Trafficmaster scam?

We are having very persistant phone calls from an American company who claim we have some Trafficmaster shares despite the fact that we sold them when the company was taken over last year. Just wondered if anyone else is receiving these calls.
we anticipate that at some point we will be asked for some money to enable us to get these shares - needless to say we won`t be sending them any

Like you have guessed its advanced fee fraud. They contact all the people on the share register for the company, and say they are wanting to buy your shares for a inflated sum. They just need a fake NDA signed, and some fake legal fees paying before paying you.0
