Thanks to all of you that posted about this number. The Caller ID said "Florida Call", nothing about "utilities" and they hung up before my answering machine finished. Scammers are criminals that do not care whether you are on the National Do Not Call List of not. They are fishing for the uniformed to answer the phone and dish out personal information or convince them to send a "prepaid card". These scum-bag scammers can enter ANY thing they want to display as the Caller ID and they can also post any phone number. So, 407-830-1565 may be a legit utilities company the scammer is using, knowing people can look up the number to see who it belongs to, thus hoping the next time they call you'll answer. Fraudulent scams garner hundreds of millions of dollars out of poor hardworking naïve people or seniors. They can do this without fear of being caught because there's not enough law enforcement to stop them. Phone companies may be able to stop these calls, but they're making big bucks too when their customers pay extra for Caller ID, call blocking, etc. The more irritated people get by these calls, the more the phone companies rake in. As long as the greed factor is in play, these calls will continue. There's nothing stopping them. They are the predators and we the prey.
