I use Facebook to be able to contact my family. They all use Messenger there. Recently my feed page had something about Reputation Defender and I had never heard of it before so I followed the link to see what it was. In short, it is a Norton app. The next day I had 2 missed calls on my phone. It was Anna checking in on me as a follow up on my interest in Reputation Defender. Hard to believe really and I don't think Norton had anything to do with it. I eventually was able to contact the number she left and tell them I am not interested.

Imagine now you went to Lowe's and looked at lumber. Soon someone is calling your phone asking if you want to buy that board or were you just looking. This is horrible. I do not do business with people like this.

Within this same time period I am starting to get calls from a man calling himself "Sam" and he has an Asian accent and wants to talk to me about my Healthcare. I challenge him to tell me one thing about my care and even ask him my doctor's name. He does not know that. Saturday someone who sounds just like him called me 4 times. I do a one sentence cuss out and hang up. This morning another one called me before breakfast and I hung up.

I understand that many of you say if you do not know the number you do not answer the call. Maybe a friend of yours now has a new number, so I answer all calls and hang up on quite a few. My view of what happened here is that the link from Facebook was not a secure link. This lets any scammer zero in on your IP and other info that might include your phone number. I'm a detective of sorts so I know my "hot new number" will soon grow cold with them because I am not falling for it. They drop you just like they found you and everything goes back to normal.
