There’s a good chance your caller is working out of an office in Buffalo, NY. Not too much actual work up there, but one booming “business” involves filling boiler rooms with sub-literates and having them call people to scam them. They can harm you a little by wasting your time, but they cannot do much beyond that so long as you give them no information.
And the great majority don’t. But in a high-volume calling operation, they just need to trick 1/100th of their targets into giving over credit card and/or bank account numbers, and they’re in the money.
