Got a wierd message today. No caller ID, which is rare. So it must be a wonky number. The message starts off with this girl assuming it's the wrong person. "Hi Steph". Um, my voice message intro says my name...and I sound like a guy with a deepish voice. How the hell can anyone get that confused.
Anyway, she claims that she lost Steph's number, but her friend "Randy" gave her this one. Anyway, she's calling b/c of the "hot stock trader guy" she's dating gave her another lead, and Steph was mad at her for not mentioning the last one. She mentions the previous incident, which apparently involved some company "MSI?" that increased from $1.50 to over $5. Wow, not a bad return. So the new tip has to do with some company TWRM or something like that. Go ahead and give her a call back. No return number given, and no caller ID. A fucking teaser that I assume she'll rope some suckers into.
Sounds like something out of Boiler Room, but worse. She paused a moment on the phone, but claimed to be eating. Sounded like she was scrolling through papers. Not sure how she would get my cell number since it's on the DNC list, and also unlisted AFAIK. Sounds really fake. I mean, WTF? And she claims to be up in NY still. I would *69 the number, but don't feel like appeasing an obvious fraud. But is this how it's done with real chop shops? They randomly call around fishing for leads and hoping to rope a sucker? I had to laugh b/c I would have picked up the call if I wasn't in class. Would have been an interesting conversation. I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had this happen recently. PEACE.
