Called every day from 7/13 through 7/16. Calling in the evenings during the week, but afternoons during the weekend. Today (7/16, Sunday) I picked up hoping to have some fun with them A female voice that sounded like a 1930s movie -- the kind where the operator always said "number, please" -- asked for William XXXX where XXXX = my last name. There has never been a William XXXX at this number, so I challenged the caller: "Who is calling. Identify yourself." Apparently the scammer with the bad database didn't want to,
When I tried calling back, after checking the frequency of the number, I just got a busy signal. No surprise -- it's a spoofed number. The actual number "7727165:4803768" looks like a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), so I suspect it was an overseas scammer. Next time I'll be William and see what I can learn . . . if there is a next time.
