Gyaos Posted February 26, 2020 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
RainyDayJizz#35 Posted February 26, 2020 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
Sawdamizer Posted February 26, 2020 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
cyberbully Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I usually ask if they are into cakefarts

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.
