An earlier poster hit the nail on the head. Just got a call from this one on my home phone, followed immediately by a call to my cell - no message was left. I'm also listed on a couple of job boards.

I received a call from this number and asked if this was my name. I said yes may I help you and the person hung up. How do I report this number to not receive it again. Thank you.

These calls come from a Call Center in India, an outsourced service provider for a number of recruiting firms in the United States. They are contracted to quickly verify phone numbers and addresses on resumes and employment applications so the actual recruiters don't waste time calling bad numbers. Usually, if they get a "hello" from you - they just hang up and mark the number as active and move on to the next phone number on their call list. That's pretty much all they do. Depending on what the recruiter wants to verify - they may quickly also ask if you worked for some previous employer or if you have a particular skill set.

reported this creep to the FCC. He called my home number, then work cell, then home number again and said his name was Mark with Aeroteck and wanted me to confirm my personal email address about a job. I said I wasn't interested and hung up. This occurred on 2/5/14. Heavy Indian accent

What is it with these Indian or Pakistani telephone scams? This is not the first and it appears it has had some longevity, with the 1st comment here posted exactly 1 year ago. 63660 (full displayed number) was much more annoying and a really strange story, but that's not what this string is about.
For anyone investigating this one, here's a clue. I didn't answer this call, but I carry two cell phones. As I am looking for works, both numbers (1 primary, 1 alternate) are listed on my resume posted on various job boards. Was it a coincidence that first my primary cell phone rang with this number and very shortly thereafter, my alternate phone rang? Don't think so. Two things can reasonably be deduced: 1.) they're not doing this as a prank (there's a money angle somewhere) and 2.) they have a reason to verify phone numbers on resumes. Recruiters can make some pretty good money, but spend enormous amounts of time on the phone.
My advice is to share as many facts here as possible. Unfortunately, most will likely be reading this after the call, but if this connects with your experience, add some dots.

This person called me and asked if I was ... , I asked who is this? he hung up. !

I recieved this call around 2:00pm EST from a guy with an Indian accent also, POSING to be employed by a corporate company AppleOne. He verified my name and current employer...scary...asked if i had outside sale exp and then hung up when i said no. I called AppleOne (legit recruiting company) and they said they have a downtown Chicago location, but the ph# for that location did not match this ph# and the solicited call was based out of West IL, where they do not have an office.
HERES HOW TO REPORT AND SHUT IT DOWN: FCC said they do not handle these complaints, although their rep sais it does sound like a scam, so you must call the FTC (Federal Trade) at 1877-382-4357 to report it AND your state attorney (FL is 866-966-7226). The rep said one agency will investigate, one will try to shut it down, and they will make it known to the public that it is a SCAM so people dont fall for it.
LETS REPORT THESE CALLS THE RIGHT WAY!!!!

| Tia 2013-11-29 15:56:01 Unknown |

I just received a call from 630-206-1818, I always answer this particular number with "Hello this is (my name)" - The caller with an indian accent said, "ok thank you, sorry for wasting your time"...definitely calling just to confirm my identity is associated with this particular phone number - scary to think my identity is in jeopardy right now as I type this, and I'm not even sure what to do...???
| Greg 2013-11-25 19:40:14 Unknown |
Same happened to me like everyone else.
Here is the remedy. Go to http://www.fcc.gov/complaints and file complaint against this number. FCC takes this very seriously and can even get the man behind bars
