A very long time ago I ordered a product from M.O.R.E. Inc. called "Dialing for Dollars". It was a pretty decent product – especially for the time – about using automated answering machines as part of a 2 step direct mail sales process.

The BBB has issued a warning about deceptive calls coming from 202-470-2607.
"BBB received a call from a Yakima customer reporting that he received a call from someone with a “thick accent” stating that they were trying to get him his tax return. They took his name and birth date and said they would send him a packet. Once he received his packet he should send them $495 so they can send him $4,000 as a refund for taxes he is owed.
