Called my phone on 15AUG07 at 7:30PM EST. They left no message and when I called them back the voice mail box was full but identified it as "Department of Defense". Of course the problems with this being it's from a Chicago area code, no one in the gov't works past 5 and it appears to be a private cell phone number, which would make this more than likely some sort of scam.
Received a call from this number 30 Aug 07 at 1530 called it back since the caller ID said Dept of Defense and it went to an automated mssg system that said Dept of Defense. DEont know what to make of it
Well, it looks like they are still doing it - got my call on 1 Oct 07 at 7:50 PM - not a nice thing to see on your caller ID when you have family in the military. They even ask for my husband by full name and rank. Sure hope somebody will get these people.
Received a call from this number but missed it and I called it back and it was a regular voicemail from a cell phone. But by reading all of these reports I think they were trying to get in touch with my husband because my husband puts my number in some forms by mistake since our numbers are close together. THIS REALLY IS A SCAM! Why do they target military? When everyone in the military knows they do not ask for personal info over the phone!
