I got a call from 706-234-8887, and a lady that sounded Indian (maybe) said she was taking a survey for oil and gas companies and had 2 questions. She wanted to know if I was a resident of GA, and I said yes. Then she asked if my net worth was over $1MM. I said maybe, and she said "is that a yes?". I said maybe again, then I said "this is weird" and she hung up. The caller ID said Harold Jones, so I searched that name and the phone number. The person appears to be a pastor or an accountant or a lawyer according to my search, and the phone number is associated with the accountant, but it sure sounded suspicious to me. I shouldn't have answered since it's not a person or phone number that I'm familiar with. I hope to see if others get similar calls from this number, which may well have been spoofed. I can't imagine why somebody would ask those questions unless maybe they're up to no good.
