Feel like I am getting 4/5 a day now, usually telling me that my social security has been suspended. Anyone else getting more than usual lately?

I've been on the lamb for so long due to unpaid taxes that I should be in the middle east by now.

I get a lot. I don’t answer my phone unless I know the number/it’s in my contacts. If they’re important they’ll leave a voicemail.

Got one of the SS number being cancelled due to fraud! Turned over to FBI to investigate. If I didn't punch 2 and speak with an agent it would amount to me pleading guilty of fraud~!~!~!

It’s ridiculous the amount of calls we get each day from telemarketers. Why the fuk the govt can’t shut these fukers down ?

I dont answer unless they are in my contacts, or I'm expecting a call. It is very ridiculous. I get more spam calls in one day than I dial out throughout the week. I've also been getting random texts from solicitors.

Eddie Rispone himself texted me last week asking for my support in the upcoming runoff.

This has been going on for years but it is funny how they seem to come in waves. I’ll get a bunch one week then not any for a while then they’ll start up again

I get probably 5 a day. I answer them all. 4 out of 5 don’t ever say anything back...and if they do answer they sound like Manish from Delhi.
