They called again! This time I picked up. A male voice on the other end I could not understand, heavy accent. He said he was calling from the United States Government. Then he went into some five minute long explanation of something that I didn't understand at all. When I asked him to please repeat, he got very angry! He said you will get $500 a month for the next 6 months as a tax refund. I laughed and told him I did not believe him. That is when he got super pissed! He was so mad, started spitting his words out. He said fine whatever. The funniest thing is that he said God Bless. Obviously did not mean that! I hope God blesses him though... He was a confused man!
This number just called me on my cell. Said they were calling from Matrix Media, that I had expressed an interest in starting my own business. It took me four tries to interrupt the Indian-accented caller before he began to listen to me tell him I had NOT expressed an interest in starting my own business, that I had expressly stated I did NOT want calls from third parties, and that I wanted my information removed from their system. I'm assuming it's a telemarketing company who has multiple clients requiring outbound and inbound calls. It had better stop.
Additional information...people who own the phone number are Kmc Telecom V, Inc.-nj. KMC, it seems, has a standard M.O. throughout the country, if I'm reading online info correctly. They apply for permission to offer local and interstate phone service with Public Service Commissions in each state. After fulfilling requirements with each state, they operate for 2 to 3 years and then request cancellation of authorizations saying that they no longer have reportable income or customers. I have found this so far for four separate states, but with as many pages as I found with info on this company, I'll bet it's far more. Their homebase is in Georgia. My guess is they run these scams and operate as a phone company so they can provide telephone service specifically for these scam businesses and then move on before being detected as having a connection.
Caller Name: caller said Matrix Media, but I found "Kmc Telecom V, Inc.-nj"
Caller Type: Telemarketer
I received 3 phone calls from this number today. The first 2 times thte line went dead when i answered the phone. The 3rd call, someone spoke with an Asian accent and made abscene comments. He never gave his name and the number comes up private. I put a report in with Verizon.
Ever since I called their number and got the option to remove my number from their system, the calls are all coming in as "private" or "unavailable". Exactly the same sales pitch (you expressed an interest in starting your own business - bull!), but done with illegally blocked names and numbers. The only thing they removed was their identity. They need to be reported to the FCC before they skip town like they have in other states!!!
