This guy called me asking how I like the Xoom money sending website I had recently signed with. I mentioned I hadn't used it yet and he asked me why not. I said I lived in Hawaii, and he said something garbled that I sounded like they don't work with that country. When I called the number back, I got a voice mail saying< "this is Jack. Please leave your name and number and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I called many times for about 20 minutes and actually got threw to "Jack" who continued to purport he worked for Xoom, while I heard another person seemingly on a phone call too, like a phone bank. He tried to get me to do a transaction and i said I'd just said I'd use the website. I called Xoom and they said that they are not familiar with this phone number, so ignore the call. I expressed concern as to how my phone number got from the Xoom website to this guy - was it by hacking or by someone working at Xoom since both are in the San Francisco Bay area!! The Xoom person said they forward the issue to someone.
