    To Mr. Fernandez: We don't need vulgarities. I think you're just doing that to show off that you know some dirty words. You're not even writing writing within the context of the thread's subject. He, 800notes. com, how about deleting this guy's post?

    It's so incoherent I can't tell if he's mad at the guy for giving info about the scammers or if he's mad because the guy isn't giving more information about the scammers.

    I think Mr. Fernandez is frustrated at the fact that frauds are being brought to light.

    Yes, but the FTC also monitors complaints on BBB websites, not just its own.  I know, they called me for more info about a company I had lodged a complaint about with BBB.  I'm sure it doesn't happen for every BBB complaint, but especially if people's money losses are adding up...so BBB is not a waste of time.

    The BBB tried to strong arm my son to pay to join BBB.  He was threatened with bad ratings if he didn't join.  Maybe the local group is corrupt but my son now thinks this whole organization is corrupt and you just pay for ratings.  BBB's reputation is not what it was before the take over in the 1990s.  Reputation is everything.

    Check the "There is something wrong with your computer" thread.     This is an out-and-out fraud.   Don't give them anything and for God's sake don't give them remote access to your computer.

    Guys, I agree with those who think that crying out to authorities is useless, at least in the forum like that.

    Step in THEIR shoes for a second: this is just business, and the business has nothing to do with ethics or justice or even law obedience, *UNLESS ENFORCED BY GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS*. Business had never (and will never!) care about anything but the bottom line. So we are mainly on our own, but venting and ranting will not help anything.

    But, for those wondering how to stop this nightmare, here's a piece of useful info:

    If you can read this forum, then YES YOU CAN start using Google Voice and this is is the best thing you can do. You can chose your phone number at Google Voice to be your old number (it can be arranged in USA in most cases), and then you are all set. More than that, by doing that you will be able help Google system to identify spamming numbers, so it will be more efficient in blocking these phone calls for everyone!

    Those who consider themselves too technically challenged to set up a Google account, or not willing to deal with Google for some reason (which is quite understandable), here is another solution:

    You can buy yourself a piece of mind and good degree of control (landlines only!) by getting a caller ID filtering device. Available at eBay, there are many different models, cost about $100. Search for something like "caller ID blocker" or similar.
    You plug this box in your landline, key in the patterns (like 1-800-***-****) and all calls from these numbers will get dropped on the first ring.
    If you only use a cell phone, it's time get a smartphone! There are plenty of applications doing the same. DO NOT rely on your carrier's service, they are selling call time and it's not in their business interests to help you.

    YES, YOU CAN protect yourself, if you REALLY WANT to do that.
    Good luck!

    When businesses get out of control, the law must step in and put an end to their deceptive ways. Other than that they are free to do business without ripping or harming their customers or somebody else. I agree with the part that we must take control of our phones. We own our phones, and our lives, not others. Last time I checked, we are living in a free world, not a world controlled by businesses, a monopoly, a dictator or some special interest group.

    Its called a device's MAC address, a physical hard-coded device address that physically allows packets of data to reach its destination. It can be spoofed, but there are ways to uncover the true address and origin of the VOIP data packets. These [***] aren't untouchable, as they would love you all to believe.
