I waited for the telemarketer to come on and told him politely to remove me from his call list as I am on the nation wide do not call list.

he replied with "Whatever"

I then requested to speak with his manager and he told me he IS the manager and then became very rude to me.

Take a close look at the number ..... 545-5455. How likely is it than anyone could be so lucky as to get an easy number like that? Most unlikely!

We used to get spoofed numbers that were so obvious that no one would pick up unless totally at sea. These were typically 111-111-1111. Of course, these criminals pay attention to what we say and what appears on police sites and media. Once they figured out that the scam was up, they started spoofing numbers that looked more real. The cretins still don't have though, do they? The last call I got like this (a few days ago) was 359-3559 (also unlikely).

Bottom line here is if they are spoofing, they are up to no good. Treat accordingly.

P.S. to any scammers who are reading this, the offer of a free lobotomy still stands. Come one come all.
