    The number 661-748-0240 comes up for anyone that is using Skype to make calls if you did not buy a personal number from Skype.
    I use Skype sometimes to call my relatives in other states and they always say this is the number that shows I am calling from. I am sure scammers if they know about it always use Skype to keep from being traced, but not everyone making a call from Skype is a scammer or worse :)

    They constantly call here with "Skype Caller" showing in the Caller ID. The last few calls have also shown "Skype Caller" with one digit off than their previous phone number. New number is 661.748.0241. When is enough in enough? When will something be done with these people????

    This person has called me twice. The first time I talked with them I let them explain their scam. They said they were in the refund department for a software or computer company that is going out of business (I do not own a computer) I let them say what they had to say. Told them they called the wrong person That I was not stupid and they weren't going to scam me. This was 7 months ago. They called again today, I told them they have already tried to scam me, to stop calling me and if they called again I would be making a former complaint with law enforcement ( I know they can't do anything but it gets the scammers to stop calling) Needless to say, if this number calls you, they are scammers. Just trying to get your info and money.

    4/4/16, 10:59 PM

    Oh my. Over the weekend I was slammed with strange calls. First lots of calls and hangups from 408-310-4473 and 818-477-4380 and 818-428-1768 all on Saturday. And then today many calls from this number 661-748-0240. Interesting they are all from California. I don't answer any caller I don't know. All of these numbers are connected in a strange way. Also got a call on Saturday from a glass replacement company in CA that is asking about my broken glass and suggested I call them back. I don't have broken glass and have no business in that state. A strange roll of events from scams. I don't answer calls.

    This fool from (661) 748 - 0240 called me late last night on my office phone.
    My Husband took the call and the fool demanded to speak to me.
    When I asked what he wanted, he accused me falsely of my first Book being all lies.
    Sorry, it isn't lies.
    it is my experiences with spirit, written to a Book.
    It is the same garbage that the fool(s) had put me through in E Mails for years, that have destroyed my life.
    This fool is a Stalker, that has sent people to run my family and I out of everywhere and have cost us Millions in losses.
    They have sent people to Physically Attack me and I fear for my life and that of my family.
    Once the calls stop, they will most likely sent me Hate Mail via US Postal Mail.
    They are obsessed with my death and the destruction of my life.
    The Demand is for my life to end by Suicide.
    They won't relent until it happens.
    The pushed me to that point once already.
    I am physically sick and exhausted.
    Cannot take any more and the Law is worthless to try to stop this.

    Please help me. I also have this Person calling and stalking me. Who is it?
    Don't be a victim replied 1/5/17, 1:39 PM
    Please log all of these calls, with the times, phone number, name identified, and then go to your police department with the info (including anything in writing). You can also change your phone number (unlisted is only a couple of dollars a month) Do not be bullied by these idiots. They're not going to do anything to you. It's all part of their scam. Most importantly, STOP, I repeat STOP talking to them. Hang up and disconnect the phone and answering machine. I would also call the phone company and report this. Everything's done by computer these days, and they can possibly block the calls. Don't let these bullies push you into doing something crazy. Absolutely refuse to be a victim any longer & Take action. Be strong and angry and determined to get the help you need to make this stop. If I were you, I'd disconnect the line (at the very least) and get a new, unlisted phone number.
    Help replied 1/5/17, 2:13 PM
    You need to report this. Go to the FCC's website; fcc.gov/complaints.

    For crying out loud, stop taking these calls! Have your phone number changed to an unpublished number and in a matter of minutes, your nightmare will be OVER.

    John reported number ‎6617480240 as Louisiana Child Support

    2/2/15, 3:24 PM

    This phone number is likely a number used when someone is trying to call you anonymously. I received a call from this number and it was the Louisiana Department of Child Support Services. The call was legit. Of course anytime you get a call from a unknown number, you should be concerned and used caution.

    RetiredInSouthFlorida replied 10/5/15, 2:15 PM
    When I use Skype to make a call to a phone number (for example, I use it to call relatives in Central America, friends in Germany, and a cousin in Canada), the number that shows up on the other person's caller ID (if they have one in the first place) is always either 661-748-0240 or 661-748-0241. I'm not calling my friends and cousins to scam them! Honest! That's just the number that shows up if you use Skype to make the call. ANYBODY can call anybody else around the world for very low cost using Skype, including scammers as well as legitimate callers. Please dont tar the whole road when there's just a few bad spots that need patching! Of course, if you're not expecting a Skype call from a specific person, you won't know until you pick up the phone. But so long as you're smart enough to not give a complete stranger your banking information or on-line access to your computer, you won't have a problem. If it's not a legit call, just hang up. There's no way to trace these calls.

    A Skype forum says this number is a generic default number generated by Skype. So, it could be from anyone and different people and "entities." Anyhow, my call went like this. They insulted me saying that my website is, cough, cough not ranking well on Google. We are an SEO company. Choke. I told him we are ranking well on all our industry keywords. He says "good luck." Yeah, good luck to you, too scammer.

    callcomplaints.com said "Caution, 661-748-0240 is a "spoofed" number, which means that whoever called you "tricked" your caller ID to display an incorrect phone number. Telemarketers do this so you cannot complain, but they failed... you can still file a complaint here to fight back against unethical telemarketers."

    Another day, another scam. These moron pigs used to call us several times several months ago but we stopped answering calls with Unknown Name, Private Caller, etc., etc., etc. These pigs would sometimes call @ 4:00 am, 2:00 am, and leave a message to return their call which we never did. Then the calls stopped so we thought one dimwit, nincompoop moron off the list of these worthless calls. But the morons have started calling back. Called @ 5:40 pm on 11/3, 10:18 am on 11/4. Of course, they don't leave a message because they think we are as stupid as they are and will try to call their stupid skype call !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the crap we have to go thru every day as business owners with the phone line that we have to pay for each month to AT&T !!!!!!!!!!

    These people seemt to be tracking social media sites and picking up on complaints posted there. It does somewhat disturb me that they were able to find and call me on my cell phone. Fortunately, they are complete morons so it wasnt hard to figure out it was a scam. If you get called within a short period after posting on FB or Twitter, always be wary.
