Caller was male, with a thick Indian accent. We've been plagued by scam calls for months, all of the callers with Indian accents (99% of them "debt consolidation", 1 was the Microsoft scam) so as soon as he said, "Hello Mrs. *lastname*" I interrupted with "Name and address of your company, please." He immediately hung up on me.
If it was a call from a legit company, he would have had no issue giving me the information. So it's probably the same old scam, under a new fake number. Don't give them any of your info. Just ask for the name and address of the company and hopefully they'll hang up on you too.

Yes, I just received a call from this person as I was listening to my local news talk about the "do not call list" does not work anymore & the government is offering a prize of $10,000 to anyone who comes up with a solution to get rid of these obnoxious calls. Accordidng to the news report, the scammers are always able to stay a step ahead of the government & I guess the government doesnt have anyone smart enough to come up with the solution to stop this or, as I see it, they dont have the money to enforce this law.I'm sure the government has the capability to track down these people just from them calling. If they REALLY want to track someone, they can, but there is no monetary gain for them if they go to the trouble, so we (tax payers) ar eat the mercy of these scammers.
