"john" with a heavy heavy heavy accent from "salt lake city, utah" representing "I D Watch" started a brief conversation with me...asking if i was fifty years old or older. I aked who he was, where he was calling from, and what was a telephone number that i could verify his statements....he hung up on me. Obviously a scam on older people. These people are criminals!!!! Please stop them.
The more you answer these calls, the more they will call you. Answering just proves there is a live person on the other end. Reporting these numbers to http://www.fcc.gov/complaints wont have any effect until a huge number of people complain ... and then they will just get a different number. Safest bet? Don't answer any calls that are not in YOUR area code. If they are legit, they will leave a voice mail.
Since I don't answer ANY caller's name or number that I do not recognize, I allowed this scammer to go to voicemail -- where they promptly hung up without leaving a message. The caller ID showed SECURE ID. What a freakin' joke!!! My advice to ALL others... please do NOT answer ANY calls from ANY person or number you do NOT know.
Got a call from this number today - figured it was a scam (as everyone is pointing out below) so I did not answer. This one also came from the Atlanta Area code, but it Said "Secure ID" rather than some of the others folks have listed in these posts. Thank you all for keeping this site updated!
