I have been getting a lot of these on my cell phone lately. The good news is, it is so easy to block a caller on your cell phone after they call. Do these marketing scams really even work? Who would really return a phone call where a stranger tells you that you can earn $2500 per week??? SMH

I have been getting a lot of calls on my cell number from bogus numbers that contains a recorded message in Spanish. If you try to call the number back immediately it doesn't exist. They are spoofing numbers somehow.

That's easy to do, its just a VOIP number where they have put the setting on the phone number to not receive any calls and they are calling you through an automated dialer. You can put in a complaint for it and the company which provides the numbers can cancel the number, but it takes time to go through the process and the caller has plenty of other numbers to use so it doesn't do much good.

Meh, not worth the time or hassle. I just don't answer it and then I delete the voice mail afterwards.
