New ebay scam/spam?

[davidfre21 5,000+ posts]

Just received a what i believe was an automated call, judging by the pauses and way the voice sounded. Now i didnt think to see how far i could take it until after they/it hung up. But went like this

I greeted, then waited for 30-45sec

respond, Tammy whatever and was wanting to return a computer she had bought off me from ebay

I said ive never sold a computer on ebay

repsonded, that i should stand by what i sell

From there i just went quiet, 45sec or so later

responded that it was unacceptable

another 45sec of silence from me and the caller says good bye. Call ended.

Now i dont know the significance to this but found it odd, so just a heads up if it happens to someone else on here. See how far it goes.

Maybe it was one of those deaf people phone calls with the operating helping.

as long as they didn't tell you to press *11 you're good.

Last I heard about phone scams, they wanted people to press that to release all their billing info.

I don't know but it's definately creepy.

Lock your doors and sleep with a gun.

That's weird. When I pick up the phone and say hello if nobody answers right after I hang up.
