I just gave my number to an HP outsourced customer rep in india and then next day I start getting these calls.  I wonder if HP is making sure that outsourced companies are not sharing our info.  hmmmm has anyone else had a similiar experience?

I just recieved a call from my 14month long ex-room mate...the Arabic person (or so they sounded)Identifying himself as a personel of "HRLE" (a goverment services department in Canada)called, asked for me to which she replied I no longer lived there.  He proceeded to ask her personal questions like "Who was she?", "What relationship did she have to me" & "Where I currently was."  She told him that he should know these things and hung-up.  

He recalled 15mins later and asked her, "Alas Marline Knot's friend" if he could sing her a song to which she greatly declined to which he insisted that he was a good singer and he'd sing her a song in Arabic.  Being frightened she declined again and hung-up.

I see that it's a Connecticut number and that mostly random American's and a couple Canadian's have recieved similar calls from this person.  

If any of this sounds like your experience please leave a message, I'll be monitoring this board until I find out how they got such dead on personal information about me. Especially when I know that other that my name; I NO WHERE have my phone number or government information entered anywhere...I'm not a "Enter your name, address and phone number here, here & here and you have a 1 in 1,000th chance to win $1,000,000" kind of girl.  I do not even own a credit card to have ever even have possibly used one in a moment of weakness registering that kind of information online.

Any idea's?

Possible government hack?
Getting info through our IP Addresses? Chat programs?  MMORPG game sites?

If the intensions of this person/group is to terriorize, then I congratulate them on a job well done with me.  I can tell you that I'm a little more than concerned.

got a call today from this number - guys with heavy Spanish accents saying they are from my alarm company (dumpster divers who found an envelope in my blue box perhaps?) and were trying to sign me up for special monitoring rates.  Claimed they were calling from British Columbia, but the area code belongs to Connecticut.  I was uncooperative and they hung up.
