I received a call from 305-479-2657 on 10/13/09 from a very sarcastic guy. Told me I had paid $398 via a credit card for a FL vacation 3 years ago and if I did not use it soon, it would expire. He said all it would cost me is the cost to get to FL. I said I had never paid for a FL vacation and he said "oh yes you did" and I asked which cc it was. He gave me a 4 digit # and said that was all he had to identify it - I told him I have never had a cc with that 4 digit # so they had to be mistaken. I asked who was calling and all he said was it was for a time share (RIC). When I said I wasn't interested, he sarcastically said "What? Don't you have enough money to get to FL?" I stalled him by saying I would have to check with my daughter to see if we had discussed this as if one of us had purchased any such vacation, we would have made the decision together. I asked for a call back # and he said he could not give it but would call back. I had a Citibank card breached about 3 years ago (one guy from Venzuela went to prison in FL for that scam of the Citi cards) and I was suspicious this might be from the same scam as the newspaper articles regarding that guy said the authorities thought many other people were involved in it. I do intend to contact Citibank as well as our state consumer protection office about this also. I am on the "Do Not Call" list also.
Who is this? They have called me 3 times today. I do not pick up the phone for strange numbers. They never leave a message. It says on the phone number search that it is a cellphone in FL. I definitely do not know ANYONE in FL.
