I know who Future US is. They are a magazine publisher. Guess they're calling because I let my "Maximum PC" expire. They also do a Mac magazine, which goes better with my current computer.
I received a mysterious call from this number today. I let the caller ID pick it up before I answered. I didn't recognise the number, and it said 'unknown name.' I decided to answer it, and when I did, there were two people in mid conversation.
Person 1 : Yeah...
Person 2 : I'm not exactly sure where it's at...
Then silence.
I got this call while updating my MySpace page. I've been phished on MySpace. Been getting harassed, all because of some psycho on game apps. When I first looked up this number in the search engine, it freaked me out.
Because Houston, TX came up (where a lot of the suspicious profiles are popping up. Funeral Homes, and battered women places popped up. IDENTITY THEFT.
They have been messing with my friends. And one of my friends, sound like her identity may havebeen stolen...another friend myseriously has no moe internet or phone, and says charrges are being pressed (she hasn't been able to elaborate).
Those things could be unrelated. But the fact I blocked a cookie from a place called doubleclick, while updating MySpace...and the phone rang. Has got me REALLY SCARED
