This 407-412-9892 number called both my Mom's home phone and mine this morning. We're in 2 different area codes and our last names are not the same. I've also been getting strange calls like this from a Ogden Utah number. After getting the 6th call from the Utah number, I threatened the caller "I'd report them to the Government, if they called me again I was on the Government DNC List"! She replied, "It may take 30 days to get your number removed from our list"! I said, "No! I won't accept that answer, I repeat, If you call me again, I'm reporting you"! They were calling me a couple times a day, it's completely stopped. Guess I'll do the same with this 407 number.
Both my Mom & I just signed up with Comcast phone service in past 3 weeks. I've came to the conclusion, Comcast is SELLING our numbers to mass marketing lists! When we got our new Comcast numbers, we both immediately signed up for the Government "Do Not Call" list.
A very loud, very obnoxious guy called into our law firm asking for "the owner". Always a bad sign as this is a law firm where the owner's name is the business name! LOL! So, I asked the - uh...gentleman the purpose of his call and if the attorney was expecting him and he said that he was calling from the NEW YORK Police Athletic League and when I asked, he said that "YES,[he] was expecting the call".
Well, seeing as how we are in FLORIDA that made no sense, but I did not know if my boss had signed up for something, so...I'm polite and kind to EVERY caller because you simply never know
I asked the guy to hold, told the attorney that it might be solicitation and be prepared to hang up, but the guy hung up before he was even transferred. Maybe had second thoughts about trying to scam a lawyer?
Regardless, we've never been called before by these clowns and I am worried as 'Funny Mermaid' posted that she switched to Comcast and the calls started. We JUST ordered Comcast Business 'net & phone and we are 'porting' the same phone numbers that we have always used. I believe that 'Mermaid might just be on to something and since our service has not yet commenced, I will be asking them in writing if they have sold our number. I will only accept an answer in writing and I'll post if it's anything noteworthy.
This number just called the man stated he was with fl police intel and wanted to speak with me tried get info out of me with no reason for this info so I just hung up if this number calls do not talk to them or give them any info.
