Have you received a call from (201) 279 5861, a Union City, New Jersey number?  If so, don't answer!!

It's a scam.  The number has been calling my cell phone each week for about a month-and-a-half, ringing once or twice and then disconnecting.  I have never called it back, but someone who posted on the "WhyCallMe" website did call it back, and it was a recording saying that they had won some money.

Another one of the contributors to that site did some research, and found that the company the number is registered to, Trinity International, INC, has ties to the country of Ghana, a country known for perpetrating scams online and via telephone.

Your best bet would to be to "Block" that call on your phone, if you have the capability.  Otherwise, don't answer that call, and don't call it back!!  Better safe than sorry!
