Researched source of 214-858-4572. AT&T is calling to offer a service. Because they are a telecommunications company, they are not regulated by the FTC and are not subject to the do not call list.
I called AT&T customer service who said they could add me to their Do Not Call list, but it will take up to 30 days to finalize it, and it is only valid for 5 years. They also agreed to reimburse the two *69 fees that I paid to identify who was calling.
In addition to the hang-up calls, we also did talk with an Indian gentleman last week, with AT&T (he called at 9 a.m. on a Saturday). My husband asked to have us removed from the call list, and the Indian guy said, "I will add you to the call back list." and hung up...
Currently getting calls 3x or more a day from this number. Picking up is no answer. Their exemption from the Do Not Call list is bogus, something to contact my government representatives about I guess. In the meantime, calling that often a day is ridiculous so I'll be complaining to them.
Received a call from this number just a few minutes ago. When I answered, there was silence and then a hang up. I called the number back and it was AT&T. When I asked why they called and hung up, the man with AT&T said he was in Oklahoma and that his phones aren't capable of making outgoing calls. (Yeah, right!) I told him that that's a neat trick since my AT&T Caller ID showed that the call was from 214-858-4572. He then asked me, "Well, for some reason, your call back was switched to me. Why were they calling you?" I said, "I'm not a psychic so I can't answer your question." What a boob!!!
It's pretty bad when your own phone company prank calls you!
