This started last week with a number [419-884-5060]calling my home several times a day. I finally answered on my day off knowing from an internet search it was some sweepstakes magazine scam. Debbie called looking for Levahn? I informed her there has never been a Levahn at this number. They asked for my name and I lied and said Jim. They then said I had a chance to win some exciting sweepstakes and that they were based out of Indiana. She then asked if I had a credit card for with the visa or MasterCard logo. WHOA! I said I had just opened an account at Wood Forrest in wall-mart and was to get a car but wasn't sure what kind it would be. She clearly became rude and informed me that they were no longer intereted in my number for these uses.
One day later I'm laying in bed and 877-888-3124 calls looking for Jim. I inform her there is no Jim here and smile to myself. She asks if I would be interested in obtaining information about education. I inform her that I am "Finished with college." She quickly and rudely hung up.
Clearly these 2 numbers are affiliated or at least selling my number to eachother and maybe others. I will be careful how I proceed so they do not prank me.
Thanks for that info they keep calling me as well on my cell. I believe I put my phone on a do not call list. I wonder if I can call the ftc about this?
