I got a missed call from 312-340-0857 earlier in the week - they also didn't leave a message. After looking up the number and finding out it was a cruise scam, I blocked the number. I'm guessing they tried reaching me though this 312-267-0341 number as an alternative instead.
Definitely going to block this number as well. If they try reaching me though yet another number, we're going to have a serious problem. - HannaHad a missed call from it. Left no message.
- Chicago EdRang wireline. Left no message.
- Caller: "Chicago, IL"
- NOT HAPPYReceived this call at 2 am. Really. By the time I pick up they hang up. I try calling back and get a busy signal.
- GstarCalled, left no message.
- BSWhat this may be. It's a bot that is just dialing numbers, if you pick up you get tagged as a valid phone number and it gets sold to tele-marketers, scammers, and so on.
- FremontCalled, left no message. On a Sunday afternoon! Probably desperate to make some quota. Blocked now.
- Nancy| 1 reply3-20-2016. Answered because I was expecting a Chicago call. But this was a pre-recorded message offering free cruise for completing a survey. Press 1 to take survey, 9 to be removed. I pressed 9. Time will tell if I actually get removed from their call list. :-/ Since I don't know who this was I'm certainly not going to just trust them.

A lot of posters on 800notes complain they get many calls from scammers.
A few posters state they get hardly any.
Why the difference? Here are possible reasons.
Click on the associated "Info" button under any statement to read why NOT to use that method.
Answering the phone when the caller's number is unfamiliar.Info01Instead of answering, let the call go to voicemail or answering machine. Legitimate callers will usually leave a message.
Pressing a number "to be taken off the list"Info02That works for legitimate telemarketers, but, if you were on the Do Not Call list, legitimate telemarketers would not have called you in the first place. Pressing a number on a call from a telespammer merely confirms you answered the phone and will follow scammer's instructions. That make your number more valuable for even more spammers!
Returning the call.Info03At best, returning a scammer's call merely confirms your phone is "live", and your number will be added to a list that will be used by even more scammers. At worst, the call will cost you additional fees, if it is from a foreign country, such as Jamaica (876 area code). Also, scammers are now spoofing Caller IDs, so the number you see may not really be the number that called you. It might belong to an innocent, third party.
Arguing with the caller:Info04Call center employees have probably heard your argument many times. They may either continue to try to scam you, or they will hang up ... but will also make sure some other scammer calls your number, later.
Blowing a horn or whistle into the phone:Info05Will irritate the scammer. The scammer may then add your number as a "spoofed Caller ID", so others think YOU are calling them, and YOU may hear retaliatory horns or whistles if the irritated called person calls YOU back!
Forwarding the call to a government office.Info06Not too swift. All that does is tie up a line at the govt office, and record YOUR number as the forwarding number! Realize that your congress person knows phone scams are a problem, and also knows the FCC and FTC have been assigned the task of upholding the laws concerning this problem. Instead, you should report the problem via normal channels to the FTC or FCC.
Giving or forwarding the supposed scammer's phone number to other scammers.Info07May not be a good idea. The 1st scammer might have used a spoofed phone number, and, if you give it to other scammers, all you are doing is causing more calls to and problems for an innocent person.
Getting a new phone numberInfo08Eventually, after getting many scam calls, some people think their only recourse is getting a new number. That is not true. The "new number" is probably somebody else's "old number", and will come accompanied with its own baggage (and calls).
What you SHOULD do:
If you are disturbed by frequent calls from scammers / spammers. obtain a call blocker app, device, phone, or service. Google is your friend. Remember, the Do Not Call list is designed to prevent calls from legitimate, registered telemarketers, but scammers / spammers are not legitimate telemarketers, do not register, and they ignore the DNCL or your requests!Remember
The DNC list is NOT a call blocker!
