Just got a recorded call in Spanish on my cell phone. I couldn't tell you if it was an unsolicited telespam advertisement or just a wrong number, but I heard "marque el número uno" in the message which is common Spanish for "press number one" in phone menus. The phone number was 347-201-4567, an area code located in the Bronx in New York City.
One of my Hispanic co-workers told me some people were running credit card scams in Spanish to try and screw unknowing Spanish-speakers into giving up personal information. I wonder if this was related to that.

Just got another one from 301-202-8808. Pre-recorded in a male Spanish voice that gave the distinct impression of an unsolicited advertisement of some sort.
