references on-line say it is a scam claiming to be from a bank. I just c****ed my land line number which is unlisted and s****ed getting these calls. I keep the ringer off on the land line which we just have for emergencies. The scam people have called this number repeatedly. It is a recorded message and when I listen to the message it is in the middle of it asking if you are the correct party., then press 5. You cannot respond of course because it is a recording. Seems pretty much a scam.

OK. I see people saying it is BB&T but I have read reports from a lot of people who say it is not and that this number has been reported to the BBB and FBI. It is 99.9% a scam from people CLAIMING TO BE FROM BB&T, but most likely they are not. BE CAREFUL.
