This number called me, I spoke to an operator and asked what company she was with... She replied "warranty services". I asked what vehicle warranty expired, she asked me to what vehicles I had and told her I had a jeep. Then told her that she called my cellphone and it was about to loose power. Told her to call me back on my home phone and gave her the emergency contact number for the us embassy. This is a warranty scam.
Ha, they just called. And for some reason, anytime an unknown number calls me, I always reject it. Get to the nearest computer. Google the area code only as "area code 302" and see what pops up before I decide to call it back.
-First result, is this. What coincidence that simply by typing in "area code 302", I automatically get this. Good to know. This is the first time I've ever received calls from any scammer. I will not call back. But what can we do to stop this, or block people like this?
Just googled this number. Here is what came up as a google directory listing:
Tina Mccall (302) 221-1509 New Castle, DE 19720
Sounds like the phone number is being spoofed, if people are getting a recording. I've seen on-line services that allow phone number spoofing to hide the caller's true phone number. The services suggested uses are legitimate, like an on-call doctor spoofing his home phone number to read as the office number in order to protect his home phone number when he calls a patient back. For every legitmate use of the service, there are at least a dozen unethical uses.
Either that, or the individual Google's service names got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Just like everyone else, I got this call this morning, didn't answer it, and they didn't leave a message. Then when I googled the phone number I came across this site. I've actually been getting these calls for about a year now at my work, but we don't have caller ID there, so I never know when its going to be a scam call. Next time they call back, I'm going to DEMAND that they take me and my business off their list!
