Normally I don't reach out in our group outside of anything parrot related but I am desperate enough to today.
For the past two weeks I have been getting a lot of scammers calling my home phone. They are even calling on weekends. I get calls from Washington state about my computer OS needs upgrading, from Illinois of a relative that does not exist that needs money sent to them asap, freeipad.com wants to give me a free ipad, and various others that have seemed to have gotten my number from some source.
This is driving me crazy because they are calling my home 5 to 6 times a day. I would not even answer the phone but I am in process of finding a internship/job and need to be able to answer my phone. While in my office the phone does not have caller ID. My downstairs phone has it so if I don't recognize the number as local I don't bother to answer. It is still the bother that my phone seem to be ringing off the hook with this annoying scam calls.
First I don't know how my number got sucked into this trap. I don't click any odd adds on any site and I am on the "do not call" list thing for sale calls. I don't fill out any forms on line or at all. This annoying calling starts early morning and sometimes goes until into the evening. I want this to stop but don't know what I can do. Anyone else out there ever have this problem and how do I get this to stop. I am near calling the phone company to get rid of the line. This is how much a annoyance this is.
