443-594-2597

A woman named Christy called my cell phone, from the number 443-594-2597. I was expecting a call from a business in that same area code, so I answered. I normally don't answer ANY phone numbers I don't recognize. The woman stated she was calling for Abc Xyz (I'll be using this name to replace the name of the person who she asked for, which is my elderly mother), and I told her this was the wrong number. She didn't respond or hang up, so I then asked who she was again, and she again told me her name (Christy) and mumbled the name of the company she's working for, but to me it almost sounded like the name of my mother's doctor. I again told her this was the wrong number, but I could get in touch with Abc Xyz if this was important. It was only then that she said "I work for an energy company. I would really like to help Abc Xyz out with her energy costs by getting some solar panels for her. But I don't have a number she can call me back on so I'll just take this number off her contact info and try to find another number for her". I said, "yes, please take my number off your list." And she responded "of course, but while I have you on the line, can you give me Abc Xyz's home phone number, address, email, birthdate and employer information?" So I immediately hung up. The only reason I stayed on the line so long was because I first thought it may be my mothers doctor, but once I realized it was a sales call, I stayed to attempt to remove my number from their list. This MUST be some sort of phishing scam... I can't believe she asked me for all of that info.
