multiple #'s to 1 phone-how do you know who they're calling for?

[veggiegymrat]

So something just occurred to me-if you have multiple numbers forwarded to one phone and ebay calls you for whatever random reason, how are you supposed to know which account they're calling about? Do they say "hi, is so and so, user id xyz there?" I doubt it. So what do they say when they call and how do you differentiate what account they're calling about?

Thanks!

You have all your info handy and written down. They will call asking for so and so.

Okay great, easy help, thanks for that. I wasn't sure if they tried to fish it out of you or if they plainly stated who they were calling for. I have 2 numbers forwarded to my husband's cell so I'll have to give him a copy of my spreadsheet.

Thanks RSOT!

I add all my stealth #s and information to my forwarding phone.

If eBay calls, my caller ID says that.

Matt Johnson (stealth name) is calling me. I know that it's either eBay or PayPal.

I also have the stealth birthday, address, security questions, etc. saved to my contact list.

Good luck.

Yeah, that's the same with mine. When ebay/pp calls my steath -- that number shows up on my phone. I know then who it is and my info is all written down ready to go.
