This call took the form of a legal threat. The caller asked for my landlord by name, as my phone is registered to my landlord's name, and in a thick Indian accent quickly ran through a spiel that threatened "crime investigation" reports would be "downloaded" to some courts if he did not call back to address the matter with Mr. Watson. I returned the call and informed the person who answered, (not Mr. Watson, deeper voice, slightly different but still Indian accent), that this was not a number where my landlord's name could be reached, and the line went "dead", not as in disconnected, but as in open, no one there. I called back, and was interrupted by this same person with "Thank you!" when I attempted to finish my original communication. Again, the line went "dead", open with no one there. I called back a third time, and the phone rang a few times, paused as if switching to a different line, rang a few times more, then picked up to the sounds of a busy office, but no person on the line. Then it switched again, and a loud musical note came through the line, as if the final note on an operatic song. I hung up and tried one last time. The phone rang many times, and no one ever picked up. I knew from the start this was a scam call, but was unable to gather anymore information.
