I don't really know much about Vonage, but every couple of days I get an email in my inbox and I get all excited that somebody's emailing me until I notice it's a Vonage voicemail to Robert Gardner. The email is from Robert's phone number to my email address. I can click on it and usually it's a woman's voice saying "Yoo-hoo" and only lasts a few seconds.
I also get emails for George Gardner from various places like Target and some bank. I just delete them but it's kind of annoying. I'm on Comcast. Did they accidentally give me and George the same email address or what, I wonder?

Sounds fishy there to me. You can get off of their mailing lists/email lists by going to their official webpage and requesting it. Or just send it directly to spam. If you ever get any where they try to scam you out of something, by all means report them to the www.flakelist.org site. 🙂
Vonage has a facility that sends an email to you with a sound clip of the voicemail, a handy feature, I love it!
You can go to the Vonage site ( http://www.vonage.com/?login ) and choose how that setting works and what email addresses it goes to under "manage voicemail".
But, the email always comes from "[10 digit phone number]@vm.vonage.com"
and the subject line is always "You have received a new voicemail message"
I think you are being spoofed...
I have been using Vonage for nearly 4 years, both back in Az and here in Mx and as long as I have broadband access it is excellent in all ways. I have even taken the box with me when traveling and once it has power and the ethernet cable is plugged into a broadband router and the power wart in plugged into the wall all is good!
PS: Vonage gives a free month to both the new customer and an existing customer if you use the existing customers phone number when you sign up... and you can recycle your old number too.
My vonage number is in my signature below 😉

That's what the emails do say when I get them. They are from Robert's phone number (the recipient of the vonage call) and the message is "You have a new voicemail message". I was wondering why the calls are only a few seconds long and usually start out with "Yoo-hoo". So those are just clips of the phone call, huh?
What I still don't understand is why I'm getting emails addressed to my correct email address for George Gardner. The first couple of times, I replied back to the sender telling them I'm not George, and I've marked them as spam, but I keep getting them every couple of days. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to know I'm being scammed.
