Thanks! Makes sense now. I answered twice, and the hang up was just like the que the airlines use, so I suspected a telemarketer. Some of the folks they are calling already have credit issues, so why are they trying to sell credit protection or anything else to them, for that matter??? I am in TX & the landline was in NJ. Only picked up because I have friends in NJ---thought their number might have changed.
Just got a call from this number at precisely 8:03AM CDT today (joys of having an atomic clock on the wall).
When I picked up the receiver, I got a dial tone. My caller ID indicated "Out of Area." I did a Google search and got "Johnny Bae" of Closter, NJ 07624 but AnyWho.com's reverse number look-up does not find any record of this number. However, if you use AnyWho's White Pages look-up, there's a Johnny Bae listed.
Has anyone noticed that the postings for this number began on May 4, 2009 and continue through today (May 15, 2009)?
I just got a call from this number. I answered and the guy on the phone said he was with Discover and wanted to verify some information with my husband. I told him my husband was not in and asked if I could help. He said he couldn't "legally" talk to me. I asked for his supervisor and he couldn't tell me the name of his supervisor. I asked him if he was really from Discover. He said he was, but he sounded TOTALLY fake. I told him not to call anymore b/c we would not give him any information. THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM....DON'T TELL THEM ANYTHING!!
