336-217-0879 has also called me but I was not home and clearly they did not leave a message. The caller ID says Southnet. In addition, they have shown up on caller ID as 336-217-0876 and 336-217-0875. Anytime someone calls and claims they need to work out information about one of my accounts, I always ask for a number where I can call them back and then I call the publicly listed phone number for the bank, etc and make sure the number the person gave me on the phone is legitimate. If it is, then I will talk to them using the publicly listed phone number.
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,

When I told the caller this number was on the do not call list, he told me that this was not a telemarketer and he could call. I hung up and filled out a complaint with the do not call registry. ( really simple ) Here is theURL . https://www.donotcall.gov/confirm/conf.aspx If they receive enough complaints maybe they will do something about it.
Judie, you want us to stop calling? Answer the phone, listen to what we have to say and POLITELY ask to be taken off the list or say you are not intrested in doing a survey. If you hang up we are to assume maybe the phone slipped or the cord came out of the wall. We only know you are saying no if you actually indicate it is a no.
