The internet is littered with scam calls with caller id "Abadi Dave" (some in all caps), using perhaps hundreds of different phone numbers. Further, a search of 411.com show 27 entries under the name Dave Abadi. I started checking the addresses using Google Maps and discovered all are probably fake addresses, many pointing to empty lots, commercial building, factories, movie theaters, or the centers of intersections (street numbers like 500, 1700, 100, are generally non-existent). One non-x00 number pointed to an empty lot in a near empty trailer court, many did not have street view, and one was in the middle of what appeared to be farm country. These listings also show phone numbers but I suspect they may be fake as well.
Thus, all of these Abadi Dave entries appear to be fake seeded entries to make it difficult to track down the perpetrators of these scam calls. Also, there are many entries on LNKEDLIN for Abadi Dave, all of which I also suspect as fake seeded entries (most are foreign, which probably cannot be verified).
This whole thing appears to be a coordinated effort, typically called a consipiracy in legal terms. Enough complaints to the proper authorities could put a crimp in their style.
