Got a call from this number with a robo-prompt, then spoke to a woman who's aid she was with Credit Management Services and claimed I owed Time Warner Cable (TWC) money from 2010. I'm a current TWC customer and have been for over 8 years.
The woman from Credit Management wanted me to give her my credit card for immediate payment. I refused to give her my credit card number over the phone since they hadn't sent me a bill and my last TWC statement showed my account as current. I got all of their info and called TWC's billing department. They looked at my accounts going back three years and said nothing was due and that my account was paid up to date. The TWC agent said this was the third call he had gotten in the past week from a customer. He said it was a scam, took down the info and sent it to their fraud department. They also said that you NEVER give your credit card number over the phone unless you initiate the call.
I called the number on my caller ID back at the Credit Management company and told them if they wanted payment, they would have to send a bill with all the info and I would pay it in person at Time Warner. The woman didn't even know my address, which I refused to verify. I've been at the same address for two years and same phone number for three. I told her to send it to my office address and once I got it I would pay if anything was owed, but not before then. She hung up on me.

I have read through all your post and its funny because when I called I got a recorded message about donations to charities and fundraising....go figure. I call the FTC and report all these #s that keep calling me, now everyone needs to know the more info you give them the better it will be and in some instances they want to do an investigation; I have never went that far YET!!! If it continues then I will have to take a pre-emptive strike and I would suggest that everyone else does the same....that is the only way these fake scammers are going to get the message. Let a FED walk up and knock on their door and see what they say then. Just a suggestion.
