One of the strategies is to spoof local numbers. I rarely see
numbers anymore that are out of the area.

use the same number twice.
The crazy thing is, they have the impression, that they can dial the
number that has the same 3 digits as mine, and I’ll just answer it, but
that just happens to only be my cell phone number, and I don’t know
anyone else with a number like that, so no dice for them.
Ironicly though, one of them actually did leave a message telling me
he didn’t know why I called his business wanting to talk to his staff
and told me to call him back, actually thinking I would.

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
<mailto: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
