Received the same call in Atlanta, GA @ 6:11 AM on 041214. My conclusion is that 'they' are trying to find out if this is a working number. Possibly thereafter gathering more information on-line of from our phone providers, in order to build a profile that appears legitimate and IMO will ultimately be used for ID theft, fraud and other illegal activities.
The main issue is that all these hackers hide behind cyberspace and that they are hard to catch. Secondly, the punishment does not fit the crime(s) that are committed against you and I. Disrupting all our lives, stealing, and other lewd activities need to be dealt with in a much harsher way. 10 or 20 years in prison or hard labor. This is not 'just' stealing a password, this is life altering for you and me. We need to do something about it!
