Just a sampling from last week. Every single one of these is the same scam. I had another seven yesterday.
I never answer and they always leave the same prerecorded voicemail message (although that message seems to change every few days) about me owing taxes, which I absolutely don’t.
I also get most of them within an hour, which makes it even more annoying.
And yes, I’m on the do not call list.
Someone please make it stop!
It’s likely a robocaller, in which case, send them to a recording of the SIT intercept tone.
This thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IC_SIT.oggIt needs to be the first thing the machine hears, so might not work as a voicemail welcome message if your provider has their intro before your message.
It might take a few calls/days before you’re purged from their multiple instances of robocallers.
That’s cool. Thanks!
Does anyone answer if you call back?
I love fucking with the actual scammers. Last time I actually paid for an eFax subscription and kept spamming them back with fax calls.
It took a day or two but they stopped calling.
I’d be worried about trying because they’d think I was doing it because I missed their call and would be a good mark.
That’s when you’ve got them on the hook. Then you string them along until they finally realize that you’ve been messing with them the entire time and start angrily cursing you over the phone.
I make it my personal mission to waste as much of those shitbags time as possible.
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service!

Any chance you have a frienemy that is doing shenanigans?
If so, it’s a long-term frienemy if they know my phone number.
