201-254-3372

Number is a local NJ Fair Lawn number.  It has been obtained now by scammers who have spoofed a block of (201) 254-XXXX numbers in an effort to entice local residents to answer calls from what appears to be a "local" caller, when it is not!  Once answered, they will ruse you with attempts to get your personal information. With me, the heavy accented man was trying to get me to change my electric company, then he wants a credit card number to pay for the monthly electric supply charges. That's all I need to do to cut my electric bill by 50% he says.  Sounds nice, but it's a complete scam!  He didn't even know the electric company that services this area.  I told him that it was Con Edison to test him, which only serves NYC not NJ... He had no clue because he isn't really selling electric service options. I played along with for awhile as he asks for my credit card number, name, address, DoB, and SSN. I started by giving him a made up address, name, DoB, and social to see how far he would go. When he asked for the CC number I called him out, told him that he wasted his time with me, and I hung up... But I got enough from him to write this post.  He never called back. And when you call the number back by turning off your own caller ID, you get a fast-busy signal.  Beware of these calls where you don't know the number... If it's legit, they WILL leave a voicemail. They must be getting a lot of vulnerable people because I'm getting several calls per week from this (201) 254-XXXX exchange.  BEWARE and stay VIGILANT!!!

Much thanks for the tip. Matter of fact they called up and didn't answer. Now blocking this scammer.
