Text to speech automated recording calling about IRS problems and that I need to call them back at the number on the callerID but didn't say the number.
Hi, it's Scott from PCF, I have $1,350,540 payback $1,620,540. Please confirm your email and I will send the documents needed to get this funded.
I run a neighborhood Facebook group. We have post approval turned on to prevent spammers from posting. Facebook is allowing posts to get by our post approval process. This number was posted as the contact number for a HVAC duct cleaning service. This is not legitimate, most of our spam posts are for "duct cleaning services" or tee shirts for sale. I have reported the issue to Facebook but it appears they have done nothing about it. Be aware!
I do not know any of the people associated with this number, so I know it's not a legit call, but they keep calling (since 9/14, usually in the afternoon and even after I blocked this number) and they never leave a voicemail. Lookups for 270-926-7753 showed that this number is associated with a lanedline in Owensboro, KY and Bellsouth Communications as the carrier. A scammer could be spoofing this number.

Robot call from this number three days in a row on my 92 year old mother's phone. She didn't understand what the recording even said so handed me the phone today. I searched and saw where they have been calling her so I just blocked the number.
Said they were from a collections agent company named Pinnacle. They had 2 other numbers (800-250-6414 and 888-425-7835) go out of service within 3 weeks of each other. They said I was in breach of contract on a debt, and called with intimidation tactics. They also did not know my mailing address. Two names I got in connection were Larry Thomas, and Nicole B. Now the calls are coming from SC and I live on the other side of the country.
Caller stated that they are obtaining an order to come to my place of work or my home. She said there was a civil suit against me, and I have the option to settle out of court or have my case dismissed out of court if I call 877-242-1415. She gave me a reference case number 667263cr-9766. They have left 2 messages by voicemail already, which I am not deleting until I find out who this is. They are using a SC phone number to call from - I do not live anywhere near South Carolina, nor have I ever been to South Carolina

Call is from Jamaica. Caller is a foreigner and claims to be from Publishers Clearing House with a check for 1.8 million or so. Was not happy when I didn't believe that it was legitimate. They could at least use someone who sounds American when they call. This is the 3rd call in 3 days saying I had won millions.

Basel claiming himself as Canada's immigration attorney. The license number he provided was fake even he has his own website to verify his authenticity. That website is a clone of actual Canada's immigration website. First he hesitated to provide me his office address and then to talk over phone call. He only reply via WhatsApp.
When i asked him to provide me his bank account, he sent me a bank account of a village in Pakistan. He further said Canada's embassy has a bank account in a small town and not in the metropolitan cities of the same country and that account was an individual account.

I assume the situation I’ve desvribed in my previous comment was some type of scam, maybe voice stealing? Not sure but creeped out.
Harrassment. 6 calls from two different numbers (this being one). The caller ID on this one was Kawartha Lakes Ontario and the first one she called from was a Kitchener number. Both same voice which was suspicious as the phone calls came in within minutes of each other and those two places are not close to each other by any means. With the Kitchener number she said I had called her but I hadn’t called anyone at all today so I told her that and hung up. She called me back told me I saw rude for hanging up so I did it again and blocked that number. Then she started calling from this Kawartha Lakes number and apparently “knows” my name but she got the last name slightly wrong. It was shockingly close though. Pretty scary.

When answered they said they could get my business on the front page of google! And if I pressed 1 I would start to get call from local businesses to give me special offers?! Strange. I called it back and the accent/recording was different on the message. Pressed 2 to remove me from their list! We'll see how well that works...

Total Scam!
