Caller didn't leave a message on my machine and the caller id said "Chamberlin Fran" which probably means telemarketer/scammer since I don't know anyone by that name. So I ran 3 reverse traces using 3 different types of traces and all came back with a Frank Chamberlin of Hawaiian Gardens, California using the service provider of Verizon California Inc.-CA (GTE) which is becoming a favorite for scammers. This is probably a scammer that is either spoofing numbers and/or using a VoIP System to phish for personal information while running some scam. By using a real identity and spoofing their number these scammers are trying to by pass call blockers. This is just another technique for scammers to target the elderly alive or dead. DON'T ANSWER AND DO NOT CALL BACK FOR ANY REASON. Block and report to the proper authorities. Phone companies should be held responsible for these types of calls since they are making money from them by providing the systems and services that these scammers use and possibly farming out numbers too.
