Just received a call from this telephone number. No message was left. Anonymous callback reached a Google recording saying that the subscriber is unavailable...blah...blah...blah.
Just received call from 1-213-293-5087, caller id on cell indicated Los Angles , Ca. Answer and a woman with an accent answered. She indicated she was calling in reference to "National Grid" which is a power company here in Massachusetts. She said she would call back later. The town I live in has it's own utilities including electric. THIS HAS TO BE A SCAM. I also heard many people talking in the back ground.
Also received a call (actually two) from this number. When I answered the second there was a brief pause (a sign that the computer is transferring the call to a live operator - who is probably stunned that they actually reached a potential "client"), and the woman, who sounded startled, said, "is this Bob? No? Well, I must have reached the wrong number." Click.
When I tried calling back anonymously, there was a constant busy signal.
Fortunately I have a (Panasonic) phone system that allows me to block all unwanted calls by clicking on a "call block" feature. I have blocked literally hundreds of these scam calls in the last year or so. (It's like whack-a-mole, but I'm whacking a lot of them!) I would suggest everyone check out their phone system and see if it has a similar feature. Our phone rings a lot less often lately - but it's terrific!
I to received a call. No one answered in the other line, but someone was Def there. I thought I had a prob with my phone, so I called back to get a google no answer response . Hmmm there seems to be a lot of this going on, I'm just hoping I wasn't charged $$ for calling back...
