Sucker reported a Scammer/Fraudster (9148850809 from YONKERS area, NY). The following comments were posted: I received a call on my cell phone from this # while I was at work. I didnt answer at the time, but called back after work because I was curious who might have called. Someone answered, I believe identified himself as Chris. He said I had answered an online survey and was calling in reference to that, and did I remember taking the online survey. I said no, but he continued on that he was with WN Positions and was I interested in job opportunities. I said yes, and he began asking some basic questions, name, US citizen, etc. I naively answered these questions. I was then transferred to at least 3 other people who identified themselves as something, these people asked similar types of questions, which I answered. The string of transfers ended with me talking to an enrollment personnel from an online university. After a couple hours of thinking about the call, I realized how strange this was and also realized I had given out way too much personal information. This is without a doubt a scam. I am 99% sure this is an identity theft scam. And I fell victim to it by not being more alert and wary of the info I was giving out. I am now terrified of how this information will be used. I enrolled in a credit tracking service and will be watching carefully. I made a report to the FBI and the FTC. I have also been repeatedly calling the number back and in a reverse roll trying to get information from the guy on the other end of the line. I have been hung up on at least 10 times. I hope whoever is behind this is busted quickly before they can commit a large amount of fraud. I will update if things go bad for me. Bottom line, this is a scam, not even a clever one, but I fell for it. If you get a call from this number ignore it or if you have the time report it to the FTC and or local FBI.
