"Duane Schuck" called my landline.  I never answer calls from names or numbers I don't recognize, but my husband picked it up.  He said "hello" and waited several seconds, but never got a response so hung up.  I've had calls from these "windows" people before, which is part of the reason I don't answer any more.  Sadly, it is impossible to have these people stopped, so our best recourse is to either not answer, or just hang up.  We are NOT obligated to talk to anyone who calls our home.

Agree whole-heartedly with you - my name and phone were spoofed and I have received several calls from myself.  If that was not so ridiculous it would be funny, but it's not because others think I made those calls which I did not.

Called saying his name was David but caller ID said  Duane Schuck. I asked who duane schuck was they guy said this is david. So i asked again  who duane schuck was he said his father. I hung up and they called back three more times but with the number blocked

Been getting tons of robo calls on my cell phone lately, so I was a little surprised when my landline phone rang this evening. I checked caller ID, saw the name Duane Schuck, and that it was long distance, so I didn't answer and immediately checked this website as I do with ALL unknown numbers. Saw it was a scammer. Thanks everyone for reporting these creeps!
