These people cost me practically a job I held with a government agency, They latched on to my personal phone number, my name and ultimately the agency I worked at; calling my business line as well. I had to involve the District of Columbia's Special Detail Agents from Homeland Security. One of the agents assisting me, had experience the same call to his wife at home. So he believed me when I stated I had no idea where they got my number. Of course, this agency will not expose their organizatrion to these people, that for all we know have shady links to who knows who! I am blacklisted unless I change my entire name, for starters. Yes, they are scammers all right.
