Did she say it like {Google and Yahoo} or {{Google} and {Yahoo}}? The former
would indicate it's *most* definitely a scam, but either way, it's
definitely a scam. Haven't heard of such stories, but telemarketers are one
of the reasons I rarely answer the phone (never at work). It's like SPAM.
The are killing the medium.
