Received a call at 4:30 this morning, 5/1/08. The caller asked for my wife by asking for her first name and job title. I asked the caller to identify himself and he asked for my wife again. I asked if he knew he was calling at 4:30 in the morning. He asked to speak to my wife again and if this was her phone number. I never said yes or no. I just asked who was calling. He said that he had inprtant information and would reveal his identity to my wife. I asked again who was calling and he hung up on me.
I received a call this morning at 5.45 AM from this same number. A woman with an Indian Accent. She said she is calling from Texas and Hung up as soon as I identified myself.
Looks like an Indian telemarketing company that cleans phone lists over VOIP. The originating call is from a VOIP line, and routed through US.
The Caller ID is a fake (you can basically put any ID in VOIP system).
These people start work at 3.00 PM in India and work over night, waged at $1.50 per hour and asks to call many numbers as possible to clean up calling lists for overseas companies. They do not have any clue whatsoever about the time over here when they call.
Same as everyone else. Received call at 1:05AM EST. Woman's voice slight accent but couldn't identify it (e.g. Indian, Spanish, Eastern European) . She asked for me by my name ... I said 'speaking' ... then mentioned the company I worked for ... I said 'yes', then the line went dead. I wonder how they new who I worked for ... possibly from my email address.
