Weird phone call

houkouonchi · 01-14-2011, 12:01 AM

Ok so I got this weird message on my home voicemail. I was kind of surprised as it went to my home number which I almost never give out (usually use my cell phone). The message was:

Quote:

Hi, This message is for the primary driver of the Nissan 370z. I am calling regarding a Kate(?) Automotive research study taking place in your area in February.

It pays $150 for those who quality and participate. There is absolutely no sales involved. If it is something you are interested in please call me Ann B(?) at 1-800-975-2585 and have your phone number and reference number when calling back. Thank you

Anyone have any idea what this is for? Anyone else get a similar call?

Edit:

I used my mic to actually record the message itself:

I did one for my MINI Cooper, but it was a different company. I went there and got interviewed for an hour and walked out with $150 cashier's check. Easy money. I don't know about your company, but I doubt it's a scam. Just don't give them your SSN or any other sensitive information that is not public.

I got a call similar to yours not long after I bought my Z - it was legit.

I got a call for an nissan marketing related focus group shortly after buying my 370z... but only got payed $100...

After that meeting , there was a Nissan Cube focus group... it was fun to see a parking lot full of Z's and Cubes.

I got about 20 calls for some girl named Loretta recently from all the local colleges around here.. I mean, I can see mis-typing your own number once in a while, typo etc.. but how do you give out the wrong number to 20 different people.. stupid biatch.

Liquid G, sounds like some hot girl named Loretta is giving out your # as her fake number whenever she gets hit on (just a theory)!
