Lately I’ve been getting mostly Medicare scams, with the occasional “you have been charged lots of money on Amazon” scam.
At first, after getting past the obvious recording, I was getting Indian voices with call-center background noise, who identify themselves with names like “Jeffrey” and “Jonathan”.
Now the automated recording goes into a less-obviously-automated bot with an American voice.
This stuff is blatantly organized crime, being done with the connivance of certain phone companies. It’s not gonna go away until government action in both the origin countries and targeted countries shuts it down … or until the targeted countries abandon the legacy phone system entirely.
