They have found me!

I received a recorded message this morning, purportedly from China Telecom (中国电讯) saying I owe them Y3816 and thus our phone service was about to be terminated.

After repeating the msg, I pressed '9' which turned my incoming call into an outgoing call, apparently to China Telecom. The lady asked for my name, which I gave, not suspecting anything yet. After confirming my Chinese name, she put me on hold. I could hear she was just covering her mouthpiece and mumbled something to someone else before she came back saying my Beijing telephone was up to date with payments but several months ago I went to their Wuhan office to open a new line (027-53302021) with bills attached to this Beijing number. Now I owe them Y3816. She asked could it be that that amount was expensed by my business office in Wuhan.

That throw me off quite a bit.

She then said I went there (to open that account) using my identity card (身份证).

I DONT OWN ONE!!!!!!

By now, I was suspicious, so I ask her for her number so I could check and then call her back. Her tel is 10000. Her tag number is 0127. She said she was calling from Bai Yu Shan (白玉山) near Wuhan, with very deep southern accent.....

I am now convinced if I were to call back, she will ask me to deposit Y3816 into a specific account somewhere.
