I received a call October 31st 2008 about an unnamed company that I owed $645, and if I didn't pay they would add an additional $250 for wasting his time.
The representative used the name, Kirkland Odom. I do not know if that was his real name but he wanted me to give my bank information and a down payment of $200.
I refused so he asked me how much I had, I responded $85, not true. He asked what was my employee ID number I told him my social security, but I did not give him the number. My caller ID said he was calling from Texas, but when I asked him the time he had he said 2:49 pm, and that's when I became suspicious because I live on the East Coast and that was my local time which means his should have been 1:49 pm Central.
He was determined to get a bank account number and would not let me ask any questions what so ever, so I gave him a made up bank account number and I haven't heard from him since.
Don't almost get caught in the trap like I did.
