I got a phone call from a number I did not recognize, so I didn't answer. So they leave a voicemail, I listen to it and they say I got a delivery from some glass company and that they need my creditcard information to make sure it matches. The caller leaves his first name as reference.
Who to know if they are legit:
1) What kind of person leaves just his first name, come on your name isn't McLovin.
2) Call back right away ask how they got your number and ask them why they called you, be confused then firm. If they can answer you, these people are yankin your chain. What kind of receptionist is going to know who you are without a name.
3) I told them exactly what the voicemail said, except I left out my name, so they shouldn't know who I am or who called me, but somehow they did, they were absolutely sure that "Jose (noname)" called me this morning.
4) Do they really think I'm going to give anyone my personal information, let alone my creditcard information, over the phone. You Crazy.
Tips to make sure these people stop calling:
1) call back immediately if they know who you are, without you giving your name or any information, they are big fat fakers.
2) Be rude. There is no need for someone trying to jack my information at 9am on a Firday.
3) Ask them questions like who is your boss, where are you located, can I meet you in person, that one will really throw them off.
4) You want to confront them about how they got your information. You want to know what they know. Hey you never know maybe someone else already has the same information they do.
5) DONT GIVE ANY PERSONAL/CREDIT INFO OVER THE PHONE.
