I think this is a tricky collections company that specializes fact finding.
The caller ID said Auto Leaders 407-792-6137 and I was going to tell them I’m on the ‘Do Not Call” list, as I usually do when I get a telemarketer.
They said someone from the "American Water Quality Association" was going to be in my area testing water and if I booked an appointment for a home water test, I would receive a $100 Wal-mart or Target gift card. I’ve wanted to get my water tested and so, unfortunately, I took the bait. BAD MOVE! I made the appointment and then they transferred me to an appointment setter and they recorded the call. They wanted to verify I owned my home, and how long I’ve been there, and who else lived here etc. The appointment was for the next day. They didn’t show up for the appointment and I received no other calls.
This phone number also called me with the following other caller ID numbers: v60612044400039 and v60412012600039. When I checked back over my other calls I noticed that I kept getting calls with no one on the phone and the same strange caller ID format that always started with a “v”.
Other caller ID numbers: v06081235200024 with phone 386-524-0114
I know there have been others, but I didn’t answer and they didn’t leave a message.
I’ve also found that exchange 792 is managed by Level 3 Communication, LLC out of Orlando, FL from the following IP addresses: 66.249.67.102, 97.100.38.55.
I’m surprised this worked on me, but with the economy, the collections agencies are getting more tricky.
