Just received the following voicemail (Hello my name is Troy. I'm the chief military liaison for Silent Soldier. My job is to find one exclusive real estate agent to direct veterans and their families to, for their real estate needs. Please call me back at 1-844-383-8387. Thank you and I'll look forward to your call.) Made my heart skip a beat at first as I have 2 sons active military. Did not call the number back that he left in his voicemail (844-383-8387) nor the number the call came from (480-584-4712)
I am a Realtor in MD and this person "claimed" to be a Combat VET. I work in Maryland with many Veterans, this was a typical scam using the VET status as a ploy to obtain my CC # for a business, really? I don't need a nasty, smartass with an attitude, a true Veteran is an honorable person that appreciates anything you do for them and they deserve the best service. This person is doing a terrible dis- service to ALL VETERANS and should be stopped.
Someone just called me and I'm a Realtor - he told me he was a Vet and they needed Realtors for referrals in my area blah blah blah. He asked if I had time to look up something on the computer and I said (nicely & semi-joking) "as long as it doesn't cost me any money", and he got offended and said he hated when people treated him this way. I said "well, I have no idea who you are, we get calls like this all the time" and he just said "have a nice day" and hung up. That's either strange because you'd think a Vet wouldn't be so touchy and understand that we don't know if he is or isn't - or it's a scam....
