Left a message saying I was about to be arrested for 5 criminal charges! Lol! Said if I didn't call back, all they could do is wish me luck. Sheesh. Call is from New York -- I live in Utah.
I got a call at 9:30pm. When I saw the number I knew it was from New York and thought it was my female cousin who's originally from Texas calling me, but the voice when I answered was male and also foreign (I think middle east but I'm not sure) I knew that it was no one I knew. So I wasn't paying as much attention as I though that if I just asked who he was calling for I would get the typical opps, sorry, wrong number thing. But no, I got something about a travel agency and always booking with them or something like that. When I tried to say that he had a wrong number, I got was that the number was correct. So I tried asking who he was calling for and got more about the travel agency. This repeated a couple of times. Each time I asked who he was calling for he refused to state the name. My name isn't that hard to say if I was who he was trying to call. So I got frustrated and started raising my voice. That had him saying that I didn't need to raise my voice and that I was who he was trying to talk to. The he said something about filling out paperwork for something to do with a travel agency. To that I replied that I have never booked anything from a travel agency in my entire life and that he had a wrong number. At that he finally got the message and hung up.
This is definitely a spammer and is very aggravating to deal with. Also there kept being breaks in between when he talked that were silent before the slight static that was in the background when he talked. It made me feel like the call was getting transferred to Buffalo New York from wherever he was.
Got the call this morning at 9:05am and answered. I cut the guy off and said no thank you and to remove my number. He hung up. Called the number back at 9:06am and got a disconnection notice. Total scam. Charleston, SC.
Received a call from this number on 4-23-14 at 7:32 pm. I didn't answer and they left no message. I'm in Charleston, SC. I noticed someone else from Charleston, SC (White Shamrock) also received a call from this number about the same time frame. Interesting that originally calls seemed to be focused in the same geographical area (Indy) for a time then switched to another (Chas, SC).
I don't know how they got the numbers. I don't fill out forms for prizes, giveaways, etc., and I have not used Craigslist in over a year.
