Disturbing Voice Mail

August 02, 2018, 10:36 AM

I'm starting to get voicemails from NYC and the woman is speaking Chinese. At least I think it's Chinese?

Call them back (from another number), tell them you're willing to cooperate and show them where she hid the bodies, in exchange for immunity for yourself.

I have a friend who is a senior criminal investigator at IRS. They called him on his work phone. He had a blast with them.

These calls were much more fun when actual people called, not just a recording giving you another number.
I could keep them on the phone for a while.

Where did you find that?

Mom said it was all a misunderstanding, it would never come out, and if it did get out after her death, she would never vote Democrat again.

Jeez, that’s her. I’m almost certain!

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I had a couple weeks of that same '4 felonies' call from NYS a few months ago. It seemed to be in tandem with another call from close city in NYS with related alarms about untrue crimes and general threats.

I actually called local police, who referred me to a state agency who referred me to some federal call ID complaint center.

Of course nothing came of the complaint.

Yes we're on the 'no call list'. Of course that works so well you call hear singing of praise of effectiveness from around the country.

Tell them you're wearing an ankle monitor and not allowed to leave the halfway house without your parole officers authorization, so sorry but can't go get the cards at Walmart.

Call them back and say your from Windows , and you noticed they had a virus on their computer, and for a fee you can remove it for them.

This is so pervasive that Best Buy has had to erect warning signs on their gift card display.

Just a modernized re-hash of the Spanish Prisoner scam. Going since the maybe the 1300's. My grandfather received the mail equivalent in '52.

It is a scam, and the scammers are probably located somewhere that makes it almost impossible to effectively investigate them, much less prosecute them.

If you want justice, you are going to have to go all Charles Bronson on them.

I got a succession of 3 of these calls this morning at 8:25, 9:05, and 10:10am from 302-202-5576.

My rage at spammers especially these phone asshats knows no bounds. I feel they purposely target seniors for enhanced attacks.

I would love to warm the barrels of my firearms with them in my sights! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

...and yes I employ my android phone's built in blocker to block / silence for any callers or text messagers not in my address book. That still doesn't prevent voice mails sadly though.

Addendum: now again at 11:47am. DAMN!

You will be happy to pay, but as you can not yet access the rightful inheritance you have as a Nigerian Prince, if they can send $5000 to expedite your valid claim you will pay them back triple, and cover the costs for those heinous crimes

Can’t we get a little justice here? Must I wait until I’m invited to a Sicilian’s daughters wedding for justice?

Well if you know anyone from your old Navy days...maybe one of them can arrange to nuke Nigeria from space?

Can you post the originating phone #?

(Something tells me the area code is 631, but there's no reason why it should be).

I use NomoRobo on my cell phone every time I receive one of these calls, if it isn't already in their blacklisted file, I add it.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Been getting the ones from different towns in NY for weeks. Yesterday got five of them but the last one was from Delaware. My criminal enterprise must be expanding.

I received a similar call this morning. It seems my family and I have committed numerous serious frauds and the US government has issued arrest warrants for us. All I have to do is call 347-609-5265 to take care of the problem. What a great country; no court or pesky attorneys- just a simple phone call to solve my issue.
