This call was immediately proceeded by an ID-blocked unknown call that didn’t record anything. T-Mobile caller ID lists this call as: Rideshare2vote in Grand Prairie Texas. I wonder why Robokiller lists it as Anita Wilhelm in Palestine Texas. The area code is correct for T-Mobile’s listing in the Dallas area. Listening to a Nomorobo recording of a call from this number yields this confirmatory information: “…schedule a free ride by calling 888-977-2250 or by visiting www.rideshare2votes.com”

I get too many of these & they will ask for a donation on my e-mail too many! I believe in my party, but this is turning into a all year thing instead of at crucial elections…way too much!!!

Fake pharmacy healthcare scam by madarchod criminals phoning from India to steal credit card numbers These fake US/Canadian/Online/Global Pharmacy, Babylon Health, Pharmacy Services, Pharmacy Network, America Online Chemists, Healthcare Specialists, Pain Relief Network, Pain Management Center, and other fake company names are criminals calling from India to steal credit cards, Social Security and Medicare numbers, and your personal data for identity theft. The scammer often asks for you by your name to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are randomly auto-dialing everyone. The scammer may say "remember you purchased from us before?", "I am calling about your prescription", "we work with Medicare", "we are partnered with your insurance company", or "our drugs are made in the US", which are all fake just like the fake drugs that they pretend to sell. The scam may involve a fake survey. Pharmacy scams try to sell you fake ED drugs, painkillers, weight loss, fake vitamins, or diabetes drugs. Many fake pharmacies pretend to be a healthcare or health insurance company and they ask for your SSN. If you are a "lucky" scam victim, you receive nothing and the scammers disappear after overcharging your credit card, or the fake drugs are shipped from India but seized by US Customs and law enforcement. If you are an unlucky scam victim, you receive pills/capsules that are just dirt mixed with flour or starch, and these fake drugs are often tainted with toxic contaminants that destroy your liver and kidneys. More than 85% of all fake drug scams in the world are from India scammers who partner with package counterfeiters to make the fake drugs look authentic. Millions of people die from counterfeit drugs every year. Fake drug scams have persisted for centuries because scammers easily create their own pills/capsules and only a laboratory can verify what is inside them. Anyone can buy tablet pill press or capsule loader machines for under $300 or machines that create perfect-looking pills and capsules for under $1500. Buy a fake Rolex and you look cool. Buy fake drugs and you ruin your health. You are a fool if you think you can buy cheap drugs from scammers who constantly change phone numbers. Many fake pharmacy scammers sell your credit card and personal data on the dark web and then even more scammers prey upon you. More than 80% of North America scam phone calls come from India scammers who operate hundreds of fraud, extortion, and money laundering scams every day such as posing as a fake pharmacy, fake Social Security officer saying your benefits are suspended, IRS officer collecting on fake unpaid back taxes, debt collector threatening you for fake unpaid bills, fake bank/financial/Fedex/UPS/DHL scams, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, student loan forgiveness, credit card and debt consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say an unauthorized purchase was made to your credit card or your Prime membership was auto-debited from your bank, posing as Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple to say your account has been hacked or they detected a virus on your computer, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, fake Google/Alexa listing and work-from-home scams, posing as an electric utility, Verizon, AT&T, or Comcast to say your service is suspended, fake solar panel and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to steal your credit card, bank account/routing number, Social Security number, and personal information. A India call center may rotate through a fake Social Security, subscription auto-renewal, pharmacy, and credit card offer scam during one week. Philippines scammers account for about 15% of scam calls. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack devices) or they spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. Anyone can use telecom software to phone with a fake CID name and number. India scammers spoof thousands of fake 8xx toll-free numbers. CID is useless with scam calls unless the scam asks you to phone them back. CID area codes are never the origin of scam calls since scams use spoofed CID numbers from across the US and Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams from India spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual phone numbers of businesses such as Apple, Verizon, and banks to trick you into thinking the call is valid. How can you avoid being scammed by phone calls? NEVER trust any unsolicited caller who sells something (most unsolicited calls are scams so your odds of saving money are very poor); asks for your Social Security number; offers a free gift or reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit or says you need to reply back soon (pressure tactic); asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims suspicious activity on your account; says your subscription is being refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all pre-recorded messages. Recordings are far more likely to be malicious scams and not just telemarketer spam. All unsolicited callers with foreign accents, usually Indian or Filipino, are mostly scams. Filipino scammers tend to speak better English than Indian scammers. Many Filipinos pronounce English with a subtle accent having a slight trill. Scams often say that you inquired about a job, insurance, social security benefits, or that you previously contacted them or visited their website. A common India phone scam uses a fake Amazon recording about a purchase of an iPhone, but Amazon never robo-dials and Amazon account updates are emailed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always verify the number that the recording tells you to phone or just call the number printed on your credit card. Some India scams ask for your credit card for purchase of their fake product or service. The scammer calls you back one day later to say their credit card machine is broken, so you must wire transfer the payment to them. After you have wired the money to them, they still overcharge your credit card after they change phone numbers, so they rob you twice before disappearing. Wire transfers and prepaid debit cards laundered through foreign bank accounts are untraceable. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call, but their autodialer automatically displays your name or says your name in a recording when your number is dialed using phone databases that list millions of names and addresses. Scammers often call using an initial recording speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech translation software to disguise the origin of their India phone room. Some speech synthesis software sound robotic, but others sound natural. To hide their foreign accents, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. India scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) robotic software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "Hi, this is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, this is fake_name, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? (pause) Are you there?"; or "Hi, may I speak to your_name?" IVR quickly asks you a short question to elicit a yes/no reply so it hangs up if it encounters voicemail. IVR robots understand basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "How is the weather over there?" since IVR cannot answer complex questions and it keeps talking if you interrupt it in mid-sentence. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or SSN. A common myth is IVR calls record you saying "yes" so scammers can authorize purchases just using your "yes" voice, but scammers need more than just a recorded "yes" from you - credit cards and SSN. Phone/email scams share two common traits: the CID name/number and the "From:" header on emails are easily faked, and the intent of scam calls is malicious just as file attachments and website links on scam emails are harmful. Scams snowball for many victims. If your personal/financial data are stolen, either by being scammed, visiting a malicious website, or by a previous data breach of a business server that stores your data, then your data gets sold by scammers on the dark web who will see you as fresh meat and prey on you even more. This is why some receive 40+ scam calls everyday while others get 0 to 2 calls per day. If you provide your personal information to a phone scammer, lured by fake 80%-discounted drugs or scared by fake IRS officers, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Most unsolicited calls are scams, often with an Indian accent. No other country is infested with pandemics of phone room sweatshops filled with criminals who belong to the lowest India caste and many are thieves and rapists who were serving jail time but released early due to prison overcrowding. India scammers shout profanities at you. Just laugh at their abusive language. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites, e.g. call him "Rundi Ka Bacha" (son of whore) or call her "Rundi Ki Bachi" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry; asking scammers to stop calling is useless. You do these scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. But you ruin their scams when you slowly drag them along on the phone call, give them fake personal and credit card data (16 random digits starting with 4 for Visa, 5 for MasterCard), ask them to speak louder and repeat what they said to waste their time and energy.
