I'm freaking out right now about a phone call I got....please help (more):
I was at dinner with one of my buddies and I get a call on my cell phone. The caller didn't have a number on my caller ID, but it turns out it was Sprint. Here is a conversation log as close as I can possibly remember verbatim:
Caller: "Hello, this is Sprint Relay Calling Service. I have a person messaging you through the internet. Have you had a relay call before?"
Me: "No...what is this for?"
Caller: "Sprint allows users to message people on the internet or through their cell phones. I relay the online message to you, and you can respond with whatever you'd like and I type the response to the sender."
Me: "Ok?"
Caller: "The sender has an incoming message: "Is this __________?""
Me: "Yea, who is this?"
Caller: "Message says: "How's your S4?""
Me: "Fine...who is this?"
Caller: "Message says: "West Nile Audi of America"
Me: "What the....? Who?"
(long pause for 20 seconds or so)
Caller: "Message says: "Just confirming your ownership of the S4. Thanks.""
Me: "Would you know who the sender of the message is or where the message is being sent from?"
Caller: "I have no way of telling who the sender is. Sorry."
So now I'm pretty much freaking out. I have no clue as to who the caller is, and it sounds REALLY fishy. I really wanted to know who it was, and that was part of the reason why I kept going with the conversation. He sounded legit....but I'm really freaking out. Anyone have any similar experience???

Not many of my friends know what "santorin" is.....
and if they were Audiworld folk I know personally, they wouldn't really do that to me.
Friend of mine says it might be the dealership, but why would they be doing that at 9pm at night???

btw, sprint relay calling is legit...
it's a service they offer for deaf people:

but obviously the person calling you isn't deaf...definitely sounds fishy
