Just got a call from this #. Caller ID said "SAMIS COMPANY". Don't know anyone from that area code so I didn't pick up. After the answering machine picked up I heard a young man's voice go "Hello? Hellllooooo?...Hello?" a few times. It sounded like there was chatter going on in the background as if it was a call center in India or something like that. Yet I googled the number and turns out it belongs to an insurance company in Toronto. Why I would be getting a random call from an insurance company in Canada (I live in the US), with which I am unfamiliar, I have no idea. The past few days I've been getting calls from a similar number (with the last 4 digits being zeroes) in Maryland, which Google told me was also an insurance company. I am assuming that these numbers are being spoofed by scammers.
Has anyone else been getting calls like this? I wonder if these specific companies should be contacted and made aware that their numbers are being spoofed.
