I got the same call, but I didn't recognize the person, he was saying that he was a family member from mexico, but he wouldn't tell me his name. I also didn't recognize the voice

Some Asian idiot called me claiming to be Sameer from StarTelecom. He was claiming to provide excellent long distance rates (and I mean EXCELLENT rates). But I asked him to provide me a detail letter stating the rates, company info, representative info and company contact details (like website and toll free number). I received the email but firstly the email was marked SPAM by gmail and then the email address that was in the FORM field of the email was some custom YAHOO email address. When the person called back (but this time it was from UNKNOWN number), I told him that I wanted their website address of the company and he said he'll get back to me. He wanted my credit card info to sign me up for the good rates but I insisted not to give the number unless and until I receive proper emails from them with their website info. BE CAREFUL... DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS over the phone unless it's a legit company. RESEARCH A LOT on the internet before making a decision to sign up. Good luck and I hope these idiots get caught before this becomes an industry wide practice!

Received this call in Nova Scotia today (05/09/2012) at 8:51am.  Odd thing I noticed is, while I was watching the rings come in, the caller ID shifted from this number, to an unknown name/unknown number without disconnecting the call.I've dealt with a good many scammers, but as I didn't recognize the number I didn't bother answering it.  No voicemail left.  I've been on the NDNC for quite some time, so my 30 days is long active.  I wonder if it was the Bell Canada b***s*** scam that I received a few months back.  Reported it to Bell and they wouldn't even return my calls (Bell not these guys).  The callers from this number aren't the only scammers in Canada... lol

I read a comment about someone thinking this may link to western union, because they had sent money the night before... I recieved a call the day after I used western union speed pay to pay my mortage payment.It seems to me like either western union is selling #'s or they have been compromised. please forgive my grammer!

Mumbling in background, strong accent. Asking if the Lady of the House was available regarding mortgage. Very suspect.

the same thing just happened to me today! they didnt leave a voicemail or anything tho!
