Harassing Phone Calls: What To Do

I swear Comcast sells customer numbers to telemarketers. I signed up for a bundle that included telephone service a few years ago, and the SAME day the service was installed, I received a telemarketing call from someone who asked for me BY NAME. So, the only way to stop it was to pay to have my number unlisted. They recently stopped charging for that "non-service".

Trying to get ahold of you.  Very concerned about both of you.  Been trying to talk to you for several months.  Please respond.

So what doeas a person do if 95% of harrasing calls received  are a google voice/ burner number? I contacted private detectives who claim they cannot access owner information, they also state that  law enforcement is also unable  to access owner info. Also, is it illegal, and how much/what type of evidence is needed to motivate an arrest (if possible) when a former spouse uses your name to get burner numbers? Is it even possible to ever know the extent of damage done? When that same [***] uses your name to acquire email addresses and uses those email addresses to open various social  accounts which, by the time i locate the account, its been shut down by admins or moderators and all that remains is a link to usage agreements and specifically  the section listing offensive items that initiate immediate closure if an account. Im no detective but I have found 2 closed by this scenario. I have personally located approximately 4+ dozen burner numbers and even female personas. I spent 20+ years with a "man" who claimed he didn't know how to operate a didn't know how to operate a cell phone...any tips on how i can discover the real reason he has created so many different personas and even conjured up entire families? What types of crime are most common with such strange online behaviors?

Tell him to stop by your house and pick up the cash, and have a policeman in the house waiting. I told a IRS investigator, Not a real one, just a scammer who wanted a cash card mailed to a PO Box.
told him I was Medically house bound but I had cash. You know, I cot no more calls from this scammer and he never showed up.

I get 20 to 30 SCAM calls a day , messages, email , voicemail ,,,, I no longer answer the Phone or believe what I am told , SCAMMERS have and are now making my life a living HELL

Dear Red,
I believe you do have Rights ~ don't be an enabler to encourage Scammers - do Your Part - report them to the FTC, FCC, etc....

Then like Big Al suggested use "call blocker" Marky Mark and the funky bunch "Good Vibrations"

i got a  call from 9417208772 number his name is Christopher Crespo he says he is from advance america a loan company but he is scam artist he is scamming people every day

That is my thought, exactly. I have also received MANY friend request on Facebook from people & places I can't pronounce or even know what nor where the are. I feel so unsafe these days.

Just ignore the sucker!  It's a scam, and they think YOU ARE THE SUCKER who'll pay up.  IF by chance you owe money to Wells Fargo, you should be getting payment requests from them.  Deal with it accordingly.  Otherwise, ignore the calls, and live your life!  I'm so paranoid these days that I don't even bother to answer calls from a phone number I don't recognize.  That cuts down on a lot of anxiety - especially if they don't even bother to leave a message.  Later, I'll go back and delete or block the unrecognized numbers accordingly.

Hey, Red!  I can co-sign on scammers making life a living HELL.  It sounds like you did the right thing.  I stopped answering calls, messages, emails, etc. a long time ago - from unknown numbers & folks.  My stress level has dropped tremendously!

Do not call registry not working since I get calls all even though my numbers are  there.  scammers bypass it.

User ID is good to have. Best Is do not answer unknown caller.
document calls and incoming #. read the advice in this article to help. Best advice do not answer unknown callers. Block the call if possible.  Cell phones have caller ID.   set ring tone for your contact list you know. set ringtone for unknown callers. if it will let you. google to get how to info.
Do not let the scammer get the upper hand and drive you crazy. Be smarter then they are. Stay safe
and smarter.
George
