I find it so sad that so many people fall for this type of thing.

@Krimpette, I didn't answer the call. They left a message.

I just got a call from a lady who said she was the Treasurer with the Northwest Genetical Progress Club and they have accounts with me. They need to know where to send the checks.
Now, if I have accounts with them, wouldn't they know where to send the checks? Also, she's calling from a 904 Area Code. That's the Jacksonville FL area which is really not northwest of much of anything.
Spammers spoof phone numbers.
@Nonametoday If she was Spoofing the number, she knew who she was Spoofing because she identified herself with the name of the person that came up on my Caller ID.

@Krimpette. Isnt it funny how nobody leaves a message? In fact, most hang up after the third ring so they don't have to listen to your machine.
@Icegoddess. This must be your lucky month.

No disrespect intended toward anybody here, but I kind of see this situation like the 'if everybody wore a mask things would get a lot better a lot sooner'.
The tie-in is that if EVERYBODY stopped answering these calls they would stop being lucrative and, thereby, go away.

I put the button "on" in my settings (iphone) to silence calls that are not in my contact list. Sure helps! No more annoying ringing and no messages, lol!

Hi all,
I have an AT&T landline phone. Not sure where manual is, but would like to turn off ringer. Is it the button that says MUTE?
Thanks any and all for your help. Husband is on Medicare and we are being driven crazy by constant ringing. Even if we don't answer, the racket is very stressful.

@Seannie Mute normally is used when you're using the phone in speaker phone mode so you can have an off-line conversation but the person on the other end can't hear you. On older phones the ringer off switch was on the back of the phone. I don't see one on my current phone.
