Giving or forwarding this "Richard's" info may not be the way to go - as many scammer's can spoofed the phone number they're calling from, and this Richard person might be just another innocent victim, like you. Now that you've given out his info however, he's probably getting harassed much worse than you.
Scammer. Automated message for Get Rich Quick scheme: "Press 1 to find out how to put $10,000 or more in your pocket every 10-14 days. This will blow your mind!" ... blah blah blah.
I'm on the Do Not Call registry. *sigh* Thankfully, my phone allows me to block numbers.
