Got a call from this number that showed up as "Wyoming" on the caller ID while at my elderly aunt's home. My aunt & I answered simultaneously and the woman asked for Miss Wilson (which is similar to the last name "Williams" of my aunt's deceased sister-in-law whom she cared for). Out of impulse, my aunt answered "Williams" and the woman said, "Oh yes, "Williams!" I told my aunt to hand up immediately, which she did. I see how elderly people can get duped. They don't understand that in giving strangers the least amount of information and/or time, they can get access to so much more and wipe them out. I'm glad I was there to tell her to terminate the conversation.
People beware: Don't answer any unfamiliar phone numbers that show up on your caller ID--instead, jot the number down and "google" it. Do not call them back or speak to them--that gives them confirmation that a possible 'mark' is there & they will continue to call. Don't engage in any conversation with them, they have ways of getting information from you without you being aware. If you don't have caller ID, consider screening your call through your answering machine, allowing your answering machine to pick up the call and only answering it after hearing if the person is someone you know.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: Just because someone knows your phone number, doesn't mean that they know you. Many of these numbers are dialed randomly with hopes of scamming someone.
Gets calls frequently from this and other blocked numbers claiming to be 'Breast Cancer' fundraising organiztion. They have my name though I have requested at leat 4 times they take my number off their list and stop calling - they continue to do so. Am reporting this one - it's BS.
Rec'd a call from 307 462 2582 at 9 AM this morning. When they asked for me, I said "No I'm not here, good bye" and hung up. Knew it was an auto dialer as it took them 2 hellos from me to answer. All you have to do is say "we'll be out to pay you a visit" and they'll stop calling. I'm in PA.
