Recent articles at better business bureau, scam busters dot org and the fiscal times dot come state that there are 2 new scams being used these days. The first scam is for telemarketers and scammers to use (spoof) the phone numbers of regular people, particularly local businesses. Phone numbers of the elderly are also being used (spoofed). The objective of the scammers, per the articles, is for the householder to pick up the phone when they see phone numbers in the caller ID that would not be likely to be spoofed and/or are not on the compiled lists of spoofed numbers that are available on line. That could certainly explain why we and many other people are getting dozens of calls from local florists, businesses in Tampa, Florida, Child Care Centers and sadly, some elderly people, one of whom lives in a mobile home park. The other scam is to spoof the householder's own phone number. Again, the objective is for the householder to be in such disbelief and/or curious that his/her own phone number would show up in his/her own caller ID, that the householder will pick up the phone just to figure out what is going on. BBB warns against this. Also if you miss the call, BBB advises not to call the number (your number in the caller ID) back. Also if you get a recording or a person advising you to press certain buttons in response to questions, etc..........BBB says do not do it. All of this information is avail at BBB (article originated in central east texas ), the fiscal times and scam busters.

don't know who this is but in the "why call me" website, a poster stated that the caller is a representative from Nigeria who needs help securing an account. He helped her to wire funds to his bank, etc etc.

received several calls from this number. cid says unavailable. no messages left. somewhere in the fort myers, naples, fl area. In the past 6 months, we have been getting many different calls from the 239 area code. All of the calls have turned out to be scams.
