This number left a voice message on my cell phone.
"Hi, my name is Anna Meyers and I'm with the fraud alert (unintelligible) worthless check division. I have an individual by the name of "Cheryl Brazil." (mumbled/partly unintelligible) verification. Your name came up as an affiliate of this individual, which is why I'm trying to contact you now, to see if you may or may not know them. If you could go ahead and give me a call back (unintelligible -- maybe "about this") immediately this is my direct line 913-586-0334 in regards to account number, or case number 569748. Thank you.
= = = = = = =
Immediately, I noticed a few problems:
1) No bank was mentioned.
2) No name (Neither mine nor my wife's.) was mentioned, for an intended recipient.
3) The person named in the message is completely unknown to us.
4) We never use our checking account to write checks. Online, we direct the bank to send checks to pay bills, etc. It would be hard for anybody to have a handwritten check from us, since we never write any. I wouldn't know where to start looking, to find a blank check.
5) NOBODY ELSE HAS MY PHONE NUMBER. Wife, kids, and 2 or 3 very close friends; that's it. This cell phone number is never given out to anyone.
6) If my name came up as an "affiliate," that does not explain how the number was obtained. Plus, Anna doesn't seem to know my name.
