We have a cell phone account with one of the top ranking cell phone providers (I doubt that it is ok to say who in this furom). I posted an angry message about this scam 20 hours ago. There are 4 cell phones associated with this cell phone account. ALL 4 CELL PHONES got the same call within an approximate 1 hour time frame, beginning with the phone with the "lowest" number (i.e. starts with "2") and ending with the highest in sequence, approximately 15 minutes apart. (to be fair, the last of the four calls was not answered, and no voice mail was left, but no one calls that number at 12:30 am.) My provider insists this is coincidence.
Are the rest of you who are getting these call getting them on your cell phones? Just curious. I believe my cell phone providers list of phone numbers has been compromised.
12:30 AM -- received the same call as all of the rest of you on my CELL PHONE. I have a sick mother and I panicked when this call woke me thinking it was an emergency. I agree with SleepDeprived -- I think our cell company (starts with a V and end in erizon) has had their list of phone numbers compromised). Thanks to these jerks I'm facing another night of insomnia.
TrishInTexas,
I'm with a different cell phone company than you, but I think most of the complaints I have read about this scam (in this forum and others) have been received on cell phones. 2 of 4 of our cell phones received the call again yesterday before noon. Frustrating!
We are getting calls from 530-230-5125 and 815-730-4900 about same Point Bank regarding account how do we stop these calls. My calls started after I placed a Hotel request thru Price Line. That is the only place that I released my Cell Phone numbers that the above numbers are calling. AHow do we get these stoped?
Received exact same message as the rest of you. Is this not illegal in some way? It is definitely a fraudulent practice, surely there is somewhere to report this? I would hate my 79 year old mother to get that call and give the requested information because she doesn't know any better. Reprehensible!!
