They called me the other day. The ID said "OZARK MTN VACAT," which I am assuming (as the name wasn't complete) meant Ozark Mountain Vacations. Either way, we have NEVER signed up for anything from them, and therefore should not be receiving calls from them. We don't even live near the Ozarks! If they call again, they're getting a piece of my mind, whether they like it or not.
But yes, it is just a scam. Have you ever thought about the information that can be acquired just by entering a phone number? I bet they have some system set up that you call back to have your number removed, and it puts your information into their computers. Remember, most people have Caller ID, and even if you block your number, your information still goes out when YOU call THEM. The number may not show up, but it still sends out data about your number...
My advice: do NOT call them back EVER! That is basically like the three little pigs INVITING the wolf into their brick house...
Phone calls with no one on line. Reverse lookup showed information but you had to pay to get it. This is just a scam to get you to pay a fee to find out who is calling.

Got a call from them tonight. The guy was pleasant, his name was Richard and clearly reading from a script inviting me to Branson Mo. for a few days for 150 bucks and a tour of the development. He was polite so I listened but would not give him the credit card. I might go down there though, I hear its preety nice in Branson and the guy was nice on the phone. I'll check with the wife when she gets home from work.
