The following info is an unwanted call I received earlier this afternoon:
Name of caller: goes by Darrell
Age of caller: 42
He has number with area code 909, still got it on my caller ID. I traced it with reverse look up online, and it turned out to be a personal Land line in Moreno Valley, California.
I spelled his name to the best of my ability.
He obtained my phone number by internet, since I was filling out surveys and offers online hoping to earn extra through Cashcrate. I canceled my Cashcrate account cause I got too many unwanted calls on my cell. Most of Cashcrates offers and surveys require a phone number. So, yes it's my own fault I'm getting these type of calls from giving out my number online.
Anyway, this Darrell guy actually took the extra step of leaving a voice mail on my cell phone about a work at home opportunity and how it changed his life and it helped him retire from his old job in like 90 days. He claims that he made like over $14,000 in a very short period of time. So, he was trying to make me an offer that sounds too good to be true.
I call him back, tell him that I'm not interested because it's a scam, a total fraud too good to be true. After I made that comment to him, he sounded all mad at me and tried to push me into going on this "system" presentation online, and said that he made so much money that he was able to take his dream vacation to Coasta Rica--that's complete bullsh*t!. He made several thousand dollars for making 20 calls to people like me--again, complete bullcrap! He even asked how old I was. I said that I was old and that's none of his business. I said, "You sound too good to be true, shut up, I'm not interested, thanks for your time, good bye" and hung the phone up. It really p*$$es me off how so many people can get away with scamming others into "get rich quick" gigs. I think he was a crook, a total con artist out to ruin people's lives. So, although I was smart enough to hang up the phone in the middle of the conversation and not become a victim, does anyone think I can still report him and his number to Fraud.org?
