Caller first asked for "Kristen" then when advised he had the wrong # he said "maybe you can help me anyway"...says he's collecting funds for our local police department...yada yada yada - if you try to call the # back it won't ring
Received call; caller asked for me by my first name; when I asked: Whose calling?. Caller hung up.There was a lot of background noise as if many were in the same place.
A common ploy to get a name to go along with your phone number, which may bring more money in. They now know your name, therefore other third parties know who you are when they call, regardless if you've ever had previous dealings with them. If you ever wonder how random callers know your name when they call, you provided them with it previously.
