In the last couple of weeks, I have been receiving repeated phone calls from 520-548-2486 on my work cell phone. Seeing that I do not have clients in that area code, I always let it go to voice mail. This is very strange for a couple of reasons.
- The only people who have that number are my clients, my mentors in that business, and my spouse.
- There is never a voice mail message.
- That number is registered to a cell phone in Arizona.
Web searches indicate many people are receiving calls from that number, and quite a number on their cell phones. For those who actually answer the call, they apparently get a recorded message to the extent of "contact immediately to get lower interest rates on credit cards... Press 1 for a live person". When they do get a live person, some were smart enough to ask them what company, location, etc. and they were hung up on.
So folks, based on all the above-mentioned details, this is most likely a scam and I would advise you to not answer your phone if you see the number. If you do, I would strongly advise you not give any information out. It also appears that the fastest way to get out of the call is to ask them for their information.
