I had a phone call yesterday which I felt I must simply share. I had a call from the UK from a man that sounded like he was probably 30-40 and had a strong local accent. He said
'are you the bitcoin buyer'
I said ' I sometimes buy them but I like bitcoins so thats me'
He said ' I have 300 casascius bitcoins the first ones do you want to buy them?'
I said 'I already have 2 but would love to add more to the series 1 one bitcoins. What denomination are you talking and what coin material?'

This went on for a while and I actually had to explain what the concept of denomination is (I was giving him time to explain).

Anyway I asked in a nice way if he had proof he had them and I would turn up within a day with 40k cash to buy 100 of them. He said he can't work out how to upload a photo on his computer but his last remark was this ' I bought them ages ago. I actually have a few thousand bitcoins on a memory stick but I didn't really understand them I bought them because of Max Keiser'

After a few seconds we hung up.

He didn't try to scam me so why did he call me up and talk such rubbish?
Probably the first thing you should have asked him that from where he got your number ,If it was some stealer of people bad for bitcoin growth then it is a matter for concern for you ,though he has not scammed you but he has opened the doors and his friends might have known till that you hold a good fiat amount and they could try next time with another leads.
Be careful !!
