Claimed I had filled out a survey (but didn't know my name) and was from a company helping people to find local jobs but needed to as me some questions to see if I was eligible for the free service.
Sounds fishy to me.
Just got a call from this number (3:50pm PST) on my cell phone while at work. Did not answer as I was on the other line. Thankfully looked it up and found this! He seems to be a busy telemarketer/scammer today...
Just got a call from this number and almost answered it because its the area code and prefix of my hometown... no message left. glad I didnt answer it before looking on here.
Received a call from some guy named Brian, said he was with some company starting with a "W" and that he was trying to "verify" information about a survey I took recently for a free Walmart card and wanted to know if I was still looking for employment. When I said yes but I had moved, he repeated his question. This happened two more times with a clicky sound and a pause in between each Q/A. After his third attempt to get a solid answer about me still seeking employment, he tried telling me how he needed more information to verify the survey I took. At this point I hung-up... Two red flags went up for me - the clicky sound before and after the pause between Q/A and the fact that I NEVER give out my phone number when taking on/offline surveys. I also do not use my home address when filling out said surveys nor applying for employment online...I also don't use my personal e-mail address on employment applications...just for these reasons.
Lousy connection. He said he was calling because I indicated in a survey I was interested in job opportunities. I asked what survey and the connection faded then died out.
