Got an automated call from this number saying that my debit card has been inactivated and to press "one" to further information. I pressed one and then the automated call started skipping and I couldn't understand it and I hung up. Sounds very suspicious to me. I went and called the number and it's a hotel...The Airport Inn, I believe he said. I told the guy that I just received a call from this number most likely wanting financial information from me. He didn't understand much English and got really defensive on the phone. He then starts asking me "what is your credit card number ma'am?" I tried to explain to him over and over again that "no, there is no credit card # involved, I believe someone may be in your establishment trying to scam people out of money and just wanted you to be aware of that." He got mad at me for calling him and said "I don't know why people are calling me" and told me to call my bank or call the police. I told him that the police are not going to do anything on my end, but perhaps if he called they could track this person down. Then he asked for my credit card # again. Not sure if there was really a communication issue or if he was acting like he didn't understand what I was trying to tell him.

BTW...I think they got my number through Craigslist. This phone number is only 2 months old and I haven't given it out to too many people. I did, however, list it on Craigslist for some merchandise I was selling recently in written out form. It's a shame that these people have no respect for anybody else. Bad karma people...bad karma.
