My partner got a call this morning showing my name on his caller ID. When he answered the call, a female voice asked him if he wanted enhanced credit. Before he could ask her why she was using a number showing my name, she hung up. The call back number was (609) 208-6575 but that number activated my name as it is on my partner's phone contacts list.
My number is from a different area code and I have never had a (609) number.
It looks like the was:
1. A phishing operation from someone trying to get some personal financial data to steal identity.
2. A tech-crazy thief or robocall criminal that found a way to tap into other people's contacts list.
Later, when I called the number back there was a robo-voice responder that said: "Hello, none of our reps are available now..." then asked to press 1 "to be added to the Do Not Call list."
I have had someone else tell me about 3 months ago that my name showed up on their caller ID but with a number unknown to me.
Does anyone know what technology the caller has used and what they want. I am about to report the number to the Attorney General and the FTC for fraud against me and undeserved harassment.
