[SGVLUG] Anyone seen a similar Phone+Email scam?

[matti]

Hi Rod,

Normally I would look up their phone number,
name, company name and see if there are
other complaints about their methods / scam

If you have not given out your number to many
people, I wonder if someone passed it along to
others, or if their contact database got copied
by someone.

It's my home office/biz line. The voice mail routed to an extension I've 
only recently published in a few places, like 2 months ago. I suspect a 
targeted scam where they can associate an email with a phone # and a 
name. However, they don't seem to understand that I go by a first name, 
not a last.

If you're really interested, I can forward you the .wav of their messages.
