I keep getting this scam at work.People call wanted to know my barcode on my copy machine.Why.?
I ask them what business they are calling from and they hang up.How does this scam work and what do they get out of it.

Best answer:

Probably going to send (and bill you for) a bunch of toner. You are smart to be curious. With the bar code information, they can make it look like you placed the order!
