This 424-702-1455 is the number for investor relations. Nothing to do with
ordering parts so far a I can see. Or claims. Other sites report
information fishing. Request for SS numbers and so forth.
This number has a history of being used for scammery purposes. Now
it appears that it's being shilled as well.
THEY CALL AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, IF YOU ASK THEM WHO THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY WANT THEY GIVE A PERSONS NAME TRY TO ACT LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
They claim to be translating for a hearing impaired person. Last year I got a similar call and it turned out to be a scam. They were going to send a car to my shop and I was to take payment off of a phoned in credit card and they would send a car on a wrecker and I was to give the wrecker driver a check for the overage amount. The call was later determined to be from overseas possibly Kenya.
2 calls 10 minutes apart from nice sounding oriental ladies?
both asked if we allow for customer installed parts. It sounded a little fishey so I said no. They continued asking other questions like what we charge per hour etc. The 1st one said she was calling for someone else & she would have the other person call even though I indicted we would not install her parts. The second lady called acting as if she was a customer basically asking the same type of questions. I asked her if she was the same lady that just called & she said no & she sounded as if she thought it was odd that I had just gotten a similar call. She persisted however & after telling her we would not install her parts she still wanted to set up an appointment for Fri.
I finally just told her I did not think this was going to work out to which she sadly replied, "Ok I guess I'll just have to find another shop".
My guess is there looking for desperate shops by asking if you will let them bring there own parts & then set up appointment, figure a way to get your information for them to "make a payment to your account" , more likely to take a payment once they have the info they need or work out an arrangement described by PJ.
