it's true! i just had a friend who lives on the mexican border called me and that number came up on my cell. idk what he used to call though, maybe a ph card.

Just posted household items on Craigslist yesterday and last night got call from this number... they must just randomly search these venues for leads? I dont answer unknown numbers and only return calls to people who leave messages. This call isn't a problem, just an irritant.

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!

I answered and long pause.  Then man with very heavy accent kept saying something about "computer."  His voice indicated something was wrong so I hung up on him.  Then he called back and I didn't answer.

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