I just missed a call from this number and when I called back it said it was Education Headquarters wanting to know if I wanted to further my education. I'm not sure how they got my number though, hopefully they won't call back.
I got a call from 201-520-9547 on Sept. 13; caller with a foreign accent identified himself as Ryan Phillips from Education Headquarters. He informed me he was calling in response to my request for information about furthering my education. I did not request any information and told him that. He said I went online on Sept. 9 and requested it. I did not go online Sept. 9 to request any such information and told him that as well. He asked if I planned to further my education; I told him I did not. He then asked if anyone else in the household planned to further their education; I told him this was a business line and not to call it again.
I know now how EH got my number. On Sept. 9 I got a call from "Operator 256" at a company called Esta Sol (phone number 402-982-0603) a telemarketing firm saying I won a cruise and telling me to go online to www.surveyclaim.com and claim it -- which I did not do. Esta Sol rattled off a phone number, which is an old number that is being forwarded to my current number, and that is the same number Education Headquarters called. I would never give permission to anyone to share my phone number, but clearly Esta Sol has taken it upon themselves to distribute my info to God knows who else.
Just received a call at my unlisted direct line at work. I told the woman, who I could barely understand, that she should not be calling at my place of business and asking personal questions. She also called me by my given name that I do not go by.
