Got a call from this number, 316-300-0000, at 4:44 PM today - and it popped up on my cell phone from Kansas. Area Code 316 is Wichita. Further, my caller ID said it was a person named Ron Gier, who google associated with that majorly sucky SPRINT corporation.
Yes, the same sucky company that lays off thousands of employees at a time, some times right before the holidays, and sold off thousands of network employees to their bedmate, Ericsson. And yes, the same company who bought Nextel for a bizillion dollars and then lost their pants with the sour deal for no other reason than to pay bonus and stock to former Nextel managers and excutives who have now screwed the once powerful and admired Sprint Corporation into the ground. Yes, a wonderful example of American Greed and how to destroy what once was an excellent example of American Business. Sprint used to command a huge amount of respect in the marketplace - remember Candice Bergen and the PIN DROP commercials? But now, it's all been squandered by executives who actually get paid to destroy what was once great. Shame on the FCC for allowing any of this to happen, but, most of all - shame on those individuals at Sprint and their board of directors that knowlingly went down this road. It's a pity, too, since Sprint was founded by good people who actually cared about families and communities. Now, it's all about money. Money. Money. And, they don't care how they get it - they just want it - more and more of it. Not for their employees - but for their executives. What a perfect example of GREED. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Yeah I pressed 1 to see if this was real or not, cause I don't have any credit cards...when this foreigner answered, he went into his speech about lowering my interest rate and that he was calling from Experian. I told him I didn't have any cc's he said you don't have a visa/mastercard...I said no...he said you do have a discover/american express....i said no...he acted as if he thought I was lying. I said to please stop calling because this is a scam...he started saying f you real bad...and when I asked to speak to his supervisor he hung up. SMH...I wish the government would do something about this!
Do not answer or reply to the call...this will indicate your phone # is active and within 10 minutes will probably be sold to scammers all over the world
It is as others have stated, a scam to get your credit card information, a recorded message saying this is your 2nd and final call. They've stopped calling my home phone and now have hit up my cell. I'm looking for work so every phone call I get where I don't recognize the number I am hoping is an interview call, so this really pisses me off. What's the kicker this time is the area code is 316, my own area code. Usually I can recognize it as one of those calls when it's from a state I know no one in, like FL, or etc. Not this time. I hope these scammers get caught!
Why don't they have "scam" as a call type in the drop down menu?
Well when someone is looking for work like me they get phone calls from people they don't know all the time, and when the call has my same area code? kinda hard to tell it's a scam til you answer the phone.
Just got a call from the 316-300-0000 number a few minutes ago. I do not have any credit cards but I still get calls and texts for who ever had my number before. So figured I will push 1 and let them know this is no longer his number. When I pushed 1 there a long pause and the same recorded voice extension was unavailable and was disconnected. When I called it back the same voice said the number could not be called as dialed. I just thought it was weird it wasn't a different voice when I tried to call back. Definite scam.
