Received yet another message on my answering service from a person named Tom Pelley who identifies himself with Fidelity Investments and calling to update me about 401k account benefits and features. The number he leaves to call back is 1-866-260-9903 at extension 2049.
Unfortunately he calls (now a total of four times since November 2007) when I am not at the phone and leaves a message. On call back, no one answers the number but asks you to leave a message.
I receive regular news letters from Fidelity and access information at their website. The mystery here is why this persistent calling with inadequate answering service when you return calls. If legitimate, why isn't the information conveyed the way Fidelity conveys lots of information, i.e., website and quarterly newsletters????
That;s why it makes receivers of these calls suspicious about the call being a scammer OR a salesman trying to manipulate you into keeping your money with Fidelity (could be good or bad to do so!!)
