A call purporting to originate from this number was received today -- surprising since it is the first one since Sept. 10 from this particular number. As was the case previously, When the call rolled to voice mail, the caller left no message. This behavior is characteristic of robocallers using automated dialers to contact phone numbers in numerical sequence. If a real person answers, the automated dialer transfers the call (after a few seconds delay) to a live telemarketer to start the sales or charity pitch. Both for-profit and non-profit telemarketers can be equal opportunity scammers.
These scammers love using prefixes such as 311, 411, 511, 711, 811, and 911 when sppofing phone numbers. I've received robocalls from all of them. DON'T BECOME THEIR NEXT VICTIM. DON'T ANSWER THEIR CALLS.
