My curiosity might have gotten the best of me. I would have, at least, asked who they were calling, but, on the other hand, if it was some scam, best to hang up as quickly as possible.

I got one of those forwarded emails today about another scam. Supposedly, you get a call from the county regarding your failure to appear for jury duty. When you tell them you never got a summons, they ask for details, such as your social security number, so they can figure out what happened. No idea if this is actually happening....like I said, one of those (hated) emails, but doesn't hurt to be cautious.
