I've been getting calls from this number for months now at random hours during the day when I'm at work. Never any messages left on my voicemail. Last night, another call came in after I got home from work, so I decided to answer to see who in the world it was. The caller claimed to be from Comcast and was asking for the reason I had scheduled a disconnnect of my service. Of course I hadn't done any such thing, and I assume they would have disconnected it by now if I HAD put in a request since I've been getting a call from this same number for months.
He then asked what service package I had, which immediately put up a red flag. I told him, "the same one I had at our old place" which apparently threw him. He started stammering and said he didn't have my file to look it up, but they had some great promotions to offer to me. To an existing customer who recently moved and signed up for a promotional offer?
What a scam. I've received fake letters claiming to be from Comcast in the past that claim they have had to run a credit check and that there will be an extra fee added to my bill. Call this number to get the details and have the fee waived. I never called and never had any extra charges on any bills from this "credit check". I'm assuming these are all part of the same scam to solicit personal information.
Given that other people seem to be getting calls from this same number claiming to be from the "MD Special Olympics" - it seems obvious that this number is toxic. Under no circumstances should you answer a call from this number. Hope this helps.

I just missed a call from this number, and I just cancelled Comcast (due to a move), so I wonder if there is a connection to the two based on the postings above.
I second what Jeff said. I recently moved, and have been receiving calls from this number since then. I've never answered (I typically don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize), but they continue to call at strange times of the day and they never leave a message. I've saved this number in my phone as "Don't Answer" to remind myself not to pick up when this number pops up.
