I get calls from these nut cases all the time. They like to play with their phones I guess. Among other things.

call to my limited minutes cell phone. no message left.

She wanted to renew my id protection.  When i told her it was taken care of she called me a liar.  I told her I don't do business over the phone.  She was rude and snotty.  any ID protection I may have doesn't need to be renewed.  Just wanted my information.  

I got a call today from a lady claiming that my identity theft insurance protection that I have had for two years is about to expired and that I would get a $100 gift card for renewing today.  I said well the institution should be the one to contact and notify to renew.  She went on to say that is why she is calling.  I asked here which bank was she representing, she said all of them.  All bank accounts and credit cards.  Correct me if I am wrong but when you open and account or credit line, you have the option to purchase insurance through them or decline.

I then proceed to asked what I needed to do and she said she will need to take a payment from me to pay the renewal.  I told her absolutely not.  The bank can take that payment from my credit line if that was the case.  

I then asked her does she have some documentation that I have this insurance with them, she said yes but it will take a while to receive by mail but I could get the gift card if I renew today.  I told her I rather not worry about gift card and just review the docs.  She said okay and hung up.  When she did that, I knew then I was not getting anything as she did not even verify my address.  When I dialed the number back, it was a disconnected number.  Go figure.  She was only after obtaining personal information.

Beware folks

rude callers call all the time mentioning a Fraud Protection company - watch out they are rude and nuts
