This call came in a little after 3 PM with an ID of Angleton Texas. I felt like it was probably not a legitimate call because the area code was not Angleton but from College Station – Bryan area. Normally I would not have answered but with the Bryan area code and expecting a call from a medical service I did answer. The other he and started talking about calling from the Texas JC's but I shut them down and said that I did not do any business over the phone and hung up.
