I get crap calls like that all the time looking for a "Ralph Lake"

Does my car warranty call count as a scam? cause I get those daily.

They hit my cell phone 5-10 times a day.

Yep, then they just spoof up more numbers.

They are spiffy spoofers.
The other thing you can do is ask them to hold on a second and just put the phone down. One less flunkie to scam someone else for a few minutes.

I'm betting its a tellermarking factory overseas.

Blocking Anonymous Calls on a Landline. Dial *77 on your phone at the dial tone. This will activate anonymous call blocking on a landline telephone. Note that this service is only available if you have Caller ID.

Enter *67 and then the number you want to block from seeing your caller ID info. Other ways to stop nuisance calls: Add your number to the free National Do Not CallRegistry by calling 888.382. 1222 or going to www.donotcall.gov.

I keep receiving calls stating this is Amazon, there was an attempt to charge 700ish $$$ from somewhere in Ohio. I know its not legit, the caller ID shows call originated in Cartersville ga, my home town. They don't give up, 3 times today already. Is there someway to stop this? I know, hopeless cause stopping spammers.

Also, let's keep each other informed on scams by listing the type of scams you have received. My home phone and cell have been blown up the last few days. I block the numbers, but they spoof up another right away.

I emailed Amazon about this, but I doubt I'll hear anything useful back.
