833-205-0043, anybody receive a call from this number? The voicemail says it’s from a process server named “mr white” and claims he has been to my house twice to serve me and if he can’t reach me this last time he will “turn it over to the warrants division”??? Sounds so legit but I haven’t done anything wrong

No call received from a 833 area code
I did get a text from an area code 833-212-7581
They were asking about a house listed on my Facebook and sent me a link to the property.
However, I couldn’t open it, as I am not a very active F/B person, so I asked for the street address and have not received a reply.
I am a realtor, so I get text and emails frequently. When I did not get a response with a address I became suspicious.

I received a call from an unknown # (Victor White) referencing me to call 833-765-8839. If I didn't call the number back to pay the debt immediately I would be served documents at my home to appear in court. I called the number 2 times and just received a voice mail from that number that he was out of the office yesterday. I believe now that this is a scam and I called 833 back telling Michael Mosiak (sp?) that I can't wait for Victor White to show up at my home to issue me a summons to appear in court. Thank God my scam alert instinct kicked in!!

(̲8̲3̲3̲)̲ ̲6̲9̲1̲-̲0̲8̲0̲0̲

Received a "Paid" invoice for Windows Defender, says "call (̲8̲3̲3̲)̲ ̲6̲9̲1̲-̲0̲8̲0̲0̲ if questions"
I can see the scammer wants me to call - - but wonder what she'll say to get me to give her my CC #. The em is from 'Billing Support'.
Obvious fraud / scam but I'm interested in what they'll try.
Normally I just quietly tell the person "You don't need to do this. You don't need to steal from people this way. God doesn't want you to steal like this and He has a better plan for you". I then let them talk if they want to. I offer to pray with them. Much better to help one poor scammer escape the lifestyle yes?

Just received a call from 833 saying there was an issue with my amazon account, push 1 for an agent. So I push 1, the guy answers, a crapload of voices in background, heavy east Indian accent, says "this is John, how can I help you?"... to which I reply "I don't know, you called me."

Received a call just now that went to voicemail, but only in the transcription below (ie, no audio):
“Press two if you have received the refund from us already, press three if you do not wish to get the refund from us, press four if you want to be added in DNC list. I repeat this is an emergency call from your computer support company so please do not hang up the call as per our records you have paid for your computer technical support recently and we are calling you today to refund your money back as we are shutting down our business. Press one to get the refund, press two if you have received _⁠_⁠_ refund from us already, press three if you do not wish to get the refund from us, press four if you want to be added in DMC list…”

When I called back, I got a recording in Spanish (I presume because I’m calling while on vacation in Mazatlán). I think the recording essentially said “The party you are calling is busy; please call back later.” Ummm ... yeah, I’ll get right on that ... (NOT).

I've had 4 calls already today from 4 different numbers and because one was from around here so I thought I answered but it was just a recording telling me that my SIN number was being investigated and for me to press one to speak to a police officer or they would be putting out an arrest warrant for me, so I didn't press the button I just hung up the phone. I would like to know how these scammers get their information regarding phone numbers and what can I do about it.
