    ^That's a usually really good site for finding if a particular number is a scam/telemarketer/etc. In this particular instance, there is a lot of back and forth banter, some claiming one way, some another. So, as some have stated, just be safe. Use 611 or online system to check on your account, rather than the provided number.

    A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

    A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

    2. See Rule #1

    USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
