99% of the phone numbers are used once. Its easier and cheaper to
take advantage of the Favorites feature in the phone app. And when
things get hot and heavy during election campaigns, the mute switch is
handy. The strategies that scammers use are constantly evolving. When/if
the powes that be get their heads of that place where there is no
sunshine, we will see change.

A week or two ago, I purchased a device from QVC, called “CPR.” As soon
as I got it I hooked it up to my phone and it is great!! The purpose of
it is to block out and prevent all of the unsolicited calls and scammers
from calling you. The unit comes with a list of 5,000 phone numbers that
are known to be nuisance calls. And if when I answer the phone and find
its one that wasn’t on the list of 5,000, there is a large button to
press and that caller’s number gets added to the list of calls you don’t
want getting through to be a bother.
I think it is a fantastic product and well worth the $50 price.

*Subject:* possible scam purporting to be from Apple
Attention all apple product users..
I recently received a couple of calls on my phone purporting to be from
Apple Care notifying me of a breach of their cloud services. Finding
this a little "phishy", I called apple care directly and discussed this
situation with a customer support rep. He reports that this is a
phishing scam as apple will not, under all but the most dire of
circumstances, call you about such things. They will attempt to notify
by email only or they will require you reset your password credentials
via their apple ID website. If you get one of these calls, report it to
reportph...@apple.com and include any information you can get (such as
caller ID info, time of call, etc).
It appears that the spoofers are getting smarter and using a VOIP line
and caller ID spoofing service to call phones in an attempt to build a
list of active numbers for use in other scams (like IRS, your local
bank, etc.).
anyway, report these calls as you get them.
thanks,
Eric Oyen
