Never answer the phone. You are just confirming there is a live person in posetion of this phone. The sell your number to other scammers. Especially the ones that press "9".
And no.......I didn't give them my social. They got that from a phising email from pay pal saying my transaction would not go through unless i updated my profile. Never click on the links in an email.........Lesson learned......Too late. I hope you all can learn from my sad experince. It takes months of writing letters...........Its easier to just not answer!!! Trust me!!!
