Is this a new phone scam?

[XanaDUer2]

Our landmine gets about 5 bs calls per day. Yesterday, it wakes me up to some guy with a foreign accent leaving a garbled undiscernable message, spelling out what sounded like the word drooling. The number I was supposed to call was clear.

Is this some new tactic.? Leave garbled messages making ppl curious or worried they have to call back bc they might miss something important? I played the message back and still cannot make out the message. This pisses me off I'm on the dnc list and its pointless.

1. I've gotten 2 like that. They are clearly doing it on purpose. The first few words are clearly spoken then they speed up

when they say who they are, so it's indiscernible. It was weird so I hung up. I thought.... well, that's new. sigh

2. It probably is a scam. For years we were getting 20 to 30 scam calls a day. We stopped answering and deleted any

messages we could tell were scams, which happened to be all of them.

3. I block several phone numbers a day, never answer them. Its only going to get worse in lawless shithole usa. nt

4. I get at least 5 calls a day about a Medicare device

They want to know if I'll be home to receive it. I ask where they're from and it's either "Medicare shipping" or "Pain Management". I say there's no such thing, you're a fraud, hang up, and block the number.

Now I don't bother answering, just block the number. The calls are all from one or two exchanges.

5. It's fun to frustrate them and waste their time

After years of scam baiting, I have a huge bag of tricks to drive them nuts while keeping their hope alive. I very rarely get those calls anymore, but sometimes I miss putting them through the wringer for the lulz. It's also a great way to get your number removed from their list... they never call me back when I'm done with them!
