I found a post on the BBB site with a description of a possible grandparent scam, on a whim I texted it and they called me back.

The unique sounds of “behind de bars” were going on in the background so I strongly believe these guys are in a Georgia facility.

I left a voicemail. We’ll see if they call me back. Bad, obviously recorded from the speakerphone from another cell VM message.
I can’t find the provider for (615) 829-6789, maybe a burner.
