I saw I got a call from a 225 number recently that I found out was a scam number after I looked it up on google. Those fricks don't even have the decency to call you from Jamaica anymore. They'll call you from your backyard now.

The best thing about the iphone is how easy it is to block numbers so that helps.

Rachael from Card Services called me from my own number once.

Just today she called from Bush, La. I had to look it up.

Got the IRS Scam call yesterday from some POS who probably rode his camel to work.After I wasted about 30 mins of his time playing along with his scam, I told him the jig was up and to get a real job instead of scamming Americans out of their hard earned money! He then replied that I was a MF'er and told me that America sucks and that's why they flew planes into our WTC. I have now called his number back so many times that they have blocked me but the first few times I called back I asked Allah Snackbar to hold while I went to retrieve my credit card and I played Lee Greenwoods God Bless the USA for hold music until they finally hung up. I HATE SCAMMERS!

Asswipes called me three times within 45 minutes today and woke me up from my nap. Same area code and first 3 digits of my number. I never answer and just block them on my iPhone.

I have fun with them. They want to sell me car insurance and a warranty? Great! I tell them i can;t wait to have them insure my flying car...click, they hang up

They want to refinance my mortgage (dont have one, lol), I tell them I would love to but the property is considered a crime scene due to the multiple bodies found on the place so its in limbo....click

They want to reduce my credit card debt ( again i have none), I get into role-playing and find everything they say as a sexy innuendo and tell them what I would like to do to them (once my sex assignment surgery is complete)....click

Or I just plain act stupid and act like i am glad they called, tell them about my 34 cats and ask them if they will call me everyday cuz Ilive talking to them. Even ask them for their home number.... click

The IRS has threatened to have local authorities arrest me twice this week. The funny thing is even the automated computer on the message sounds like English is it’s second language

They are spoofing phone numbers. My wife’s number got spoofed a few days ago and her phone blew up with texts “who dis” etc. She had to record a new voicemail and just turn her phone off for a day.

Post their phone numbers here so that we can call them and harass the shite out of them...give them a dose of their own medicine. I've only had a few call me but I will call them back and screw with them relentlessly.

If you have time tell them you can’t wait to buy from them And that this must be your lucky day and thank God they called! Go through the whole process then at the last second say “someone’s at the door. Gotta go

If it's a live person calling I just start speaking Russian real loud. They hang up pretty quick usually.

Definitely Canadian.

You get somebody who speaks the King's English and he's from Nigeria or Kenya or Indonesia.
