I purchased a product from a tv infomercial and gave them my cell phone so they would not be calling me at home. I believe these people passed on my number to all sorts of companies, because I have been getting calls from different area codes - I never answer those calls because I don't know anyone in any of the areas I get calls from.
Companies sell their customer lists to other companies.
It's better to not give any phone number to these companies.
Ever since I signed up with AT&T to get an iphone, I have received 3 or 4 calls per day from random numbers out of georgia and louisiana, texas etc. and I live in Wa state. Most of the time there is no one there, and they don't leave a voicemail.
Just about every time, I get on here and sure enough they are all scammers.
How can I stop this? AT&T says there is nothing they can do, other than change my number again (first number they gave me was already assigned to a local business, so that was fun)..
call me twice a day. Don't answer the calls. My number isn't out there on facebook or any social network site. I have had my phone number not even a month and have only given in to family. How does that work!!!!
