When I picked up the phone, the guy on the other side politely explained that due to low demand for home phones, Verizon decided to cut phone bill by 40%. But in order to do that, they need to verify some personal information. The guy became very angry by raising voice when I said that I will call Verizon. The guy was very demanding and insulting. The person ended the call by stating '[***] Off'. I don't usually get upset but that set me off. I called the number and the automated service sounded like, 'Weslet Communications' and gave a 800 number if I wanted to put it on do not call list. I am going to call Verizon as well.
So I get at least 1 call everyday. No one ever answers when I pick up. I'm on the do not call list. I even called and left complaints with the do not call people. But I am still getting calls. I even get calls after 10pm. How can I get them to stop? I can't get ahold of a company that leaves no contact information.
Appears to be a scam with caller some information about your phone account when they call.
Two calls from this number today. Woman asked if I was (my wife's name) and I replied I was her husband, caller stated they were AT&T wanting to lower my phone rate due to low call volume. There was unprofessional chatter in the background and woman had a voice that sounded like she had used way too much meth or other drugs. She then started asking for information about me and said she would need to transfer me to a recorded independent 3rd party for additional verification. I hung up without giving any information. This appears to be a phishing scam to obtain additional personal information. The unnerving part part is they had my wife correct name and we do have AT&T for local and long distance. I told them I would call AT&T direct and ask for the discount (which I'm sure does not exist, since when does a big company call you asking if its OK for you to give them less money).
I also received a call from this number with the same information....calling from AT&T....I was eligible for lower phone bill...it was when she said all Long Distance would go thru Peak Communication....at that point I asked who she was calling from - oh Peak Communication......and what would the charge be for Long Distance...$5.95/mo.
At that point I told her NO - DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES.....so she hung up on me.
I guess they called my home and my Husband answered, and fell for it now I have this 6 dollar charge on my bill that I already cancelled but is still there. They do lie and say it changes your bill to a low amount but it really just adds there amount to what your already paying then you have to pay a set amount per minute used for long distance. Not only that but they still call constantly and there's never anyone on the line and when I called to cancel it they said you have to subscribe to a different long distance plan or you will still get charged, which I had already done. I think I am just gonna get my land line turned off, telemarketers are the only ones who call it anyway, it's so annoying I want to brake my phone!
