I, too, just got a call from these folks on my cell phone. The caller was a woman with a HEAVY accent, probably Indian. I could not understand a word she said, so I told her I wasn't interested and hung up.
Here is some information when I did a search on the 202 area code, which I know is Washington, DC
HELLO
just a fyi that there is a huge and never ending amount of fraud and scam calls from the " 202 " area code"............

I just got this call a few moments ago. So sketchy. They have me a number to call back and a confirmation number to give. I use my friends phone to call back and see what they said and it went to a voicemail system. First and last time I will answer the phone when a sketchy number calls me.
Been getting a call from this number everyday, several times a day, for about two months now. I never answer, just reject the call. Sometimes it leaves messages and it just sounds like someone butt dialed me or breathing noises in the phone.
