Just recieved a text to my at&t phone saying "Sent you an email. When you get a chance do take a look at it.".... of course, i never recieved an email... just the text to the mobile, trying to get me to call...
07/22/2010 rec'd at 11:03 a.m. rang a few times but I couldn't get to it. No message left. From your reports, a hoax is most likely - or just trying to confirm my cell # as active, compile a list & sell it to a marketer. I get these calls even though my cell # is on my State attorney general's "No Call" list!
I too am in Texas and got I got a call from this number last night on my cell phone (AT&T), at almost midnight. I didn't recognize the number so I let it go to voicemail. They didn't leave any message. However, my husband is away on a business trip, so I called the number in case it was him or someone else calling after an emergency, but I too got an automated answer from Verizon stating that the number I was trying to reach was not in use.
To the people filing complaints with the DNC registry-as it appears that this is a scam, and that they are using a fake number, does this make sense to file a complaint? Isn't the DNC registry to prevent legitimate telemarketers from calling? I can't imagine that this would stop scam artists.
today for the 3rd time in 3 months I got this automated call to reactivate my ATM card on my cell phone # which very few people have, not even my bank. Its really starting to p$@s me off. I've got better things to do that deal with frauds, someone please shut them down
