Don't usually answer unknown calls, but I was waiting for a satellite repairman to show up so I answered. A "lady" with a heavy accent said she was with Guideposts magazine's billing department and that the credit card I renewed with last time ("your VISA starting with the number 4") expired in 2010 and they needed my new credit card into to process my renewal. I told her to send me a statement and I would write my info on it and mail it back. She said the mail is not secure and I should give her the info over the phone. I told her "bye-bye".
I don't know anyone in New York. Suspicious and among the variety of calls from unknown numbers. I never answer but it bugs me they can call and disturb me. These callers never identify themselves for the caller id function of my phone.
