SCAM

I just received a SCAM call from 661-748-0240 and a female caller claimed to be a Home Inspector Pro supervisor and she wanted me to log into a website called www.joinme.com. I called HIP and they stated it is a SCAM. Be careful out there.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks.

I think it was home inspection something else.

Was she foreign sounding??? Someone is outsourcing their telemarketing :slight_smile:

She called me 2 hours ago and I at first thought she said HIP also but when I asked she spoke more clearly.

Funny thing is that the caller id on mine came up as a Sub I had was using when he went to spain so I am not quite sure what that was about as I am sure it was not the same number but my phone for some reason thought it was???

Thanks Mike.
