Robocalls about Renewing Auto Warranties & Reducing Interest Rates

I have received tons of telemarketing robocalls about “Renewing my Auto Warranty” and “Reducing the Interest on my Credit Card”.

I don’t have and never had a “Auto Warranty” and don’t have a Credit Card… I have ATM’s and Paypal.

I’m on the “Do not call list Registry” so these calls are violating State and Federal Laws.  I find it especially annoying that there is no way to find out who these robo callers are and no way to call them back and demand they stop their harassment because they are using VOIP Caller ID Spoofing… also called “Neighbor Spoofing”.

They use computer generated numbers… which are in your area code… which appear to be local and cannot be called back. If you try calling the number back you get a message saying “Sorry, the number you have reached is not in service”.

I’ve pressed #2 or what-ever they say to press to be removed but the calls continue unabated. So I’ve been gathering evidence to send to my State’s Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission & FTC.

Here’s a few of the call’s I’ve received with screen captures of the fake numbers they used and actual recordings…

Making telemarketing phone calls to people on the Do No Call list without their prior consent is prohibited. The people who are calling me and others without our permission are CLEARLY violating Do No Call laws with impunity. It would seem making unsolicited calls using fake numbers to disguise their identity so they can violate Do No Call laws with impunity, would be a Felony Offense.

Per Federal Laws: “Falsifying Caller ID: It is possible for callers to disguise their identity by falsifying the telephone number that appears on the recipient’s caller ID. This is called “caller ID spoofing” and was made illegal by the Truth in Caller ID Act, which prohibits the transmitting of misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. Violators are subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 per violation. If you suspect that caller ID information has been falsified, you can file a complaint with the FCC“.

Law Enforcement is not doing enough to put a stop to this flagrant abuse

As I have stated in my legal disclaimer, I’m not a professional writer or professional investigator, therefore text on this page is to be taken only as my opinion. I’m an average Joe with over 20 years of Internet experience (web hosting, designing websites, etc) who reports consumer abuse to the proper authorities so they can determine what, if any action should be taken.

 

BEWARE: SCAM ROBOCALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

There’s a new twist to Robocalls in which they call you and hope you call them back so they can charge you hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars. So don’t call them back unless you have a skype account. I subscribe to skpe and it only cost $2.99 a month so I can anonymously call back potential scammers without fear of them getting my phone number or getting charged for a scam call.

When you make a outgoing call using skype, it uses a bank of “generic” phone numbers owned by microsoft / skype, so the number which shows up in their caller ID is a number THEY can’t call you back on.

If you are being harassed with these type of calls, you MUST keep accurate records of the time & date of calls your receiving in which the caller is using fake numbers which cannot be called back. I’d advise making screen shots like I did above if your using a smart phone. If possible, make a recording of you telling them to stop calling you.
