Several calls from area code 270. Wouldn’t answer, then they left a message saying that I had ordered an iPhone for $999.00. Message said to speak to a representative, dial 1 at end of message. That didn’t work so I called the number on my phone (landline). The person who answered said his name was Steve Watson and his ID number was 97625. He had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand. Not convinced he’s from or lives in the United States. Told him I had not ordered a phone and that I would never spend $999 on a phone. He transferred me to someone else who said he was a deputy with some kind of Commission. He asked me a couple questions, but when he said he needed the last four digits of my Social Security number, I told him I didn’t feel comfortable doing that and that I would need to discuss it with my son first. He hung up!
