Just got a call from this number - a woman identified herself as from either Plainly or Pointly University (could not tell with the accent), and said she was calling because I responded to something in regards to furthering my education. I had, but it was for the American Library Association's Library Support Staff Certification Program - I played along, thinking maybe this had something to do with that. She asked when I wanted to further my education and gave me ridiculously short time-frames (1-3 months or 3-6 months - gee, wouldn't you think I would have it set up by now?!). When I said that was the educational advancement I was looking for, she sounded confused, and transferred me to an "education specialist" who asked the same questions (what field and what time frame), gave me a website to check (edutrek.com - which looks legit, some sort of aggregator website) and ended the call. I cannot find anything at all about a University of this name, and looking up the number said it was from the Atlanta area (I am in the Chicago area).
