Got a call. Wasn't sure if it was legit, so I answered. It was a prerecorded message about an "Important message" about my student loans. Don't know what came after that because I hung up.
Call for search engine optimization on Google, Bing and other search engines. Offered to insert child pornography and provactive sexual terms onto my web pages to increase traffic and drive my sales to new heights. The package offered seemed quite attractive because I have not been able to successfully reach the lucrative sexual predator customer base. I will take them up on their 30 day trial offer.
True, an assumption, but definitely how things seem to go. The "press # to be removed" message is simply a ruse designed to give the victim a false sense of accomplishment and security (also lowers incentive to report the phone number since the victim thinks they took care of the problem), when in reality the damage was done immediately after accepting the call.
