Similar story here...First NCW leaves an 877 # for me to call them back on, and after an exhausting battle with them this evening...THEY call my cell # back, leaving no message this time, with caller ID showing an unpublished Buffaly ,NY # (716-748-7252)...after researching AND notifying the police, I see that it is the same company/ scam.
Helpful Hint: Don't ask them for their address to verify their legitimacy...you will get the hang up. Between my husband and I, we probablly got at least 5-6 hang-up's when we asked for a POB address for them. The best line they had was to tell us was, "I don't like you." We are still lauging at that one.
I had previously posted this under a "877-245-6424" thread....but thought I would share here as well....
***************************************************
I have been recvg messages to my home # x2 weeks, from a woman identifying herself as "Sr. Investigator" looking for a "James C.". This evening I called the # to attempt to notify her that she was calling the wrong # and to request that she stop her annoying calls. She claimed that she could not look up the case that I was referring to without providing her with my phone #. After much arguing back and forth, I began to realize that I was dealing with a possible scam. I explained that I was not comfortable providing her with my information--the info that she obviously already had. I was hung up on. I did immediately call back requesting to talk to someone other than the "Sr. Investigator". The man that I spoke to said, again, that he needed my hm # to look up my info. When I refused, he said, "I see that you are calling from (xxx)xxx-xxxx. Is this you hm #?" (you have got to be kidding with me!) When I inquired what kind of business "NCW" was, he stumbled around trying to avoid answering my question...very vague and non-commiting to any good explaination. He inquired if I was calling from California...again, if you have my caller ID #, you will see that I am not calling from Cali. After last ditch effort, I did give my hm #, and he said that he would stop the calls.
Please, please, be careful, all you who are recvg these calls!
