Yeah, this has been going on for quite a while.
You may want to make your thread title a bit clearer, too.

If it isn't on my contact list, or otherwise somebody I'm expecting, it doesn't get answered. Or was that your voice mail?

Guess if those shit heads get just ONE fool to give up their number it would pay for. . . . .

Hmmn. I've been get 1-3 1-800 calls per hour since this morning from spoofed SSA scam robocalls. Different spoofed number every time. How can that not be strictly illegal?

It IS illegal -- pisser is, just can't stop them -- our national do not call register is broke (otherwise it WOULD work).

The odd English phrasing in the Soc Sec robo calls, saying things like "to further the investigation" is very similar to how people in India use English. Not sure if that's where the scam is coming but it it's possible I guess.

Find the originating position of the call and send in the drone.

Kindly, no one from our government uses that word. Sounds like Nigerian English to me.

And that "Judiciary Department" sounds legit, too.

I'll take a WAG that it might take 100 or 200 such calls, often being verbally abused or otherwise messed with, before hooking a fish. Too bad they don't put this perseverance to actual work.

I got the calls 6 times the other day. I answered one and it was a robo call. Said SS compromised, press 1 to speak with someone. I hit 1 and the call disconnected. I have not got a call since. Makes me a little worried that no one has called back since they have a live one on the line.
