This is one of the smaller places.
I’m taking care of the bigger ones, some of which are operating multiple inbounds to the same call centres.
They’ve been dropping steadily all day.

Tried to call with two different numbers. Instant hang up
How do you know how big each call center is? It might be better to make a separate post for that number so more people can see it.
I called to check and it says the number is busy
So don’t call it @MajorLeeAwesome
Yeah, I checked it out and a belongs to a group of orthopedic surgeons.
So did you get a VM, or actual person?
I got a voicemail, and then I looked up the orthopedic group online, and it has the same phone number.
Glad it was you. I guess it being labor day they might be closed. Sometimes good numbers fall into the hands of not so good people.
To harass them would be un-ortho-docs
(I’ll let myself out)
At least you have one foot in the door so to speak.
There have been scammers creating accounts here on scammer.info and spamming numbers that are actually not scams or they spam the same number every day. I’ve noticed it’s been happening more often nowadays
The idea is that if someone spammed that number, poor doctor
If you ever see a message like that, make sure to flag it as spam so it gets hidden and so the moderators can see it
