Unusual phone call. Is anyone else getting these?

[Sucka Fish]

The last couple of weeks my girlfriend and I have gotten several calls on our cell phones that are a bit unusual. They are recorded and in Spanish. Has anyone else gotten any of these? Does anyone know their orgin? Not sure if its a scam, or a subliminal message thats trying to get me to commit some heinous crime. Ok, I'm kidding about that last part. Any idea? Oh yeah, our cell coverage is Verizon.

We get them every once in a while. Have just learned to not answer if I don't know the area code or if they are not in my list of numbers. Caller ID sure is great. After getting a recorded message about septic cemicals about every 3 days, I finally listed to the entire message. It asks if you are interested to please state your name and spell your last name. I left them with Jack M Off, and then spelled it out. I haven't heard back from them for 3 weeks now. :grin:

I was called a couple of weeks ago, same thing. I think the area code was in Florida.

[Sucka Fish]

Yeah, one was Florida and the other was California. I think it was the same recording from both, but since I don't speak Spanish I'm not sure. I've never had telemarketers call me on my cell before, but may take Slab's advice and get on the do not call list.

Yeah, I got one of those the other day??? I think the area code was 303?

You need to sign up for the do not call list. Phone solicitors can now call cell phones....https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.
Imagine the long distance fees that could be racked up....
