I was contacted by this number today. They identified themselves as ICS and asked me to "verify" my birthday and then hung up when I asked "Who is ICS?"
I called back, again asking "Please explain, who is ICS?" I was asked for my name. I gave Mrs. <lastname> and said again, "I need to know, who is ICS?" They replied, "Miss <lastname>, as in <my minor daughter's name>?" Sigh. "I have no business relationship with any ICS. Who are they, please?" "The company I work for." With that, they hung up again.
Got a call from 1-312-521-7047 on 3/24/2009 at about 1.1 pm. When I picked the call there was a recorded message which said "Please wait on the line, it's important that we speak with you". In about a minute a lady came on the line and called me by my name and asked me to verify my birthdate. I asked her who she was and the organization she is calling from. She said she could not tell me both unless I cooperated and gave her my birthdate confirmation.
I told her I could not verify it and asked her number and organization so I could call her again. She gave her number as 312-521-7047 and said she could not give her name or company name as I was "not cooperating" with her by confirming my birth date, and she immediately hung up.
I checked online and came across this site, and am now sharing the above information with you. Please do not share any personal information over the phone to such crooks.
I will now call the local 311 and report the same for follow-up.
