I get no less than 3 calls a day from different zip codes all over the country.OLDSKOOLERnWV, Flat Earth Trucker, Sons Hero and 1 other person Thank this.

Okay. Is there any other action that can be done to damage me? I mean, if they try to book loads, then the fault would lie with the broker or shipper for not doing their due diligence.
But for shlitz and giggles, what if they DID have a broker MC?Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -
I counted my calls at the end of the day several weeks ago, I got 47 brokerage or insurance provider calls in 1 day, and hardly 1 of em could speak English. Not hard to believe they are across the pond somewhere.

If they do have one and file a report you'll get a notice to your registered e-mail.Siinman, Flat Earth Trucker, PPLC and 1 other person Thank this.

Of course they are across the pond. There is one address in Cheyenne that has over 100 trucking-related businesses registered there. It is obviously a virtual office building. The Feds need to put a stop to this. It is not just trucking businesses anymore. We have foreigners literally infiltrating our economy from thousands of miles away. Aside from having no oversight, they don't pay taxes because they usually have you send them money via Zelle or some other app.Siinman, surf_avenue, Flat Earth Trucker and 2 others Thank this.

Same here but they aren’t calling from inside the US.Siinman, OLDSKOOLERnWV, Flat Earth Trucker and 1 other person Thank this.

I know. The numbers are spoofed.Flat Earth Trucker, PPLC and Concorde Thank this.

No significant damage as regards Carrier411. It's really easy to spot ######## reports.
You'll want to keep an eye out though if they're false booking on your MC. Though, that'll probably pop up pretty quick on Carrier411 as reports.
@Ridgeline has the most complete approach to this; I'd say look at it like that.Siinman, Flat Earth Trucker and gekko1323 Thank this. -
love those spoof numbers. had my own phone number call me a while back.
it was freakin' hilarious!! of course I had to ask the guy if he was me and if so who am I???
he didn't get it and hung up
