I received a call at 2:39pm today and asked if they were speaking to me (using my name) and I said "yes" and they hung up. I know better than to do this but I was sure it was my dentist's office returning my call. (it was the same area code that the call came from) I know there are scams using your voice once they have recorded an affirmative response and am quite concerned so I am reporting this to you now.

I hope this will help me should I encountered problems due to this call.

Thank you.

This person sent me text message with their phone number asking me about a bike I have for sale. I don't have a bike for sale I n my craigslist account. Someone possibly sent my phone number as point of contact that I'm unaware of which in my case would be very unusual without me knowing this. This is the second person sending me a inquiry about a bike for sale. This last entity that sent me this said they would send me a money order or cashiers check on Monday and someone would be by to pic it up. I told them "NO" ... they continued with asking me to provide them with my name address and phone number ect for them in order to send me this check. I told them (this all via text to the number they provided me)... I don't do business with anyone only in person. Also that I didn't have a bike for sale. Although I have been thinking of putting my bike on Craigslist to sell. I thought this was all so strange. Likr was some one reading my mind. But luckily I have had someone try to scam me quite a few times now. I'm going to start reporting them all. I don't do business unless I'm face to face with buyer and I have company everytime. I hope you catch these people and these people just so happen to admit to themselves and me that they are scammers. The second to the last messages I sent was "[censored]" and they replied "your father" ...... the last massage I sent was "you'll have to answer to the lord above when your time comes for what you're trying to do to people, scamming this way, you'll see" .... they didn't reply to that..... and I wasn't thinking but I erased the messages. Now wish I hadn't but at least I wrote down their email address and phone number. I hope you all catch um. All I think about is the not so fortunate out there that are naive to all this as I once was. God bless you this holiday season.

I have no idea what this call is about. I receive calls from the same area code and prefix, but the last 4 digits change. I block the number every time, but they call back with the last 4 digits different. It says "select 1" to talk to customer service, 2 to put on do-not-call list. I have tried both numbers, but I never talk to anyone and they keep calling back.

The calls started 2 months ago. A recorded voice with the name of Melody, very young, informed me I needed to call back within 3 days to have my college loan forgiven. After I blocked the first call, the number changed many times. In this month of Nov. 2017, it is now my area code with over 50 calls with the same message from a man. This man sounds live, he sounds impatient with me that I won't return calls. In Sept., I had from the call date to the 30th of Sept. to "take advantage of this govt. program". Same voice mostly, varying to an African-American woman. I have blocked over 50 numbers. No money lost. Sometimes they hang up on me if I answer and tell them that whatever the name of the loan holder, it isn't my govt. loan's name.

Not sure what if anything you can do about this, but someone has stolen my personal cell phone number and they're using it for scamming. I have received multiple calls of strangers claiming they received a call from my number even though I have not made any calls and there is nothing on my outgoing phone logs. I don't know how to stop/report this or what can be done to stop this person from using my number, especially if they are able to succeed at gathering someone else's personal information and then when that victim figures out it was fake, they're going to be calling ME back since it's my phone number that the scammer stole and used. I do not want to change my personal phone number as I've had this number for decades and it is used for both personal and work and I would have to update an entire healthcare institution and all contacts I know of a new number, also there is nothing from stopping the scammer from stealing my new phone number if I switch to a new number so I really hope something can be done to stop this and catch the criminal without me having to change numbers.

Get you to say yes so they can charge you a bill. Not sure what they will get from me.

I received calls from this number about a discount on my Washington Gas bill. They ask for your account number. They know all of your pertinent public information, which gives the appearance of legitimacy. However, they are scammers.

The scammer called from my home state area code (804) and left a message stating that they were my brother who I just had attempted to call. When I returned the call a woman answered, and I asked to speak to my brother. The caller stated, "This is your sister". I stated to the caller that I did not have a sister and added that she had 10 seconds to identify herself. She asked, "What are you going to do hang up?" I said, "Yes" and the scammer hung up immediately.

Caller claims to be from US dept of grants and wants a $1000 doller western union sent to claim $9000. Caller sounded Arabic so the caller Id may be faked.

A recorded message was left stating that "The IRS is filling a legal warrant under my name for tax fraud. The IRS has been trying to contact me for the last 6 months and that an international fraud lawsuit has been filed against me" I did not return that call as instructed because it was an obvious scam.

I just had a phone call asking me "Is this Bob". I replied yes and they said "Thanks, I am just confirming your phone number " and hung up. Something doesn't sound right. I googled scams and it appears that all they want is me to say "yes" and then use that recording to have phoney invoices sent to me.

Received an account Alert from Sprint that my address or E-mail address had been changed. Contacted Sprint on line and discovered my original plan was changed and five additional phone lines had been added. Contacted Sprint by phone and reported the fraud of services. Each I phone was also given additional insurance charges, taxes and fees. The five phones have been recording phone calls and charges. My total new monthly bill for November was 448.33 dollars and not 47 dollars. My first contact with Sprint's Fraud division was on November 8, 2017.

Stated the interest rate on my credit card is going to expire unless I provide financial and personal information.

I asked which credit card company he was representing. He responded “I’m calling about your existing credit card”. I asked again and he hung up the phone.
