FAKE NUMBER IN CALLER ID.  This number is the fax number for a carpet store in Ft. Myers FL.

Lately, I have been getting random calls from random numbers.  Just now, I received a call from 239-463-8759.  I said "Hello" 3 times before being hung up on.  According to the Caller ID:  it shows "Fort Myers, Florida".  According to Google, it is the number for Klare's.

If they like to spend their money on calling me then they can keep calling. Because my answering machine picks up on the second ring which means that they get charged. For the call everytime. They call me. So good luck and spending your money.

This phone number, 239-463-8759 belongs to a small carpet business in Fort Myers, Florida. It is not realistic that this carpet business is randomly calling people in or outside of Fort Myers. The BBB recently published information advising of a scam in which the telemarketers or scammers are using (spoofing) the numbers of regular people, specifically targeting small businesses. This is likely what is happening in this case. In the past 6 months there have been increased reports of many people receiving calls from florists, family business in tampa, florida, very elderly men and women, child day care providers, etc. When some of the posters have picked up the phone, the caller claimed to be debt collector, sales rep for solar energy, Fl state troopers, FL firefighters, etc. BBB says never trust what is in your caller id anymore. The scammers are using the phone numbers of regular people hoping to trick people into picking up the phones. I feel badly for the people whose phone numbers are being spoofed. People just can't think of enough ways to act in a corrupt manner.

Wow, the levels the telemarketers have sunk down to these days. I bet for a while they hated called id. I bet some would go days without getting someone to answer the phone.
