Hello,

I believe that 657.233.8365 to be a spam number. Would it be possible for you to block it?

Best,

For those curious about the "CALIFORNIA CALL" CID, check out these websites:
http://call-center.jobs.net/jobs/california.aspx
http://www.callcenterjobs.com/Call_Center/software.cfm

It's a widespread operation of questionable reputation. They solicit telemarketers who want to work at home for minimum wages, then sell the services to companies that want telemarketers to call thousands of people, without having to hire anyone.

I doubt there's any way to attack this form of telemarketing, other than with a military attack.

Keeps calling asking to send money with green dot for a old ticket.

The number 6509699692 is being used to send spam calls. Someone is using it to try to get payment information out of customers and if cornered or asked too many questions will suddenly hang up.

That suggestion comes from this "opinion" story:

(the author of that opinion piece works for the "Dr. Oz" program, which I consider a very unreliable source -- but posted in case the pointer is useful ...)

And for that one would have to find their ICBM address, a.k.a. latitude and longitude

For several months, everyday I have had spam calls from a CID of BERKELEY 548-5563, once in the morning and again in the late afternoon.

Usually I don't pick up, but I'm not always at the phone that gives caller ID.

I have tried to get through to ask them to remove me from the list, but they hang up on me before I get there. The robocall recording says this is my last chance to lower my interest rate on my credit card.

The phone number is spoofed, since it is a disconnected number, so I cannot call back. Likely it is used through Magic Jack. Can you block spoofed phone numbers? I would be so grateful.
