| 1142491 | 2010-10-08 01:59:00 | The call lasted for about 5 mins and I was aware from the very start that this could be a scam and was waiting for them to ask me for my credit card number. Even the background sounds were as if it was coming from a call centre with other people talking in the background. :) |

| 1142493 | 2010-12-16 01:32:00 | My wife just had a call similar to Trev's. Saying she was due a refund of overcharged fees, but was offered a cheque to be payed to our address. They stated the address & asked her to confirm it & said they would sent it out. Five minutes later they called again & I got the call. They asked for my wife & I asked if this was a scam, silence, when I asked for their contact details they hung up. I am hopping they don't have enough info to do their thing & the second call was to get that. |

| 1142495 | 2010-12-16 02:29:00 | I built a little circuit that hooks up the phone jack to my sound card input. Unfortunately none of these clowns ever ring up so I never get a chance to use it!! |

| 1142498 | 2010-12-16 08:16:00 | Last time I had a (legitimate) phone call from someone saying they worked at my bank, I asked them to tell me the last 4 digits of my customer number to verify that they were who they said they were. | somebody (208) | ||
