Today, I received two phone calls from 407-627-1213. A quick Google search revealed that this is a scam. However, Caller ID lists the name of the caller as Fraud. I guess I can't complain!

That's interesting! Today I received a phone call offering a free three day vacation "near" Disney World. The interesting part is Caller ID said that the call came from my phone number that I was answering the call on.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

My phone company must be labeling spurious calls. Today, caller ID identified the caller as Spam, Dallas TX. I did answer the phone, and a female voice said, "Please stop what you're doing". I obeyed her command. I was answering the phone and I immediately stopped by hanging up. (Incidentally, I have received this come-on before, but from a male voice.)
