Gyaos Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The last three phone calls came from numbers that I don't recognize. They have been pretty unusual. I'll get a man or woman asking over the phone "Hello," and they proceed to use my last name. "Hello, Mr. ____." I respond with "Yeah, who is this?" There's blank silence and I hear a "click," which lets me know they hung up. It happened once at 11:13 AM, again at 1:06 PM, and finally at 9:24 PM. Not sure if this is just the phone lines being shitty in the new neighborhood, or if I'm being sought out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDayJizz#35 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Usually this is how robocalls find viable phone numbers. I actually read a whole thing about this a week ago, and luckily I finally figured out how to delete a text before opening it to prevent a read message being sent to the number. My robocalls have dropped significantly since that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdamizer Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If it's on your cell phone, the call would end automatically when the caller hung up... right? Maybe it was a robocall, then xfer to the fraudster? If you google the number, you usually get some info of other people getting the calls and likeliness of a scam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they all lead to places in New York and California. I don't know why I believed it could have possibly been something more sinister. Just thought it was odd that someone actually referred to me by my last name. Also, I typically get phone calls before work and not past 7:00 PM. If the latter happens, it's usually someone I know.
