Hello everyone,
It seems my phone number is on a fraud list.
Disclaimer : all phone numbers listed below are fictionnal
So, my phone number is 514-555-0203. I received a couple of weeks ago a phone call from 514-555-4381. It was a voice generated automatic message about how i was supposed to receive a refund. I hanged up right away.
Few days later, i received another call, this time from 514-555-6716. It was the very same automatic message. Hanged up again.
Few days later, i received a call from 514-555-0456, but this time, i missed the call. When i call them back, a teenage girl answered and she had no idea what i was talking about. Few days ago, i received a call from 514-555-1439, a lady who was wondering why i called her. And today, i received another call from 514-555-9091, the same automatic message.
So, i was wondering if it was possible for so many phone number to be "corrupted", especially considering they ALL begins with the same 6 digits... I called my phone service provider and they said all i had to do was to block these numbers or to change of phone number. I asked how it was possible for them to use my phone number but they told me it was something impossible.
So, am i just being naive? Are all these phone numbers just owned by frauds? Is the lady herself who "called me back" a fraud too?
Does anyone here have an explanation for this?
Thanks
