I got this call today & my caller ID says Unknown Name.  These scammers could put anything as the ID name, sometimes even put the phone number as the ID in place of a name.  So beware.

It's too bad that 800notes.com don't have the word "Scammer" under the list of Call Type.

We got the call around 8 pm today.  Don't know the number.  It did not leave message.

Answered the call and was asked for me by name. Then clicks and nothing.

Their call makes my phone ring even though my ringer is off.  Wonder how they do that.  Blocked it.

Called landline - no message left.
