I just received the same call. I refused to confirm my address or give them my bank information so the caller started to "fake cry" and told me his job safety was in my hands. Then he put his supervisor on the phone who then said "Give me your Bank name and account # now!" I giggled at his seriousness and he said I was wasting his time and hung up. I tried calling the number back but it said it was not in service.

Called my cell today at 3:01 PM and said they were from Dish Network. It sounded like an Indian call center.  When I said my number was on the National Do Not Call Registry they quickly hung up.

They keep calling, don't leave a message, the # comes up disconnected! Don't even pick up! Sounds like crap. If you pick up, maybe they can validate their scam.

Caller ID showed 651-356-8240, but when I called the number, the phone system message said that the number 612-235-4198 is no longer in service.  Gotta be hiding illegal activity to use that much mis-direction.

Received call at 12:19 PM today and tryed calling back and was disconnected!

I get calls all the time and always tell them I am not intrested. I try and call the number back and is disconted. does nayone know who this is.

I have received a call from this number twice today. I didnt answer because I didnt know the number - thanks to everyone on this site for posting because now I can see it looks like some sort of a scam.

I have received a call from 651-356-8240. The guy on the phone said he is calling from "debt collector's office". I can hear another guy talking in low vaoice to explain something to me. I suspected fould and hung up. Later called this number and got a voice mail to call 1-800-747-8332 and it was some telephone company.

CAUTION: DO not give any personal details when you receive such calls.

I called it back, got "welcome to Verizon Wireless; the number you have called has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service".  

Since Verizon is bugging me right now to upgrade service plans and buy new equipment, I'll bring it to their attention.

some indian sounding guy named rick, from apah (something)??? service. 2/19/08

Just received a call from this number, 651-356-8240, noticed "O2C" on our caller ID, and chose not to answer.  They did not leave a message.  I was intrigued by the number because we are in the same area code - 651.  Curious, I Googled the number and got to this web page.  I tried the number and got the same "out of service" message.

I work for a phone company in MN, and a customer just called me wondering about this call she just got. It told her to press one to leave a message and she hung up. A few minutes later she picked up her phone and a recording came on saying thanks for leaving a message.
I had her call the MN Atty General.

They have called my elderly in-laws several times to "inform" them that the Social Security Administration has selected them to receive an additional $500 per month for six months because "they pay their taxes on time."

I also received a call at 8:08 PM last night from this number, tried to call this number back but just a continuous busy signal.

Received a call 03/31/08 at 12:58 PM that just says "blocked name" (651-356-8240.  I call it back and it says "The number you have called is not in service, or is assigned in a different area code."  I called this number back at 1:27 PM, less than half an hour later.  I want to get this scammer off our list.
