This week’s speciality is spam coming from both East and West coast – The axis of evil runs through the whole country from Tacoma to Delaware and Seattle:

1. 2532468514 from Tacoma with a tellows score of 6
2. 3023573644 from Delaware with a tellows score of 6
3. 4253205012 from Seattle East suburbs with a tellows score of 9

For the number on rank 1 jillybean reported:

Starting receiving calls from this number about 3 days ago. So far, only 1 call per day. No message is ever left.

Whereas Jing L wrote this before:

Claimed to be a home protection company offering to install home security system in your home.

The number on rank 2 is known to us from last week. Unfortunately, since then no new comments were given for this number.

On rank 3, there is a newbie amongst the scammers: payday loan scam.
cassandra did the right thing:

These people said I have a payday Loan out, and that they are calling to collect, They asked if I had a payday loan out when I said no they said they would report this, I told them they can report what they would like and to not call me again!

Remember: Never fall for this! And most important thing: no bank details at the phone!

For Thine is the Silence – The Most Wanted Spam and Scam Numbers of the US of A!

A stitch in time saves nine. A look at tellows in time saves you from nine. Nine? … Starting off with position number 3 of our most wanted numbers of the week, we can see that we have a cold caller from Sparks there with a tellows score of 9. Annoying people with their calls and refusing to remove people’s numbers from their list – that’s the way they work.

Rank two goes to an unknown caller from Colorado/Denver area. We have no further information about the number, only that this number is making ping calls. Only one comment, but the number of search requests (239) gives a hint that there might be more to tell…

On rank 1: A Dalaware number obviously operating worldwide. So far, we received comments from America, Asia and Europe.

1. 3023573644 from Delaware with a tellows score of 6
2. 3015953840 form Colorado/Denver area with a tellows score of 9
3. 7024754857 from Sparks with a tellows score of 9

john reported:

I live in the Netherlands (Europe)
While talking on the phone I received a secondary call from number +13023573644.
When I called the number to know who called me, it went straight to a pre-recorded message from a female voice asking for an authorization code!!?
Very Fishy!!!

Iqbal wrote:

I live in Karachi, Pakistan and I received a call from this number today. When I called back, the voice recording asked for an authorization code.
Seems too fishy, but you never know.

Addi commented:

i received call from that number 26 may, and i was unable to pick that number, Iam from pakistan

We hope to find out more about all numbers, but especially about the one from Colorado/Denver area.

We’re looking forward to reading more of your comments!

Take care!

Let us look at what has changed or not during the past week in the US…

1. 2532468514 from Tacoma / Washington with a tellows score of 6

2. 3233319189 from Los Angeles with a tellows score of 8

3. 2132616494 from Los Angeles with a tellows score of 8

Last week’s number 1 one stayed where it was, whereas number 3 spammer from Los Angeles worked his way up to rank 2.

There is a newbie of the week on rank 3: it is obviously a debt collection company situated in Los Angeles.

A user named Seriously reported us already in April:

Guy on the other end wanted to arrest me this morning. Got no idea where he took my number and address from. hung up on him, never had any debts or whatsoever he was claiming

Wrong person to call wrote the latest comment on the number:

I got a call just like u guys. I am reporting it to every news ch i know of.. please everyone http://www.myfoxla.com/subindex/about_us/contact_us

go here and put it under news idea.this is some bull shiiiit

We say goodbye for this week… and hope the spammers will shut up as well.

Yours,

A Spammer Foreseen Is a Spammer Avoided

We’re back with news of the week’s most wanted, most annoying and most suspicious numbers. Ping calls and debt frauds have been disturbing people’s lives this week.

Here are the US spammers of the week:

1. 2532468514 from Tacoma / Washington with a tellows score of 6

2. 2603993723 from Indiana with a tellows score of 5

3. 2132616494 from Los Angeles with a tellows score of 8

The scammers from Los Angeles probably tried to frighten a user with nickname Seriously. He reported:

Guy on the other end wanted to arrest me this morning. Got no idea where he took my number and address from. hung up on him, never had any debts or whatsoever he was claiming

… Scammers all over the world have been using this tick to get money from people who fell for them. Please remember that no serious company would claim money from you only by calling you on the phone!

Yet, our favourite spammer of the week seems to do ping calls only…

Barb reported:

Called 4 times today and leaves no message. It is very annoying when your at work and your cell phone keeps going off.

Take care, friends and fellows!!! Have a nice and spamless weekend!
