It was about 8:32 AM when I had gotten a phone call. It was an 808 number and I was still sleepy so I figured it was nothing. It was started with, "Hi, my name is John and I’m with Horizon Unlimited, can you hear me?" I was still sleepy at this point and said, "yeah" and then a beep happened next and they hung up. At this point, I fully woke up and I called the number back. It had a recording of him saying that he was John from Horizons Unlimited on a recorded line. After a few attempts of trying to call them back and having the recorded line, it finally said that it was to see if I wanted to continue my education.

A recorded voice named John claiming to be from Horizons Unlimited. Asked if I was interested in continuing my education. I repeatedly asked, "Who are you calling for" until they hung up on me. Called back and asked for a specialist, was hung up on. Called again and John told me I would be removed from their list.

"Hi this is John from Horizons Unlimited. Can you hear me okay" … "Great! I am just here to talk about what school is right for you."
I then hung up the phone and realized I was being scammed.

They called and the guy said Hi this is so and so from Horizons Unlimited Can you hear me okay? I said no and then hung up. I then pressed star 69 and then I called back and it was the exact same recording. Hi, this is so and so from Horizons Unlimited Can you hear me Okay? So then I called back 5 hours later and there was a ring back song and then a man answered and said Hello? I then hung up. I believe that this is the scam that was on the news.
