I had the same thing. Asking about home loans claiming to be with the FHA. Does anyone know anything about this?

I got a call from "Eric Watson" on March 3rd or 4th, 2008.  He also had an Indian accent, claimed to be with the FHA, and asked about our mortgage.  (But he gave his number as 1-866-512-5808.)  When I asked where he was calling from, he said he was in Santa Ana, California.  And when I hung up on him, he even called back to ask why I had done so.  Major chutzpah.

Received call from heavily Asian accented man. Soliciting FHA mortgages. Asked for personal information about my home loan.

You must think the rest of us are stupid, I'd bet good money you work for one of these companies that take afvantage of desperate people.

I just received a phone as such at my workplace.  The number on the caller ID showed 818-456-1234 but toll free as they gave 800-424-8189.  The first number (818) has been disconnected, the toll free number is always busy when you try to call.

I received the same call today.  AMR Home Loans is actually "Smart Funding Corp." d/b/a AMR Fundings (http://www.smartfundingcorp.com/), (http://65.248.36.75/amr/index.htm) with an address at:
1809 E. Dyer Rd, Ste 301
Santa Ana, CA.  
tel. (949) 838-1819.  

They are a self-described "aggressive mortgage company" (http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rej/465365093.html) that in 2006 obtained financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for a call center system in India.  (this explains the heavy accents -- http://www.exim.gov/article.cfm/985AA5C3-DBF6-0254-D0B3C0405CED97BE/).  Their call center spoofs the numbers of call centers in the United States so that the recipient's caller ID shows up with a U.S. phone number or "Unavailable ID."  (See also http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-270-1696).  They use old mortgage data for their caller database, their Indian telemarketers use fake American names such as "Daniel Parker" and "Mack Logan," and they do not follow requests to be placed on "do not call" lists.  I must have received 500 calls from them in the past year.

Is their activity illegal?  What can I do about these calls?

Got a phone call from a person with a heavy Indian accent soliciting FHA loans. When I asked his name he responded "Eric Watson". Well "Mr Watson" gave me a webpage for his business www.emrhomeloans.com, which I could not find.
Good luck with this "Mr. Watson".

Wow, I did not think there would be people who would complain about them.
I just refinanced my home with them and it was the best process ever.

I was a little worried at first but went ahead with it anyways, and who knew I would get the best loan with them? I shopped around and they beat everyone with their first offer.

I recommend them

wow, he is a busy man..
Not only did he have an address that I Haven't lived in for 7 years, he has a spouse that I haven't had in the same length of time..

He got a bit pissy when I told him I had to go.
