Note: I also posted this entry under the 1-800-343-1721 the caller left on the VM. This number, 732-643-6010, comes up on the caller ID:
I rec'd a call from "Phil Grant". He was calling about a rental property I own, and described a student renting the house. He said he thought the student was the owner of the house, but when he called the tax office to find out, he got directed to me, and wanted me to call him back. The caller ID number just rings and rings, and the 1-800 number gets you to a message with a woman's voice and no business name. I did not leave a message, I'm concerned this is a scam.
WELL THEY MAY BE BUT THEY DIDNT TELL ME ANY BUSINESS NAME AT ALL AND LOOKING FOR MY MOTHER WHO HASNT HAD A BILL IN OVER 15 YEARS IN HER NAME, SO THEY MUST JUST BE RUNNING DOWN PEOPLES NAMES THEY THINK ARE FAMILY MEMBERS.
SAME HERE, BUT IT WAS PHIL HIMSELF. AND IF HE THINKS IM HAVING MY MOM CALL HIM BACK AFTER HIS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR HE'S NUTTIER THAN AUNT MARTHAS FRUIT CAKE. JUST KEPT TELLING ME HE HAD BUSINESS WITH HER, LIKE A GANGSTER OR MOB MEMBER. SOME NERVE.
"PHIL" LIKE WE'RE ON A FIRST NAME BASIS, CALLED MY CELL PHONE LOOKING FOR MY MOTHER. HE WOULD NOT LEAVE A COMPANY NAME OR REASON FOR CALL, JUST WE HAVE BUSINESS, LIKE A LOAN SHARK OR SOMETHING. I ASKED HIM TO TAKE MY NUMBER OFF AND NEVER CALL IT AGAIN AND HE TOLD ME THAT ONLY IF I HAD HER CALL HIM FIRST. NOT HAPPENING AND THE HARRASSMENT BETTER STOP TO PHIL.
Called me looking for a past tenant that I had evicted for non-payment of rent. Never left any useful information on my answering machine and secretary refused to say what it was about. Called a left a message on his machine advising that I wasn't responsible for my tenant's bills and that if he continued to call my house looking for payment that I was going to call the police and file a report for harassment.
