Wierd telemarketing call just now

[WolfeMacleod]

I've received a couple strange telemarketing calls over the past couple weeks.
One asked for my wife, and simply hung up when I responded.
Called the number on Caller ID...disconnected.

One just came in. "Calling on behalf of Sprint. You've ben selected to win a new cell phone"

We aren't Sprint customers.

Very heavy Indian accent.

I ask the person if he can identify the name that appeared on the caller ID. He could.

"Debra Lanovara - 843-821-9610"

I ask why not a company name, and he muttered in broken Engrish something liek "because she's my..."

I ask for a Stupidvisor. I get one.

I tell him we're on the Do-Not-Call list and are not customers of Sprint.

He hangs up.

I call the number. Disconnected, as before. I look it up at www.whocalled.us and find similar complaints.

Googling the name or number shows interesting results.

Anyone else getting calls like this?

Probably trying to get personal information out of you. Thats usually the idea.

Caller ID can be spoofed - VERY easily. I concur with rammstein.
