Got a call from this number and a woman who claimed to be from "motor vehicle registration" or something to that effect. She said that her records showed no maintenance insurance and blathered on about a Dodge Dakota (my boyfriend's car) and the first actual question she asked was "What is the mileage on this vehicle?"
I told her that "Dodge Dakota" wasn't enough information and I needed a name. She gave me hers. I then requested that she name the OWNER of the vehicle and she did so, correctly. When I said he wasn't in and was this a good number for him to call her back, she said very quickly, "No, I'll call HIM back." and hung up.
Scam certainly fits the bill in my opinion...the caller ID only said "Baton Rouge, La." which would be where any motor vehicle registration would come from, I suppose, so it might just take some folks in...
