It's called 'caller id spoofing'. The people calling you can make any phone number show up on your caller id. They're making a number show up that charges you money if you call it and press a certain key.
At the same time they've disguised the messages on their pay by phone system as surveys. Those messages normally tell you what you're buying and how much it costs.
Check your bill for unwanted charges if you called this number back.
When I got a call from this number I hit decline and they left a VM saying the were taking a survey for Bank of America. I called the number back and the recording said to hit 2 if you did not want to receive calls from them anymore. I can't help but wonder if you hit the 2 button if your number is then entered into a database that then sells your number to more telemarketers. God they are evil.
UGH. Got this 1 at 1:36PM. Usual hang up. Got this last week as well: WHY do they bother? On DNC but that never helps. Also unlisted but these clowns just robo dial. I get tired of it.
Wow! This outfit has indeed been busy today. I got the same scam others just reported. Call asks if you want to answer a survey on the national debt to get a free Bahamas cruise.
Yeah, right, like I'll give my credit card number to an unidentified stranger cold calling me out of the blue via a robodialer.
I swear, is it me or are crooks getting dumber and dumber these days?
