msg from Ben Schmidt - I don't know him but he knew where i work and my school schedule. Wanted to talk to me and asked to call him back.

Got the same message today 9/2/2010

Same wording, same number.
No company name given. I'm doing some reverse-lookup work as I type this.

Got a message on my machine from Ben Schmidt about an employment opportunity with an unmentioned company using this return number.

I received the same call.  Hope someone eventually gets more info out of him...out of curiosity.
Not interested.  Thanks for all the posts.

I got the same call today (June 14, 2010)

Is this a scam?

Got the exact same message on my machine.  Legit callers leave a company name.

Hit me today...  VM is wonderful (as is this site).  Steve Beers - desk - expanding company blah blah blah

Hello.  I have received calls from this scam several times over at least the past 5 years.  The messages are always caught on my screening answering machine.  The person making the call claims my name has come across his desk and that I may be a fit for his exopanding company.  This strongly appears like a phone scam to attempt to trick people into listenting to a sales pitch for some low-end work scam.  I did several online searches for the guys name and the phone umber given. It alsways results in this web site and a few other sights claiming the same things I am now about this phone call.  Call the number and demand they remove your phone number from all their lists and from the lists and records of all associates.

Steve Beers (414-940-0701) called today and left a voice mail message to the effect that my resume came across his desk and he is interested in talking to me about joining his expanding company if I am interested in a career move.

Message said "My name is Steve Beers. The reason I am calling is because I am working on the expansion of my company and your name came across my desk" etc. etc.

He called me yesterday at 1:43pm and lift me a message on my voice mail he said he wanted to interview me.

A person called and left a message on my answering machine... claiming "I have your information" and looking to expand in the area.  If i am in a position to consider a career move...etc... sounds like the same wording reported here.  I feel this is a phone calling scam and the person on the other end is presenting a script.  I had this type of call in the past years.

He claims to work for a financial services company.  But he never says which.  He also get pissed when you hang up on him and leave incredibly unprofessional messages when its pretty obvious you're not interested.  Clearly from some barely legitimate venture.

I got a call fromt he same guy, same number saying he got my number from a freind who said i had people skills. Wanted to know if i would learn another career in the financial field. Probably wants money......
