Since I started using Google Voice, I’ve received several calls from so-called mortgage help services which are of course a scam since I no longer have a mortgage that needs help. Today I received a call from an unfamiliar number in a state far far away. 216-282-0010 called and left the following message…

Needless to say, I reported them to the National Do Not Call Registry but we all know that’s pointless since they simply use VOIP and fake the number. Probably aren’t even in the U.S.
I’ve been getting the ” [[ BOAT HORN ]]This is your captain speaking…” ones on my cell phone. Thing is, it’s only happened *since* putting my number on the Canadian No-Call list…. :/
