This sounds like piracy -- "unregulated service" scammers, who get you to sign up for some bogus "service." Incredibly, they can actually use your phone company's lines AND the billing process to "get you" for a few dollars or cents a month until their scam is blown. Using the phone company lines is not actually illegal, but in doing so, they prey on phone companies' customers which is of course fraud. As I understand it, if your phone company is in a period of change or turnover, these scammers can swoop in and take advantage while their regulatory rules are in limbo. It's only speculation, but I wonder if the recent Homeland Security lawsuits against certain phone companies (like mine: Qwest) have anything to do with it. ALSO -- I talked to ALLSEC once too, and the young person who talked to me SLIPPED with his language and said "Have you been sent over to billing?" and I caught it, and said, "Billing?? I haven't agreed to buy anything!" and the kid was flustered and said, "Oh, I mean our information center," or something like that. DON'T LET THEM TALK YOU INTO ANYTHING.
this number calls almost everyday. there will be dead silence and a person with an Indian-sounding accent will answer. i asked to be removed from their calling list, but the calls continue.
Continue to call and harass about changing from current phone company to reduced rates. Told them not interested and not to call back.Of course, this never works. Called name was Serena Matthews or so she said
