With tax season here I guess it stands to reason threatening sounding robocalls about your taxes will arrive. This voice actually enchanted me. Its stiffness and stilted bits of Engrish might inspire me to call random phones...
Read MoreI never thought of this before, but I have to ask what people are thinking when they agree to be the voice of what is almost certainly a telescam robocall. I don’t know what will happen if I contact this individual, or whoever would answer if I was stupid enough to call 248-814-2110 from a traceable […]
Read MoreIf this is a scam it is pretty convincing. Someone identifying herself as “Mrs. Gardner” says there are important matters we need to discuss concerning supply charges for my Con Edison account. She does not use my name nor does say she is from Con Edison, and the phone number she says I should call […]
Read MoreI think I heard this voice before in an earlier scam call, but they all start to sound the same after a while.
Read MoreI and several others out in the world have been getting strange calls from a number that officially belongs to the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in New York. The number has either been hijacked via spoofing or else something strange is going down at the Consulate’s office. I can’t understand what […]

Read MoreHere is something I’ve intended to assemble for a long time. It’s a selection of some of the random wrong numbers and misdirected calls that have arrived at my old landline phone number, which I transferred to magicJack a number of years ago. There are a number of calls from what sounds like the same […]
Read MoreBrian seems like a nice guy. He went to the trouble of calling Irma to let her know that he was in receipt of her certified mail, and that he would be happy to get it out to her. Unfortunately for Brian there is no Irma here at my MagicJack line, which still keeps alive […]
Read MoreHello, sir. I would like to know I can’t remember how many packs of ketchup you needed. Thanks. Let me know.
Read MoreA hangup call from 646-866-9198 came in just as I was adding 877-790-8062 to my phone’s reject list, this after an unsolicited call from that number came through yet again. I’ve never put a phone number on a reject list if that means I won’t see any evidence that these calls came in then that would be fine. A call back […]
Read MoreGood afternoon. This is Mr. Logan from management offices. This call is for Ms. Cruz. Calling to let you know that we ask that you be very patient. As you know housing is very limited and they will get to you. You are still on our list and as soon as they get to you […]
Read MoreHow stupid is this? The scary part is that people actually fall for these pitiful robocalls and engage the scammers by calling them at the number mentioned in this message. The IRS would never make a call like this, nor would anyone from that agency identify themselves as coming from the “Internal Revenue Services” (plural). […]

I switched to FiOS a couple of weeks ago, finally letting go of Time Warner cable after 20+ years. My main interest was increased upload speeds, a category in which TWC does not even claim more than 20mbps. Now I have what FiOS says is consistent 150mbps up and 150mbps down, a claim which appears […]
Read MoreShort and strange call from a (212) area code number. It sounds like they are speaking non-English but I think I hear something about “call New York City”. At the end it sounds like the caller grumbles “It’s not ringing” but if it’s another language it could be something else.
Read MoreThis sounds like two or maybe three people listening to the radio and talking. I can make out a few words here and there — I think someone is named Cathy — but mostly this strange 8½ minute call to my old land line number is a cacophonous mystery. I called the number back but […]
Read MoreAnother “lower your interest rate” probe call, this one appearing to be from Gainesville, Florida. I called the number using Skype (which sends fake caller ID). Here’s what happened: I dialed 1 but for some reason you don’t hear it on the recording. I hate wasting time with this stuff but when the call is […]
Read More615-469-0355 – New Number For “Financial Stimulus” Robocall Habits can be hard to break but I intend to make a concentrated effort to stop writing phone numbers with parenthesis around the area code. I don’t know if all parts of the U.S.A. have made it necessary to dial the area code when making a call […]
Read MoreRobocall from Alabama area code. I need to look this up again but my understanding is that when a robocall asks you to “Press 1 to hear more” or to “Press 2 to be taken off our *SPECIAL* list” they are essentially throwing out a telephonic fishing lure. If you hit any button then you […]
