I have had repeated calls threatening my subsequent arrest from 360-203-1825 for days now. This one is particularly insidious. I don't answer any call that I either don't recognize the number or the caller ID. These scammers actually left a voicemail but it is so distorted that you can barely understand what they are saying. Because I have actually gotten this voicemail previously, I recognized the call and could still make out "taken into custody" "police" etc. The only part you could clearly hear was the phone number they give at the end of the message that they want you to call, the same number that appears on my caller ID. What makes this so dangerous is that I bet plenty of unsuspecting recipients of this call would assume it was just a distorted legitimate voicemail and call back the scammer because they couldn't understand what they said. That can be as bad as answering the call. I rarely even bother reporting robo calls anymore because there are so many. But this one is really so bad that I filed my complaint with the DONOTCALL registry for what that is worth. I am surprised that they are still using the same number because usually these type of scammers don't, but I thought I would warn others of this and remind everyone not to call back anyone who you don't know, especially if they leave a distorted voicemail.
I'm getting these calls on my cellphone now but I have gotten them on my home phone before. I've saved the voicemail hoping the DONOTCALL people actually might be interested.
