I just got this call, ON MY CELL PHONE, and when I called back, it went to a "sure-tel voicemail system" of some guy named Matt at extension 330". Didn't say a company name or anything. so I hung up. I don't know anyone in North Carolina, why would they call my cell #? Uggh! Going on my auto-reject list!
I keep receiving calls from them on my cell phone. I dont put that number out there anywhere for these kinds of reasons. How they got my cell number gets me. They call and ask me about my household appliances. I have not bought anything new in a few years now. I told them that if they call me one more time I am going to press harrassment charges on them. This is so annoying!!
SouthNet, which is located in Hamilton, AL, is a small Internet Service Provider with a total of six (6) employees. I know everyone that works for this company and I myself am also an employee of SouthNet. SouthNet is a local
company doing business in Marion, Winston, and Walker Counties. We are not licenced to work outside of this area. WE ARE NOT TELEMARKETS! We are not making these calls! In fact, if you were to actually receive a call from SouthNet (and you never will), your caller ID would NOT say SouthNet. I will not disclose what our Caller ID is, but I assure you, it is NOT SouthNet. The numbers 336-217-0882, 336-217-0875 or any other number with a (336) area code is not SouthNet numbers. If you receive a phone call and your caller ID says SouthNet, then you are a victim of "Caller ID Spoofing". The call back number is most likely spoofed as well. We, the employees of SouthNet, are also
victims of this Spoofing. We have received phone calls from all over the United States from the nice to the really nasty.
Once again, SouthNet Internet Service Provider is not the origin of these calls.
So please, in the future all compliants concerning received calls with the Caller ID 'SouthNet', should be directed to the phone company with which you have your service.
Thank you,

They have called me a few times. When I returned the call, a message says "the line has been disconnected or is no longer in service". Something is definitely fishy about these folks. I'm gonna answer next time and tear them a new a--hole! But I have a feeling it will just be a disconnect anyway. Anybody know whats going on?
