I ignored the call, then called back to get Kelly from University Degree Options. This is a direct result of a phony job posting on Craigslist.org in which I was directed to a 3rd party "application information" type site. At the end they catch you with the question "Are you considering furthering your education?" with the a subtitle to the effect that companies are more interested in employees who want more education. Naturally I clicked yes, as I didn't want to be disqualified, and then it hit me. Page after page of information blanks, but only after I forwarded them my entire resume, personal home/address/email and work history. In the past 4 weeks, I have received dozens of calls from other numbers that seem to have stemmed from this pile of fake job ads.
Same thing happened to me. I called back and there was a long pause of silence and then a lady (who sounded like she was from India) picked up saying "Ashley, thanks for calling" and asked if I was interested in furthering my education by going to college. The funny thing is that my number was blocked and I called back 4-5 hours later! I told her no and she hung up on me. I called back to tell her to take me off their list and she said okay and hung up again. I was trying to ask how they got my number but she had already hung up. After that, I didn't feel like calling them back again. Hopefully it ended there..
Called me 3 times today. first call shows up as 'caller unknown' on caller i.d. and no one is on the line if you answer (except static), then that call is followed an hour or so later by another call that shows up 'new york' 718-924-2742. then a lady answers and asks is this ......, then i blow a loud whistle in the phone. same thing happened again 3 times today, same procedure, except calls came from california 408-876-6341. i am retired and have plenty of time to play their silly games.
