Some dirty people who could barely speak English called from 2 variations of this same number yesterday and today. Today he claimed to be calling from the "U.S. Treasury Department of the United States"...... Neither could tell me the first ladies name or Hilary's husbands name....... LOL I told each caller i'd happily give them all my info if they could answer 1 simple question for me. They become very angry and irrate on the phone.
Obviously in a call center as you can hear many more in the background and almost smell the stench.
I get a call from this number at least 4 times a day. They never leave a message, and the one time I did answer and asked them why they keep calling me, they refused to answer and denied ever calling my number before even though I have the screenshots proving how often they call. They also refused to tell me who they even were unless I answered their questions first. Definitely a scam, and next time they call I'm going to threaten filling harassment charges!
Would you expect honesty from a number like this, or even an American on the other end? Nowhere in N. America does an area code or prefix begin with a 0 or 1, not to mention the area code 202 is a favorite for swindlers. Fishy looking numbers like this almost always come from overseas. This joker's after a live voice since it's doubtful there's a plan for an automatic response. If you can keep him from getting any kind of answer at all, you can maybe send him on his way. Don't bother arguing or threatening these clowns, either. They're calling because they're on the other side of the world, where they can get away with it.
