I'm in the middle of a work meeting, I get a call from 213-799-0709 out of Los Angeles, California. I don't know anyone in LA, CA, I let it go to voicemail. After the meeting, I check for a voicemail and there is one. A female computer voice left a snippet of message , "(voicemail begins)...press 1 now and you will be transfered to our 24 hour security...(voicemail ends)". I call the number back, no ring and no connection happens. I try a couple more times with a 1+, same thing. I Google the number and find 800notes.com, my suspicions are confirmed. Phone Scammers trolling for PCI and PII info.
this is a no profit organization to help home owner with mortgage problems the give you and 800 number to contact them for help or the give you and option to be removed from there list up to you which you do
I received a call from this number telling me my Mission Federal Credit Union account has been compromised and to press 7 to continue. I dont have a Mission Federal Credit Union account but I did call them and report the scammer!
Yes I received the dreaded hang up call from this number. I called it back ad got their 800 number so I called it. The gentleman said it was a non profit org trying to help with mortgage problems. I informed him I would call a lawyer and find out just how legit they are and told him "remove my number from the list". After I once again informed him I would file a complaint with the new goverment agency Consumer Protection he assured me my number would be removed.
Here is my take on these "legitimate companies". If they were actually legit they would leave a voice message. I have a anti telemarketer vm on my number.
On top of everything else it is my cell number and even if they are a non profit org are not suppossed to call a cell number!
FCC complaints do no good. Those people are just sitting there collecting paychecks and thats about it. I have filed three FCC complaints on organizations and I received the exact same chain letter respons to my complaints.
