I just received a call at work (came through the switchboard) from someone I think he said his name was James; claiming he was from the Chicago Citibank branch. He said he was calling about a mastercard that that has a "refuses to pay" on the acct? He stated a last name that sounds very much like mine -polish and not common. He asked if that was me; he also had my first name. I said no and that I didn't have a mastercard acct and what concerned me was how peculiar all this was. He asked if I knew anyone in Lake Forest b/c they were giving out my "info"? After I read the number 847-741-7841 back to him on the caller id - the call was disconnected. I called the nubmer back and it's busy busy busy. Do not take this statement offensive, this is just to help out, but I know the voice was older / african american male and sound very proper but monotone.
"Operations Division" kept calling insisting that the phone number they had called was my father-in-law! I kept telling them they had the wrong number and they guy just kept asking me questions. I then got an attitude and said if he did not stop calling and harassing me that I would call the police. Let's see how long the silence lasts! Sheesh!
Fortunately I've been missing their calls but tonight I tried calling back since it must be someone trying to get a hold of me, if they're calling on different days. All I got was a busytone. Now I'm wondering if I should just continue the calls or answer to tell them to leave me alone.
OR... if I never answer, they're just going to stop trying, right? If I answer, it will only confirm that this is a real number that they're trying to reach... hmmmm
