more continual scams; phone, email, & snail-mail
Thank the scumbags who harvest vehicle info databases.
Apparently when you purchase a car or other major item,
you have no rights to privacy, as the automakers, dealers, financial institutions
sell your name & info, and the credit reporting agencies let any scam artist
willing to pay them, have access to your credit report.
No, you can't selectively opt-out, it's all or none, meaning you will have a hard time getting credit
if you opt-out with the credit agencies.
After the first call, I looked up the number at different sites because my "PhoneWarrior" app said it was spam and reported by several others. Where I looked online, they all say it's a scammer calling about vehicle warranty or school academy, etc. Someone said as soon as he posted stuff on facebook he started getting calls from that number. I had phonewarrior block the number. An hour later I was alerted that I was called by that number again, but it was blocked. I'm guessing that they're coming from some online sites I visited for jobs.
I have a new cell phone # (2 months old) and very few have my number. I have, however, been providing contact information on some résumé posting related to job searches. I received the call in the morning of November 5th but was not able to answer. Since I was expecting from anyone in Illinois, I decided to check out this number. I know enough now that I will not return the call and the person calling left no message. Thanks to the previous folks who took the time to post.
Received a call on answering machine from this number, no message left. I will block the number from further calls. Thanks to others for posting information about this number.
