Received phone call from the so called number of 310-154-8795 which I answered. They asked for a male relative by name to which I replied with " who can I tell him is calling?" Caller replied with, " is he home? " To which I replied with, " What is this in regards to? " The caller then said, " well it sounds like you're having a really bad day so I'm just going to hang up now." And they did. Saved me the trouble of hanging up on them.
Bottom Line, I don't identify myself to anyone until I know who I am speaking to. Even if they ask for me by my name, I still say, " who can I tell her is calling please? " If they can't Identify themselves, then it's probably a scam. If there is a "legitimate" phone number displaying in caller ID, then I report it to the Do Not Call website.
Fight Back, waste their time like they are wasting yours and NEVER Identify yourself until you know who you are speaking to.
