Why are the Pakistani Scammers Calling Me?

On Feb 12th and 14th , I received a call from Pakistan. So I googled the numbers and also "Pakistan call", and discovered that it's a scam operating out of Pakistan.

FYI "92" is Pakistan area code.

Luckily I know no Pakistani or Urdu.

I figured something was up when the last time they called, they called at 7AM!

My guess is, the previous owner of my phone number was South Asian.

Followup: on Feb. 14 I received another wrong number at 10:07 PM. Dunno how my phone number has gotten onto someone else's mail list.

I am guessing, it might be a follow-up call to getting my new Acer LiquidE.
