recent articles at better business bureau, scam busters dot org and the fiscal times dot com say that there a couple of
new scams from telemarketers and scammers.  The first scam uses (spoofs) the numbers of regular people, particularly
owners of small businesses but they also spoof the phone numbers of regular people in the hopes of tricking the
householder into picking up the phone.  Since these numbers are not likely to be on the compiled lists of spoofed
numbers that are available online, the scammers hope that the householder will pick up the phone.  That would explain
why we and many other posters have been receiving calls from local florists, child day care centers, family business
in tampa, florida and the phone numbers of elderly people including an 86 year old woman in haines city, florida.  The
other scam is to use (spoof) the phone number of the householder.  The BBB article says that the objective of the
telemarketer/scammer is for the householder to be so shocked (or curious) that his or her phone number is showing
up in the caller ID, that they will pick up the phone.  BBB says don't do it.  If you missed the call, do not call "your"
number back.  If a person or recording advises you to press certain buttons on the phone, do not do it.  Just
hang up.

called again.  poster on another website said that caller offered her a loan to consolidate credit card debt.  Sounds
like a scam.

This number is listed as belonging to an elderly woman in Haines City, FL. I seriously doubt that she is the one calling people randomly. However, I have been reading the posts on the different websites and there is a new scam that telemarketers and scammers are using. They are SPOOFING THE PHONE NUMBERS OF REGULAR PEOPLE, knowing that their phone numbers will not be part of the lists of spoofed numbers such as can be found on the caller complaints website. There is no way that an old woman is randomly calling people. I suspect that this woman's phone number may have been hi-jacked and is being used for these scammers.

Something is seriously wrong with the calls coming from this phone number.  For the past 3 weeks, I have received calls from this number with "Florida" in the caller ID.  No messages.  Today, I received a call from this same number with the
name of Dianne Wright in the caller ID.   Some strange phenomena related to this phone number are:  (1) On the
" why call me" website, this phone number is registered to an elderly woman named Glenna Fisher in Haines City, FL
This information was confirmed on the ypeek dot addresses dot com website through the haines city, florida white pages.
The phone number was also confirmed at this website.  (2) Why would this woman be randomly calling tons of people
multiple times per day and week, saying that her name is: Tina, Robin Smith, Dianne Wright and someone from the
AIC energy company?  (3) It appears that some scammer has spoofed this woman's phone number for their scam calls.
(4)  The BBB has recently advised that there are new scams being used: one which spoofs the phone numbers of
regular people in the caller ID and the other scam which spoofs the phone numbers of the targeted call.  The BBB says
that in both cases, the objective is to trick the person into picking up the phone.  Phone numbers of regular people are
not likely to be on the lists of spoofed numbers available online.  People who see their own phone numbers in the
caller ID are supposed to be so shocked and/or curious (hoped for by the scammer), that they will pick up the phone
if for no other reason, just to see why their own phone number is showing up in their caller ID.  Whoever is behind
the calls from this number, it is clearly a scam.  I feel very badly for the woman whose phone number is
obviously being abused.

Ashley spoke. We said we do not take commercial calls.

This is crazy, as this number have called me all week.  When I get home from work, I call it back and get a busy signal. In sane!!!!!
