    Yesterday at quarter of 2 in the morning, the phone rings at my house. It's a call from something called "Albatross Marketing", showing up on caller ID as "ALBATROSS MARKE". Later on last night, I got online and googled the company name, and it took me to one of those "who was that telemarketer" type sites where people post telemarketer's numbers and comment on what they said, when they called, etc. I guess these people like to call in the wee hours for some reason. I also found that this is a phone phishing scam. Has anyone else had experience with these people?

    If it's a phishing scam then maybe they call in the wee hours so that you won't be thinking clearly when you answer. Or maybe they are in another country. I would just go online and put the number into my call filter list and never hear from 'em again.
