A female (no unusual accent) introduced her name (I have forgotten it) and the company (something about Fraud somethingrather) and immediately asked for my name. I was confused why she would need my name. She sounded very sure of herself, and like she simply needed it for confirmation...however, when you call my cell number and right away call me sir...I know that you do not really know who I am... I hesitated giving my name because I didn't understand why she could possibly need it for beneficial reasons. She ended with "that's ok, thank you." when I said that I wasn't willing to give my name. Definitely knew then that it couldn't have been that important! Odd, though, that it was a different company name and tactics, but definitely same number as the many pages of complaints against this number
A guy called, asked last 4 digits of my social security number, and wanted my permission to send the money overseas, which they had held onto for want of some documents. I guess, this is not scam, but the folks working for this company has difficulty speaking english
These people are calling my work and cell phones. They say they are some online pharmacy- although it's so difficult to understand what they are jibbering, they might have said something totally different. Regardless, it's obvious they have stolen information and are trying to get more. Too bad they are too foreign and too illiterate of the English language to get anything out of any of us-- Idiots
I got a call from 740-368-0299 at my private faculty office number claiming to be from Citi asking to verify someone else's employment, whom I do not know, at my school, the caller claimed they got my direct office line by googling the university's name, not a likely scenario IMHO given we have 34000 students and staff here, and i am a teacher, not an employment officer. Her voice was barely audible and she sounded like she was on a cell phone in a tunnel.
