I received a phone call today from this number. He asked for me. He said that he is calling, because I called them and was interested in car insurance and he is calling me back with a quote. I said no I didn't who is this. He said some made up name. I said I never heard of you and take me off your list. He said sorry and goodbye. Then 3 hours later he called back and my husband answered. He asked my husband if I was there. My husband said, who is this. The guy asked him if I wanted car insurance. Scary, because he called my cell and he knew my name. UGH! This is a Denver, CO number that called.
I got a call this morning from a lady with a hispanic accent asking me to verify information for healthcare benefits. I asked her what benefits and what company. I think she said Medicare. I told her I did not have Medicare and she insisted that it would only take a minute and wanted to transfer me to someone else. I told her I did not know what she was talking about and hung up on her. She immediately called me back; however, I did not answer. I would bet this person is a thief and is involved in stealing someones identity. I am going to report this number to the authorities and I suggest you do the same.
Just got a call at 10:47 am (CST). Didn't answer. No message. Attempted to call back after reading this information. As I was calling the number called back (10:51 am). I answered. Female, Middle-eastern accent. She asked for me by name, but unlike many calls where I will let a person start their pitch, I told her that I had done an internet search on this phone number and was not interested in anything that was being sold. She said to wait and listen to her, but I told her that I wasn't interested. I politely asked her to remove my name from the calling list and not call back again. Not sure where our personal numbers are getting shared, but I am getting more and more angry at these solicitations.
I registered with the Do Not Call List about a month ago, but that hasn't seemed to stop calls coming in. I don't frequent strange sites on the internet, nor do I ever fill forms out with my cell phone number. I just don't know who is hacking/selling this info.
