Got unwanted call from 800-223-9797?
Woman called looking for owner from 20 years ago. Would not tell purpose of call. She eventually hung up. Tried calling back. "Phone number is not reachable from my phone." Most likely a criminal money laundering scam. When answering potential spam calls, NEVER say the words YES or NO. It is too easy to have those words spliced as answers to things you would never agree to. Always use words like CORRECT, TRUE, FALSE, etc when answering yes/no type questions.
A 3 second message on voicemail: “Please Die”.
MAKE IT STOP!!!! 3-4 times a day and being a small business its wrapping up our time.
Getting calls from this number in groups of three, usually the first calls and then a minute or two later I get two calls from it at the same time. This is getting ridiculous.
My small business has been receiving calls from this WQHT - REQUEST 800-223-9797 at least every day some times 3 times day for the past year 8/25/21
Claimed to be from WQHT-FM Request Line which is a NJ station not even close to me. Total scam.
800-223-9797. Asked for the Owner. So I asked her to speak to the owner of her company...she hung up.
Called from 800-223-9797 apparently a spoofed phone number for a radio station (WQHT-FM). Asked for ___ and wouldn't say what it was about. Just hung up. Blocked the number.
800-223-9797-"Hello.... Is ______ there?" I am the Office manager, the caller hesitated & would not identify themselves.
Simple, don't answer any calls you don't know.
