Call from "Amanda" from CNG at 281-467-5418. Asked for a co-worker re a personal biz matter. Even though our company caller ID showed her phone number, I asked her for a phone #. She gave 800-769-1058. Both numbers come up as Check N Go. My coworker had his identity stolen in Aug. of 2010 and the switchboard has been hammered with numerous calls daily (sometimes I'll get three calls at the same time from the same caller ID, but different heavily foreign accented people asking for him). Once I get all the info from the caller (i.e., name, company, phone #), I put them on hold and Google their #'s. I inform the caller that the call is being recorded to turn over to the local fraud division of the police dept. and the DA's office and to remove our company's phone number from their records as we do not accept personal business calls. Thank you, have a nice day! "Click."
I wish our state and/or governmental agencies would go after these fraudsters!
