    Caller identified himself as Jerry and claimed he was with Allstate and they had "lowered the rate" but if it is Allstate, it was the most unprofessional sounding insurance rep I've ever heard of! The call came from LA and we live in MD. Guy didn't know what to do when I answered the phone and said "Yeah?!" Before launching into his fake insurance spiel. I'm pretty sure the other commenters are correct and this is a scam of some sort. I used my standard telemarketer line "I am not interested, but thanks for the call!" And hung up.

Over the past two years we have all seen so many different numbers with dear Rachel and her merry crew right at the forefront, that it is wearying to report each new appearance of a new number. But I will report again and again anyway. Persistence produces results.

Reverse on number shows it comes from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Postings at other call complaint sites state that this is good old Rachel and her friends with their credit card scam.

Last night, 11-13-2012, I got a call at 7:46 from 202-861-5879. At exactly the same time, I got a call from 504-861-5879! The call from 504 rang 50X until it finally stopped.
The information about the call from 202 is that it came from a landline in Washington, D. C., with no real ID. The caller ID for the 504 call showed what I know now is the spoofed ID of Loyola University, but the call came from an unlisted landline in Kenner, Louisiana (in a county next to New Orleans).
I have reported the call to the real Loyola U., 800notes, whocalled.us, the FTC and the FCC. The real Loyola University wrote to tell me "I have passed this information along to our office of Technology Services so that they can look into the matter to ensure that our number hasn't been compromised."
I hope that Loyola can get the goods on the hacker behind this call, and take strong action against him.
