Creepy Number: 360-322-6397
Krike! I heard the same thing. Except I think I may have screwed up cause I went ahead and followed the instructions! YIKES!
Ok, so it's like this:
1. IF the recording was legitimate, then they'll put me on their, "no call list", and I'll never hear back from them again. Right, however,
2. OR,
a. I just verified my phone number, so they'll continue to call me. Eeek! or,
b. Now that they have a verified number, they'll sell it to other scammers/companies for money!
See, it began when I called the number back to find out who called me since they didn't leave a message. The recording said the following:

So what do y'all think? Did I fork up, or did I safely spoon?
More then likely the calls will get worse since you just verified a live number.. ROT, don't answer numbers you don't know, do not press any buttons, pick it up and hang it up as quickly as possible of your close enough to catch it first ring. Don't let it go to the answering machine either.
