My wife has had 2 calls from tele-marketers trying tell sell us shares in a resort on the GoldCoast of Austrtalia, first they told her that the bank had given them our creditcard details and could we please confirm them, lol, and that they got our address and phone numbers off them(which they recalled). I rang the bank and they told us that they never give out details and it was a scam they have heard about,
1, Our numbers are unlisted ,how did they get them?
2, They are calling tonight to talk to me apprently has any one got any questions i could be asking these guys?
What i mean by ask them a question is i what to take the p.iss out of them!
Yeah I have had scams like this before and I had a blast playing with them letting them think they had me.
play along with them to a point try to get a mailing address and name first and last as well as a phone number but do it slowly and as if you are interested.
see if they have a website as well that you can look at and an e-mail & a Brad and Dunn street .
once you have all that information from the supposed marketers you can go to a site such as www.whitepages.com and do a reverse telephone number search, or a search on their personal names. Go to the Better Business Bureau and see if they are listed in it and then if they are legit, then decide if you want it or not.
IF they are not legit and are frauds you have all the information you need to file a report with the police in your county as well as in their’s by calling their cities police department by verifying their address as legit, you can also ping their website address and see if it gives you similar information as to what they are telling you.
If you think they are frauds call both police departments, the BBB, as well as Consumer Affairs and any banking or credit card or personal information you gave them about you that could cost you money call them immediately and tell them before they run up a bill on you.
good luck.
