This happened to us toady, but when I looked on Googled the number, I found this....please be aware that this is happening nationwide. It just happened to us today!
From the Google for 732-866-4091:
Today someone tried to scam my husband and I. We received a phone call from a New Jersey Number..
(732)866-4091. They claimed they were calling for us to purchase a extended warranty on our Trailblazer. They were wrong about the year of our Trailblazer and when my husband corrected him he said..Oh well, I see they made a mistake on that so, I will update it in our computer. They knew my husbands name and what kind of vehicle he drove. That's creepy but, if you have any connection to the DMV you can get a hold of that kind of information. The guy was very persistent and when my husband told him..We have a extended warranty..He says..well, this is only for the price of $2,187 which we can do over the phone right now. The warranty will be good until your blazer reaches a 100,000 miles and you cant beat that price. My husband then asked for his name and they guy went right over him and said. This is a one time offer only! My husband said. NO! I'm not interested. The guy hung up on him. It was really weird and about a half hour later My husband says that was really fishy. Why would anyone offer a warranty for 2,187 and for up to a 100,000 miles. So, I called the number back that was on my caller ID and sure enough, It was disconnected. That quick it was disconnected. I now have my Cop/Sheriff/Detective Friend in NJ checking the number to see who was the person the number belonged to before it was just disconnected and file a report. I also filed a report with our police department and also, the better business bureau. We also made all of our credit cards and our bank aware of it. Just wanted everyone to be aware and watch out!
Ends up that the scammers are using a device that can change the caller id "called from" number....the number is now "disconnected" and can't be traced....
WATCH OUT!!
