Scam Alert, Keep calling but everytime different number

[Let's Ride]

Hi Guys, 

 

Starting to become very very frustrated. 

 

I keep getting scam calls to my business landline. 

 

 

Everytime from a different number and often a different person but for the same scam. Becomes frustrating as they start off very nicely and slowly asking is this x person and how are you doing, that takes about 4 minutes because they talk so slowly.

 

Then after a while I realise it's the same scam as they start talking about offshore investments into AMD as on 30 days time Microsoft is said to buy AMD. They don't allow me to say no even if I hang up they call back but from a different number. Everytime I try calling back the number is invalid so I can't track them. 

 

Anybody had the same experience? I tell them I have no money and they will still call me back. Tell them I am in debt review and still call me.

Tell them you have someone who may be interested and give them the number of someone you dislike! Shift the focus.....!

Ah good idea, I'm fairly certain they will continue to call me though. I think they targeting businesses so they know you must have some sort of money available.

I mark on truecaller as scam but because they only use the number once it doesn't really make a difference.

What's more interesting. How do you use a phone number once off? Which service provider does this?

At us they ask for Mr Graham, 4 different numbers so far

Plenty websites offer virtual lines, you can buy them once off or in bulk.

 

I'm really sarcastic from the outset when I get these calls, I milk them for a few mins for laughs to see how stupid they are, then when I finally call them out they know I know and generally don't call back.

I've started to tell them that they have the wrong number, slowly but surely the calls have gotten less frequent wrt call centres.

OK. They shouldn't allow numbers to be used once off. I can see how people must be falling for this. There persistence.

 

They seem to know way to much about me etc etc... Very worrying. Then they say that I must listen and respect them otherwise they will badmouth my business. I'm hopefully sure from the last conversation I had with them that they won't call back.

 

They also say the previous caller was from the marketing department which is seperate so I must hear him out and that they sorry the lady said what she said.
