Called the number using *67 (so they could not see where the call was comming from) and spoke to "John Smith". I called him out on his think accent saying there is no way a person named John Smith has an accent like that and that he sounds middle eastern to me. It wasn't until I told him I was going to call the FBI unless he come clean, that he admitted to be calling from the middle east and this is in fact a scam. I can't believe I broke him down enough to admitt to trying to rip off hard working americans. I did call the FBI, but they said there is little they could do to stop these guys.
