These punks tried to get my wife, and momentarily surprised her because they said her first name. Then they hung up. Not sure why, but she tried to call back they said the number was not accepting calls. Whatever the penalities are for this type of behavior, its probably not enough.
Got calls for awhile with similar pitch. Today got call from the 214-960-6822. Said sep division of amazon and I ask again and he said all I need to know is amazon. and started with I had requested call. I said no and then he said I signed up on internet and I again said I did not. He then said he did not have a phone book and I need to stay off internet as I do not know what the hell I am doing. Cussed me out and then said have a good day as he would and go to hell, Wish I could get my hands on him.
My wife got a call from this number today. Same thing -- very rude and persistent. He had her cell number and first name. She does sell an occasional used book on amazon marketplace so I do wonder if amazon sold the list or if they were hacked.
Woman said from "SMB" and mumbled something about being with Visa and MasterCard. Wanted to ask a bunch of questions to see if I was qualified to make $2,000 to $5,000 per month. When I interrupted her script and asked what the name of the program was, she couldn't tell me... stammered, stuttered, then started reading the script again.
Obviously is a boiler room, selling "the program". After I let her go for awhile, she finally indicated a "representative" would need to call me "if" I qualified. After making up a bunch of random numbers (several credit cards, big limits, low balances) I could hear her getting excited about it. Finally just said "No thanks, I don't buy scams. And hung up.
This sounds a repackage of an old kiting scheme that loads up your credit card with the promise of making a ton of money...
