They called and said they were with The Atlantic Magazine. Said they had a 3-year renewal offer. Sounded good so I said sure. Repeated all my personal information back to me including wife's name to "confirm" the mailing before transferring me to the "supervisor". The guy asked for my credit card number, told him never mind, he asked why I'd changed my mind, said I suddenly felt I couldn't trust him, he asked why I'd wasted his employee's time (anger in his voice), then I hung up.
This is a spoofed number. It is not necessarily from where the Area Code would indicate. First time I got a call from this number, it rang through (instead of being intercepted) so I punched "Talk" but said nothing. The woman asked for me by name, but I told her there was no one here by that name and she hung up on me. I reported it as a probable robotically dialed number.
Two hours later, two hours after that, and again at 11:40 the next morning that number called again, but each of these times it was a one-ring, intercepted by the service I subscribe to that does that to numbers dialed in that way. I know it to be spoofed because (calling back with ID blocked) I get the message "The number you have called is not in service."
