Scam Description

A caller from 503-660-5553, which leads to a supposed business but appears in reality to be an address for a UPS store, tried to collect personal information based on a supposed inquiry by my wife about life insurance. This is clearly a scam. The caller, who identified himself as Jack Johnson, claimed to be an underwriter not working for ANY company. When pressed, he claimed to be gathering the information for the state of Oregon, which, of course, licensed him! I asked him how the scam works, how he would use the information he collected. He didn’t like that and quickly gave up after that. As a note, he called repeatedly one day no matter how many times my wife ignored the call. Then he did it again after she hung up on him once and refused the second call. I took the third call just to see where it might lead. Nothing lost. Nothing gained. I wish it were more amusing. I post here as a warning. We received a total of seven calls from this number.
I googled the phone number, buzzfile.com linked the number to Smart Key Investments according to in Salem, OR and lists a Jack Frazier as an agent. This is the address associated with the business according to buzzfile.com: 2755 Commercial St SE Ste 101-151 Salem, OR, 97302-4981 United States. There doesn’t seem to be much further information about this business or phone number other than a reposted warning on facebook from the Oregon secretary of state about another scam using that address with different details.
