FYI 707 is Northern California, not Atlanta.

I watched a guy on facebook talk about putting a stop to scammers. he said just say "yes" to everything they say. they don't know what to think and end up hanging up. Since I have done this I get maybe a couple calls in a months time. My number must be on their do not call list, ha.

Without exception, callers with strange numbers get the opportunity to leave a voicemail. Those who hang up without leaving one get blocked.

Courts and judges 'set or adjust bail numbers', not the higher ranks of law enforcement, such as sheriff captains.

In addition to the above, I disconnected my wired telephone, since all I got on it was spam - at least three per day.

I heard about a scam involving grandparents being called, the caller claims to be a grandchild, and they need bail, and don't tell their mom. I DARE you scammers to call my dad, he would say "i will not pay your bail, if you did something wrong, then you need to sit there and think about it!!" AND I'm calling your MOM!!
