Got a call today from some young man- "Hi, are you the business owner ?"
me (warily):"yes, who is this?" male: "This is Trey, I'm an SEO analyst. How are you today?"
me (honestly): "frustrated. What's an SEO analyst?" male: "oh, why are you frustrated ?"
me: "Because you're being vague & evasive. What's this about?"
male: "well, YOU'RE being rude and obnoxious--" at which point I hung up on the [***].
tried calling back to talk to his employer, but the phone just rang about 12 times & then a recorded female voice said "No one is available to take your call."
Keeps calling. Asks for my mother. When I say "not available" (she lives in another state) they say thanks, we will call later. Do not respond to any questions as to what the call is about.
me too. They called and then hung up as soon as they heard my voice. What kind of scam is this? Are they checking to see if the number is active so they can sell it??
The number traces to somewhere in Pittsburg. One sight wanted to sell me the information on the number for either $12 or $24 but I wasn't willing to spend the money....not yet at least. If they repeat call me, I will pay for the information and sue them breaking the Do Not Call Registry.
I'm starting to wonder if some of these calls aren't meant to make us seek out the callers identity and perhaps pay the $$$ to the websites offering to tell us who they are.....?? just sayin'
