"John" from "The Mortgage Assistance Center" gave this as a callback number. This outfit leaves prerecorded voicemail solicitations at least twice a week, always calling from a different number (so, spoofing is suspected).
The voicemails they leave me say they are Robert from 'The Mortgage Assistance Center'. Somehow they bypass the phone ringing and go straight to voicemail. I get several calls a week from them, always a different number calls me. But the callback number they leave is always the same. I spy-dialed the callback number and some lady answered and said 'Foreclosure Defense'. So which name is the real name? They use call centers to call, that's why there's always a different number that calls, but the callback number that they tell you to call is always the same. I've blocked 21 different numbers so far. And the calls come from all over the country.
Mortgage Modification scam! Nothing stops these folks and the continued spoofing is bad.

It's a mortgage scam. They leave voicemail only, phone doesn't even ring. I've had 3 different people call so far. It started with Robert then some lady named Sam, now it's John. I solved the problem, I just had my number changed. I had it changed 2 weeks ago and my phone hasn't rang once......at all. I haven't even got a text. Had to have a friend call me and send a text to make sure phone was working right.
