They're back!!!!! This telephone number, allegedly from Texas, has been operating on and off for ages.
Furthermore, I believe, it's currently now operating in conjunction with the telephone number 1-191-739-8300, which has only recently appeared and become the subject of complaints. (Note: 191 would be an Area Code for a few areas within the UK. As such, the number making rounds throughout this country is also a spoofed telephone number.)
These people are scam artists and/or telemarketers, and they're hoping you'll call them back and, ultimately, provide your personal, sensitive information. Please don't respond...ever.
This number began calling only after information was provided to Intuit.
Intuit sells information they receive from customers inquiring about merchant services.
Beware of Inuit - do not give them your phone number.
Goddamn scam company with antiquated [***] software.
From our local police report:
A homeowner reported receiving two strange calls that supposedly originated from the New Jersey area; the phone number 201-301-0307 appeared on the homeowner’s call display.
The first call was received at around 9:30 p.m. on Wed., Mar. 21. A female caller asked the homeowner questions about her green and blue bin usage.
The second call was received on Fri., Mar. 23 at around 10:30 p.m. This time a male caller with a Jamaican sounding ascent asked about her recycling bins.
When the homeowner called the city to make some inquiries she was told that no one from the city was conducting a bin survey and that she should report it to police.
