Caller in broken English stated they are calling from Southwest Airlines and want to give me a free trip. The first call was to make an appointment in my town to go to an address (I was given the impression it was an office of Southwest Airlines) with my husband. I did not make the appointment but told them to call back. They have called back three times at inconvenient times. They keep asking when they can call back. The background noise is loud sounds like a call center. When I asked where this "office" was they stated a local street name and said the business name was "VIP Travel". I have researched this number and business name without finding any information on them. I'm so sorry I stayed on the line and gave them the impression I was interested, now they won't leave me alone. I have no idea what the scam is but I do think it's a scam of some sort.
NEVER answer a call that has the exchange prefix starting with "0" or "1". So, although 210 is a valid area code for Texas, real phone numbers require the exchange (the next three digits beyond the area code) to start with 2-9 in the North American Numbering Plan Administration area (NANPA) which is the U.S. and Canada. So, 210-123-xxxx, 512-098-xxxx, 972-145-xxxx are ALL spoofed. (also 123-4567???... come on!)
If they have to resort to faking their phone number, you do NOT want to do business with them.
