I keep getting scan calls and scan text messages. AT&T can't do anything about it.
I called PUCO and they gave me the phone number to "The Office Of The President" for AT&T.
When I called them, she asked me "Where did you get this number from?" I told her PUCO.
The number is 1-800-564-3844
If we ALL use that number to complain, we might get somewhere about this crap.
They kept saying they were part of a company in Pheonix Arizona called "Everyday Shoppers" and would provide me with a name of the person (my case, Lisa that obviously had a heavy indian accent) and her ID number which means nothing.
She kept asking why I didn't want to do it when I just bluntly said i think this is a scam and I don't trust it. She started getting irritated. :)
And I asked how they got my number. Apparently they change their numbers up.
DO NOT USE THIS. Probably a scam, like 100000% sure :D
Either way, my privacy is worth way more than $70 potentially. :P
They said they would only charge $2 and that they would get a verbal recording of my approving it. Blah. Bad people, and apparently outsourced :P
The number they texted me from was 415-373-8156.
And they refused to get a prepaid card too. =P
OH! Also I could not call back she said it was a one time offer. Funny huh?
Text read as follows:

Maybe this will help - I'm with Sprint and I used to be ATT.
Text message on a cell phone that is on the do not call list. My number has not been put on facebook or any other site that I know of.

My cell provider has blocked this number for me.
Got the same "Thx 4 Visiting Our Site Call 877-220-2710 To Claim Your $20 Wal-Mart Card Plus $50 Gas Card! Reply STOP 2Unsub" message- the area code for 415 is near San Fransisco.
