I meet a guy on a gay dating site and he gave me his number I googled it, and look what I found. 1-312-224-9245. I think that is bad business. Is there another thing that can be done about this.
Received a relay call from a "joe green" interested in purchasing glass from my company. Appeared odd but legit and gave my business email. He claimed to be buying glass for an orphanage-- red flag! and was very persistent about trying to get a response. Called himself from the above number and hung up. Then called again, it was a male with a very thick African or Middle Eastern accent (not an accent that matches a name like "joe green"). I "googled" the phone number and found this page. I decided to treat his email as spam and ignore him-- something just didn't seem right. I suspect that this individual may be trying to hack into a business credit card processing system or something of that nature. Please be careful.
I was told that this number was the home phone number of Jane Quincy who tried to purchase over 300 dollars in Avon Products from me and then have meship them to Ghana using two credit cards, both with the same Wisconsin billing address. I called the business registered at the credit card's billing address to see if I could get verified confirmation that this was in fact, legitimate. The person who answered was a worker at an African Store and was very rude and said they had no idea what I was talking about.
I answered the phone and someone with a very heavy accent (african?) claimed to be from a website where I had placed an order two days earlier. Somehow, they had my credit card number, but wanted me to tell them the 3 digit number on the back of the card, which I refused to do. I immediately called my credit card company, and they told me that someone (not me) was currently in the process of trying to place an order online using my credit card number.
