Type of a scam Phishing
My name is *** *** in Boise. I received a phone call this morning from someone claiming to be with a company called USA Legal Services, in Georgia. They told me on the phone that since I was a homeowner and asked for me by name, that I was due a refund on my mortgage. I told them I’ve never done business with a company named USA Legal Services. She proceeded to tell me that they handle all mortgages regarding refunds. I told her at that point that I didn’t believe her. She continued to ask me questions like “if I had a mortgage.” I said “wait a minute you just told me that I had a mortgage and was due a refund.” She continued to want me to provide who I was and other information but I continued to tell her I didn’t believe she was legit and I was not giving her any information. At that point she said I just need the information so I can get your case assigned to a caseworker and set up an appointment for them to call you back. Again I told her that I was done with the conversation, I didn’t trust her and I certainly didn’t believe her. I hung up the phone. I don’t know how far they would have taken it but I tried looking up the company while I was on the phone and couldn’t find anything. I don’t know if they would have been asking about my banking account or whatever, I assume so because it was about a “refund.” It is getting ridiculous and I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t answer my home phone anymore unless I have to. May be time to give it up except then I would have to give out my cell phone number but at least on the cell I can block them. The phone number they called from was 678/451-6388. When I dialed the number back it continually rings but then gives me a busy signal.
