Just got a call on my cell that came up "blocked" message left from a Gerry. Googled number and found this page. I will not be calling them back thanks to all this helpful information. If I owe someone money then a reputable company can get in touch with me via USMail. Too many scams out there.
Jessie Wheeler called from this #. Caller ID said Private Name/Private Number. Called and used my wife's name and my name and last name. Asked us to call him back in regards to Jim Smith @ 903-790-5238. Did not leave a company name. I called and was greeted by, "Hello?" and not a company name. I asked for Jessie and the man said he had stepped out and he wanted to know what I needed. So I told him I was calling in regards to Jim Smith and that I did not know a Jim Smith. He kind of laughed and stumbled through some words and said that he was Jim Smith. He said (not in an official-type way) that I had a collection due from a hospital and that it was due Friday (not true). So I told him that was not true and he wanted to know my name. I gave him my first name and he wanted to know my last name. I told him I wanted to know who I was dealing with. He then became upset and said that if I didn't give him all the information he needed, he couldn't help me. I told him I didn't want his help...they called me!! He hung up...I called back. Went through the same thing practically. He wanted to know my full name and my wife's full name. I told him it sounded like he already had it and that I wanted to know his company name. He became hostile and said the same thing as last time and hung up... Be aware of some one calling from this number. They may have you and your spouses full name and # (obviously). DO NOT give them any information. I'm still trying to find out what kind of "company" this is.
Received a call last night on my cell it came up as Unknown Caller. A woman named Jerry said to call her at this number. That is all she said, didn't say what it was regarding. I tried to call back a couple of times today but just got an answering machine. Sounded like she said I had reached the offices of something Smith. I didn't leave a message, googled it and found this page. Seems if it was a legite business not only would they not block their number, but would leave a more professional message, would be open in the middle of the day and not calling after business hours.
Got a call last night from unknown number, i did not answer the phone and they left a message stating my name and said his name was James and to please return his call at this number and now it a recording that states "The offices of Crystal and Smith" Never a answer....
Me too. They have called me 2 times already. I knew by the message they left that it was a scam. Then they had the nerve to call back.I called the phone company and they said to call the police and report it. If they get enough complaints they will investigate it. I have even considered calling the news station to see if they will make it public so all these elderly people will not get ripped off.
Got the same call tonight and just get a message saying I have reached the offices of "Crystal and Smith"? Glad I looked this up. Maybe I will report to Sheriff's Dept.
