Hangup/no message from number identified as Chinese Consulate NY. Clearly a scam/spoof.

so what happened next?

Chinese message was left Have no idea what it said The number is from The Chinese Consulate but I'm sure it is a scam as I have no dealings with Chinese Consulate

I just got the call from the same number.i thought was the embassy calling cause I just went there a few months ago. So the story sounded so real to me.  Stupid me actually gave them name and birthday. Can they do anything with that? What can I do now? What did you end up doing? Filing a police report? You went there and what did you do? Help! I’m so scare!!!

Called twice, let it go to vm. Didn't leave one. Then, came across this site to see where it could come from. Very suspicious so labeled number, "ROBOCALLER."

Same story. I felt scared at first but then I found the real number online and call back. They said It probably be fake. Be careful.

I live in new york city i received a call from this chinese consulate dump or maybe someone is spoofing it but i called the number back and chinese woman is talking in chinese i am not oriental i have a block on my phone i had my phone company spectrum put a free blocker i was getting phone calls from everyone on the planet all scammers crooks and thieves they can call all they want they will get my blocker so f  k these chinese c  k s   kers..

Fake trying to get info out of me

Same happened to me! It is likely to be an offense of someone is spoofing this number.

I received a call from this number from a  Chinese consulate...it is obviously a scam

I'm replying Pat's since my experience is similar. Well, it's a different # that called me, 2122446301(Morocco), that called my cell, and when I pushed 2, a man speaking Chinese came on line, and he said he's with the Chinese consulate.  He asked my Chinese name and said to put me on hold in order to check on the data base (to see what the automatic recording on letter for me is about).  I said I have a meeting at work, and asked his name and phone #, to connect with him at a time when my meeting is over.  The # he gave me is 2122449392.  He called me from this (latter)# repeatedly, w/o leaving a VM.  I blocked this # now, after seeing the posts here, and am very grateful to not hear about con artists' stories.

Same here. Got a message from a lady today claiming to be from China consulate.

Also received this call even though do not disturb except for contacts is on.

I received a call numerous times from this # no messages. Tried to call back.no answer but sometimes a text message. I'm call you bk

I received a call from this number, don’t speak Chinese so immediately ended the call so I was surprised upon googling caller ID that it listed the Chinese consulate.

Thanks everyone for the posts. This would be the 4th phone i received this week. All from diff numbers, this one being one of them. Each time i have missed the call and as I listen to the messages left (same as noted as other posts), I was starting to get worried if i should really call back.   Then i come to this site where i see there has been numerous reports of SCAM, saves me the time to call them back.  Very strange, why would consulate call? what letter?

Me, too!  Just now, I got the call, and it noted the Chinese Consulate.  Definitely spoofing the number.  Put a block on it.

Please be alert that this is a spoofy scam, do not answer the phone.  Also you need to block this phone number.  The caller said is calling from Chinese consulate.  Never, chinese consulate never call people.  They will send out mail only.

I received the same phone call from this number. it is weird.. the said that I have documentation that needs to be picked up and I said I don't have any documentation. It is weird. If it is a 212 number which is NY area code the phone would not have any statics and the person would not sound like a robot. And she asked me about my Chinese name so she can take a look at it in the computer and I told her that I don't have any Chinese name. Soon after, she disconnected me.
I think this is a prank phone call!!

SCAM I just received a call. Didn't answer, when I called back, n o answer. Did web research. Same number, scam
