Lately, our Caller ID has flagged some callers as "Possible SPAM"

[eppur_se_muova]

Haven't seen this before a week ago, and it's not because of any changes that we made (at least not knowingly). Our phone is several years old.

Anyone know if this is a new policy, or the result of new regulation or new technology ?

1. Is it a cell phone?

My cell phone will flag some as suspected spam and it's usually right

[eppur_se_muova]

11. Nope, wall phone with some digital technology and wireless base ...

saves list of missed calls, etc. Several years old.

2. I've seen that, too. I think phone cos. have a list of numbers spammers use and started...

using it. Whether they were told to or not, I have no idea.

3. My Phone Says "Scam Likely"

It's normally just Vanessa about the extended warranty on my car (which I never bought).

6. Seems I Found You

Why not stop by (real soon) and check out our newest models; management promises they now come with extended warranty already built into the final price. Also, I can offer you a super discount on that undercoating treatment as well as those lasered-in numbers on all your window glass. As usual, just ask for me personally. Your friend forever, Vanessa.

7. LOL!

As soon as she (the recording) says, "Hi, this is Vanessa from dealer services" I hang up & block that number.

The funny part is, I kept my 717 phone number when I moved from PA 6 years ago & everyone I keep in touch with back there is in my contacts list. So even if the "scam likely" doesn't pop up, if it's a 717 number I know it's you Vanessa!

8. I just want to know if I can pay $1200 each for Lo-Jack and Lifetime Window Tint, Vanessa?

Do you have that at your place?

[wyn borkins]

14. Hello Hugh_Lebowski

As far as I know (and I might be wrong), but Lo-Jack equipment and service is no longer available...no really, I even checked with our finance guy in that tiny room where you sign your out-the-door papers; however, we now offer free window tinting on our high-visibility bulletproof window glass. So why not swing by so we can shoot the breeze. Who knows, maybe I could offer you a sweet deal you couldn't refuse. See you soon. Your new friends, Glocko and Vanessa.

4. frontier/Horizon been doing that on my landline for months now.

It's accurate at pointing to the spam calls, and not to "normal calls".

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. I've been seeing that for several months now.

For what that's worth.

10. Two cell phones lately flag numbers with 'Potential Spam'.

[UTUSN]

12. I get flags "Potential sprinkle-le-doodah" - (gone Zzzzz)

[sprinkleeninow]

13. You were going beddie-bye. What.

Get to know me more better.

Gonna share some ice cream with fur daughter now.

[luv2fly]

15. I get that too, several months now

I almost never answer the landline any more, assuming all calls are spam. If not they can leave a message.

17. THANK YOU !!

This is what I love about DU! Always someone has an authoritative answer to questions that only lead to a maddening mix of weirdly inappropriate false positives when Googling.

18. I have been making a point to block every SPAM call

that comes in. THey are now showing up as possible SPAM.
