What's the matter with these scammers?
Do these people seriously believe that creating a number similar to mine is going to get me to answer?
They need to think again.
Firstly, my phone is on silent 24 x 7. If someone needs to speak to me they can leave a message and I'll (maybe) get back to them, but only if I recognise the number.
Secondly, if I don't recognise the number I won't answer. They will have to leave a message. No message, no response from me.
Thirdly, if they leave a message and I'm not sure that I'm happy with things, they don't get called back.
It doesn't matter to me what number they contrive on their computers, it could even be the number before or after mine, if I don't recognise it it just takes up another line in my call history.
