• Telephone Solicitor Scam 407-965-0600

    I just got a call from 407-965-0600 see also:
    http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-407-965-0600

    They mentioned that they were offering free packages to the bahamas.
    As soon as the operator answered, I asked "what's the name of your company?" He refused to answer, and asked what my name was.

    I asked again, "what's the name of your company?". At this point the guy hung up.

    In my opinion, even if this wasn't a scam, I would be very suspicious of a telephone solicitor who calls and won't give his company name.

    When you get called by a phone solicitor, it's a really good idea to get their company name and where they're located. If they don't want to give that information to you, you should report them to www.phonebusters.com

    It's amazing that the url i listed above is complaining about the exact same thing.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    This is why it's important to be careful even with collection agency companies. If you don't know who the person is who's calling, you should verify with a third party who's calling. The third party, in the case of a collection agency, could be Provincial Justice Department Consumer Protection.

I live in the West of England and, like other poeple, I received a call from 04079-650600 on 3 Dec.
I am also ex-directory and TPS registered.
I guess they have an auto dial system which dials a batch of number sequentially and it does not know who they are dialling.

If the RCMP does not get them the SAS will.
