I do a google search on the number, it's in New Hampshire, and came up with nothing, so I told them to call me. I wait. Suddenly I get a call from a Washington, D.C. number, 202-455-8888. I answer and a female recorded voice asks me to input a 2-digit code to connect. WTF?
I get a text from this person saying it's him and to punch in 50 so we can talk. Supposedly it's a Google phone because his cell phone is dead. I respond, then why are you able to text from this 603 number if your cell phone is dead. He insists I answer the "google" call. I finally replied with "Go to netcrimes.net. That's me. If this is not a scam, then you can call me from the 603 number u r texting me from."
No answer.
Frelling scammers.
BTW, I did call back the 202 area code number and it's a poorly recorded message claiming it's a Google exchange. I wonder if Google knows about this?
Have a giggle and call that number yourself.
Here's a great resource on what to do if you DO fall for the scam and your number is stolen by these scammers
UPDATE!!!! This just sent to me via email dated 1/29/2017:

Excellent post. Scams get on everyone's nerves and I feel the punishment for scamming should be as harsh as the punishment for anyone caught in the act of treason. Thanks for sharing.
Beware of 214-462-7601. Just tried to pull the Google voice same of me not five minutes ago.
Add 720-539-8948 to the list
