Now that makes sense. They called about a warranty on a leased car I traded in 18 months ago. And I had SiriusXM radio on that car. I have blocked the phone number but would love to find an attorney that would make these scam artists pay since I'm on the Do Not Call List and I have never had any business relationship with these people. Even though I have blocked the call, I can still see when they call, it just doesn't ring.
Call and Hang-up I travel to NJ area frequently for business and I always get weird call when I connect into the local network. Makes you wonder if somebody is targeting "out-of-network" users?
I've been in Telecom 30 years. Regulatory rules are changing, so I don't know how much of this scammers are getting away with, but, maybe you won't get billed for calling back, but whoever manages that number could be getting a kick back from YOUR provider for accepting the call. It used to be called reciprocal compensation where providers pay each other to accept the call from you and terminate to the number you are calling and vice versa. Moral of the story as already said here, don't call back, and even if they leave a message, call back with caution, could still be a scam. For example, if you get a call from your bank or credit card, do call that number back or any number they leave, call the number on your bank statement or your credit card to be sure it was actually your bank or credit card calling.
