Automated call from this number said my my prepaid CC was locked and wanted me to input the credit card number to continue! do people really give up their CC numbers to these scams that easy?
Plain & Simple: If you don't recognize the number DON'T PICK UP! These robodialer electronic units are simply
searching for active numbers by calling various Area Codes and Exchanges for all 1,000 numbers in that Exchange.
Does not matter if you signed up for all the DNC lists...........these are robots phishing for good numbers to add to lists that are sold over and over....so if you don't want your number on that list DONT ANSWER THE PHONE!
So I picked up a call at work that was ID'd as coming from this number, based out of "Closter, NJ." We've never done business in New Jersey, but I've been getting silent robo-calls all day, and this was the only one with a pre-recorded message, offering me a business loan (which I don't need). Pressed 1 to get a live person to chew out, and got someone named "Jay" who tried to get my name out of me. I stopped him and asked him to confirm the business name, which he said was "Rapid Funding Group." As I was filling in the Do Not Call complaint form with the company name and the number I received the call from, that f***ing punk hung up on me before I could tell him to take my company off his list. Oh, I reported them to the Do Not Call registry and all that, but I was disappointed that the number didn't work both ways when I tried to call back and surprise the [***]. I hate these scammers, and I can't wait for the day some genius reconfigures the phone system to disable robo-call devices. And by "disable," I mean "remotely explode."
Called our business line, when I went to answer there was no one there and the call disconnected. When I dialed the number back, it instantly rang a fast busy.
