I was given a cell phone for Christmas and have only given my phone number to a limited number of people. Since then I have received three calls from this number. Knowing the people to whom I have given my number, and none of them being from Atlanta, GA, I have not answered the calls. I felt certain that it was someone trying to scam.
They call several times a day and all that is left on my answering machine is hello, hello, heloo, form a foreign speaking woman and you can hear other callers in the background doing the same. I have never answered and nor will I ever answer if they can't tell me who they are...SCAM!!!

Received a call from them today. The woman said she was calling me to discuss my recent auto loan application placed into their site, roadloans.com. I let them know I had not requested any such service, and had not requested any loans in years, and she politely said she will not call me again and said goodbye.
I called back a few hours later (just to see what would happen). A guy picked up quickly and said (in a very happy way) "Hi Jeff. This is YadaYada. Thank you for calling back Credit Services to discuss your recent car loan application." I told him it was not me. He said Ok, we said our goodbyes, and we hung up.
It was interesting to hear how quick he picked up and how polite they were, and they casually talked to me by name.. Obviously their phone system is tied to their marketing system providing my name and such. But if I didn't already know it was a scam/BS, I can see how many many people would fall right into whatever scam they are running.
