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.
Honest Abe, I agree with about Sprint, they were wonderful company, and yes became greedy in a really bad way! My husband and I have been with them for over 12 years, for us, the last 6 years have been the worst. But David is right, was not Sprint that called you.
Received a call. Did not pick up. I'm in the Midwest, United States. Based on reports I'm reading in this block, I'm guessing that this is a computer that is searching/seeking out numbers.
If you have a smart phone, here's what I suggest you do...
1) In your Contacts/Address Book, create a Contact with the name "DO NOT CALL" or "DO NOT ANSWER"
2) Every time an unrecognized number calls you, DON'T ANSWER--let it ring through, and then Google the number and see what sites like this, and others, say about the number.
3) If suspicious, add the number to your "DO NOT CALL" contact. On more recent phones running Android, for example... a single contact can have 20, 25, even 30 different phone numbers associated with them!
4) If your phone won't let you add any more numbers to your contact, start another contact... call it "DO NOT CALL2"... and then "DO NOT CALL3"... etc.
You'd be surprised how many of these numbers cycle around. A lot of telemarketers and scam artists use the same numbers over and over again. Wichita, in particular, is a hotbed of criminal activity, especially the fraudulent telemarketer type. Several scam operations and false collection agencies are operated by Koch Industries.
Since I live in Kansas I answered this call and right away I thought it was a scam. They told me my discover card was going to 25% interest and they could give me 5%. I dont have a discover card. Told her I was chief of detectives in Kansas City and she said she wasnt scared of me and continued to try and get my discover card number Somebody needs to figure out who the cell phone carrier is and get them to kill this number, someone is probably paying extra for it due to to the unique digits. I am alerting Kansas attorney general offce so maybe they will do something rather than arrest people wo use birth control
Just received a call from this number. DO NOT ANSWER THIS CALL. I am glad I did not do so. If you don't recogonize the number or name on your Caller ID, do not bother answering it. This is from some telemarketer - check it out on Google.
