I run a home business and got a call from this number on my business line. I generally don't answer that phone before I open for the day, so when this call came in at 8:53 this morning I let it go straight to voicemail. Whoever it was didn't leave a message. So as I always do before calling anyone back, I googled the number. And what do I come across is this very page. Maldwyn's response makes me think better not call this person back. Don't need those kinds of clients.
Man on the other end, who sounded like a telemarketer, asked for someone who didn't exist, then hung up. Looks like a scammer to me. Other searches say this is from Branson MO
Got this message today that was left on our answering machine: "This is Lisa, I'm calling from the offices of Mr. John Taylor. Mr Taylor needs to verify information with you regarding a file that has been referred to this office. You need to call him directly, his number is 866-852-2187 and he will be available today until 7pm. Again it is important that you return Mr. John Taylor's call at 866-852-2187. Thank you." It didn't mention who they were calling for or leaving message for. The # that showed on my caller ID was 417-213-3042, but was asked to call the above # directly. I did not call either number back, reported it to the National Do Not Call website, and contacted the Sheriff's office to file a complaint.
I got a call from this today, twice. It rings and quickly hangs up with no voice mail. I call it back and I get a recording "extension zero zero zero six is unavailable". I hang up so it sounds like a business.
