Scammers are getting cleverer these days, the best thing to do, of course, if you do not know the number personally don't answer it.
On my landline answering machine I got a call from South Carolina, I don't know anyone in South Carolina, I heard the message "May, I talk to Stanley?", then it was" hello hello" to me if someone does not leave a message ,of what they want, I don't consider it as important, and do not answer.
The scam number was/is *843-628-0176 . I Googled it, and they could not find any documents for that number, so I knew it had to be a scam. A real business would have documents of who they are.
Social Security, Medicate, Medicare, Mircosoft and IRS will never call, unless you call them first; They only communicate by sending letters.
Even on television you see advertisements of Medicare Part C, I would be wary of that, mostly because most say "Don't wait, call now" What's the hurry? Don't paid attention of such advertisements, most have crawls with fine prints with special conditions and saying they're not really part of the government.
Yes, phone numbers can be "spoof" to make sure if they did call; call them and ask them if they did indeed call. not the number displayed, but the one in the original phone book. if you do not know the number, don't answer it especially if they do not leave a message on your answering machine.
One day I got a call saying the caller was a policeman and he was going to arrest me, I told him "Good it will give me time to make my escape". Dumb idiot.
*843-628-0176 is a robot call, when I find scams I tell other people about it across all my medias. See scam videos below the phone numbers are displayed because they're scam numbers anyway, these 5 short videos may be good for a few laughs :) -end.
