Type of a scam Utility

She was asking about lowering my rates. I did not answer with a yes to questions. She placed me on hold to check rates. Then I starting receiving other calls. When she came back on the line I was answering yes to a drive thru employee. Then she hung up the line after she she hear me say yes. It was perfect timing for her. I do have allstate insurance and they where supposed to call me back with more information. I just felt like she was trying to get me to say yes. I tried calling the number back and it just goes to a voice mail box that is not setup. I’m very concerned about this.

Received in September 2018 two letters with quotes for home owners insurance. Letter is dated March 21, 2018 printed on bright pink paper and says I requested the quote. Tried calling the number provided twice and both times preparer was in a meeting. Possibly a scam or unfavorable business practice.

Type of a scam Phishing

I don’t typically answer unknown phone numbers, but I was expecting a call due an insurance claim in progress. A local phone number called me, and the person said they were from Allstate (which is my insurance company), and asked if I was the homeowner at [my address]. I said yes. They then asked who my insurance company was, and I said Allstate. They then said this was a sales call, and they were putting me on hold for a sales person. This call sounded bizarre, so I hung up.

It sounded an awful lot like the "can you hear me" scam, so I am taking all necessary precautions because I did say "yes".
