I've gotten 4 calls from this number out of the blue today. Once it was a middle eastern guy asking about me looking for college info, twice it seemed like an answering machine replaying what I said (freaked me out at first) and the last one was just a hangup. I just want to be left alone.

almost same exact thing for me but for a payday loan. he hung up after i told him i didn't apply for one

I have received several calls and I finally got to my cell in time to answer tonight.  A man with a very strong middle eastern accent said he was calling about the shopping card I applied for. I told him that I had not applied for one.  He said "are you sure?"  He became rude and condiscending when I couldn't understand him and the he repeated himself.  I told him I was sure.  He said "are you a 100 percent sure?"  I said yes and he hung up on me.  Sounds like a scam to me.
