada.

Tell the phone companies to stop making excuses and take the lead — stop the robocalls!

Help us stop the robocalls with a quick message yourself. After you've taken action, forward this message to anyone else you know who might want to help! The phone companies need to hear our message — loud and clear!

Why do we have to complain to the phone companies?  Don't they already know what's going on here?  Aren't some of them even profiting from it?  Our best defense is to just ignore them and hope that some day the phone companies/legal system will find a few ethics from somewhere and shut them down.  Life's too short!
