Got a call this am from this number asking me if I wanted to bid a 500 sf floor install ( Im a stone/tile contractor in San Diego ,( 858 is a local prefix) for the callers boss. He wanted to know first if I could accept a credit card for the work though.I told him I wasnt set up for that , he said thanks and hung up. Aprox 1 hour later I get a call from the SAME number asking me if I wanted to set up an account to accept credit cards!!. I was distracted as I was on hold with paypal ( because of the orig call ) trying to set up a credit card account with them so they could /would send me a reader for my phone to accept cards. ( In 25 plus years maybe 5 times Ive been asked if I accept credit cards). I asked the caller to email the info. I called the number to see if the same guy who called at first answered ( didnt get a name though) so I could quiz what this ( seemingly scam) was about. He played dumb and asked for both my business numbers so he could "check " who may have called me. ( sounded like same guy by the way) , and after trying both numbers said those number weren't called by them. Obviously he was lying , so I cussed him out ( understandably i had to vent) , told him not to call again and hung up.
Caller ID showed V731123520000042 above the phone number that called.
When I picked up the phone, I heard a strange "plink" sound and a computer that said "goodbye"
Anyone else have this happen?
I received a call from this number and I was offered merchant card processing. These people change the caller ID from the same number. Caller ID was Out of Area.

Just got a call from someone named Ryan from Total Merchant Services. Wanted to speak to my boss. He left me his number and ext. 717. Needless to say, I will not be giving my boss this message.
