Been getting calls from various numbers from (209) 406-xxxx for months. I have blocked so many numbers and I get new ones every day. Sometimes I get three per day. There has to be a way to stop this. This is ridiculous.
Is 209-387-5830 a scam?
I get 209 calls throughout the day at the rate of three per hour. Tracy, CA, Merced, CA, Yosemite National Park.
How do u stop them?
209 375 4907 is Medicare Assistance or Assist Val’s that have foreign accented people they even know your name They just want your Medicare Card numbers and Banks numbers.I heard Joe Scaimbait call one and found that they are foreign scammers. SSA scam is stopped temporarily and now are concentrating on Medicare people.Desperate scammers trying everything to get your money.There Dialing for Dollars technique is sick…
Just received this call telling me there has been criminal activity with my ss #foreign accent on the caller, just another scam
That has happened to me a few times. They even told me I needed to go get 2 $100 WU money orders at any 7-11 store and then 2 private investigators would be coming by my place to retrieve them...saying they would just be used to try and 'catch the real perpetrator/s'! HA! Just how stupid do these scam artists think people are anyway? Just thought I'd share..u likely laughed also. Take care.
