Received numerous calls over the past 3 days from this number. Only 1-249-289-5469 showing on caller ID. Didn't answer it, they left no message.
After third time today, I answered by mistake. There was a pause as the rep went live from his computer, and in a thick middle eastern accent said "Hehloah?.
I answered, "Hello".
In a thicker accent he said, "Hehloah, my naime iz Michul (Michael), did youh apply forh a paydayh loangh (loan)? (You really gotta get in the back of your throat to match this bozo's accent).
I said "no".
There was a shuffling sound, and then the line went dead.
Unknown if it was a phishing, scam, or some other sales pitch. Going through a lot of numbers fast, no opt-out in beginning or end. Sooooooo, probably phishing.
