Hey Readers,
I just have to warn you all - DO NOT pick up from this number 405-445-4841. Spam.
Unfortunately, after a quick google search I find out this number is coming out of Oklahoma. And although I am already registered on the national Do Not Call List (http://www.donotcall.gov) I still got a scam call from this number. Here's the deal.
A man replies with a very surprised tone when I answered the call :
"... Hello! Yes, I am calling about an online survey you filled out regarding employment opportunities in your area. Are you interested?"
"Um, which online survey?" <-- I don't recall filling out ANY.
"I'm just calling to see if you are interested in employment opportunities. Are you currently employed?"
"Which company is this?"
"I'm just trying to offer you job opportunities in your area, that's all. Is that okay with you?" <-- Whoaaaa, all of a sudden so defensive! He must have gotten this reaction often from callers he tried to scam prior to calling me.
"..Um, sure."
"Okay great! Are you currently employed? What year did you graduate high school? What is your highest educational background?" <-- Wait a minute..if i filled out an online survey, shouldn't he have all this info already?
"And what is your name? Please spell it out slowly. . . *pause* . . .and what is your email address?" <--RED ALERT. THIS GUY MUST BE BAD NEWS.
"Shouldn't you have my email already? (esp. if i filled out an online survey)"
...*pretends not to hear me* ... "and what is your zipcode?"
HANG UP IMMEDIATELY.
Scam scam scam. Really unfortunate to see it might be pranksters taking advantage of Oklahoma's situation and probably previously claimed to be "disaster relief" asking for donations.
Register your phone number to stop getting calls (it helps):

Please share any other spam phone numbers you've gotten too.
I'm surprise you even have a conversation with him. I usually hung up on people with the numbers I don't recognize. Haha, I'm very impatient.
