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.
I got a call looking for my fathers ex-wife. He hasn't been married to her for over 30 years and hasn't talked to her much in those 30 years.
Still seems fishy though, I mean how are they getting cell phone numbers for people who have never had an association with them. All we have in common is a last name!
Phil Grant has called every number, house and office, looking for descendants of my bf's grandfather. The messages he left says it's about his estate and a property. I called and a woman answered and said he wasn't in on Fridays but a relative should call back Monday. I've read posts that said he collects for NJNG but where they lived they couldn't access the gas lines, so it couldn't be that.
The numbers he's left are 732-988-1128 & 732-774-7722
