had my phone ring last weekend 3 times same number phone said it was out of st Catherin's. on the last ring I answered and it was a msg. threatening the police something about sin number yada yada. since it came up with a number I hit redial. it went to a voice mail. I left a very angry msg about phone scams, what I thought of them and if you want to arrest me come and get me. there was some yelling and probably at least 2 swear words.
5 min later the phone rings again. same number. I answered with a WHAT! and this voice of an older gentleman answered me. apologized for bother me. said he got a rather angry msg. from me and just wanted to let me know that it wasn't him that was calling. I I double checked the call history and it was the same number I was getting the scam calls from. he said he has gotten a few angry msgs from people but his phone company cant seem to do anything about it. poor guy said he was afraid to answer his phone any more. I apologized profusely. and we talked for a few min. seemed like a really nice guy. lol I felt like shit
just fyi don't know how they are doing it but somehow either faking the call display number or piggy backing off un suspecting victims phones.
