Some guy with an Indian accent called offering a free wireless home security system because I was "randomly selected". Claimed to work for a subsidiary of GE. Asked personal questions & I told him I didn't need a security system b/c I observe my 2nd Amendment rights. I asked to be put on DNC list. When I tried to call back, the number doesn't exist. It's something shady brokerage firms on Wall St do when they cold call but don't want curious people calling back to complain. At least that's what I got from it. Hope this helps.

Called me on my cell phone. I didn't answer.

I got a text on 2/22/11 from 225-532-9320 asking if I needed a quick loan for up to $1500.  As it suggested I replied back "stop" to be removed from their list.  Then last night (2/24/11) I got a phone call from 116-214-2517  (except it showed up in call ID as 1-162-142-517).  I did not answer and there was no message.  Maybe the text and phone call are related.  Either way, whomever is texting and calling should be raped and then drowned because it is annoying.

Asian woman called my cell stating I was among twelve people selected in my area to receive a free wireless security system. No name given so I told her not to call again and hung up. Minutes later my wife's cell rang showing the same number but we did not answer. Earlier this afternoon I got a spam text on my phone to "opt-in" to receive an "ad a day" via text to my cell. It was addressed to "Matt" which is not my name. Looks like someone got into Verizon's DB since all my phones are on their network.

Got this phone call from this number. He has an indian accent and claims that this number (my mobile phone!)has been selected to receive a free home monitoring system. He did not know my name.  I told him that I am on the do not call list and not to call back. I received one from the same guy last night on my home phone saying that my number had been selected to receive a free fire extinguisher. He asked for a name I carried years ago.
