got a call from this number twice today...hung up on me as soon as I answered both times.The name with it said "student success".I've been getting these calls alot lately from scammers and con-artist.make sure if you do talk to them to ask what company they are with,their name,and while you are talking to them look up the # on here.
reported the calls to the police, and the cop said that it's probably a scam from south africa forwarded through an american number. he advised not to give out any information and not even to pick up the phone. he said it may be possible that the person on the other end is taking some information from your phone as long as you're connected.
the cop also said that the other numbers in town that reported such calls were not local numbers (i.e. they moved here). interestingly, i recently did a big move, and i, when looking for a place on craigslist, had to deal with a bunch of scammers from west africa. i gave my number out before realizing it. wondering if anyone else has such a possible connection.
got the same call several times myself on my mobile phone never answered and not a message left either time. how do they get your mobile l number anyway????
