Got a call from this number in regards to our business account w/ AT&T. I told her the person in charge the account isn't it the office. Then I called AT&T directly, was informed that this number is not affiliated with AT&T whatsoever. I called the number back, and their recording even says AT&T (how smart). So I told them to put our business on DO NOT CALL list and told him I have confirmed w/ ATT already, and he didn't say anything.
This number has called 5 times in the last 3 weeks, leaving a message:
"This is Candace Ross, on behalf of AT&T California, your local phone service. I need to speak to you today about your account. Call 877-575-8666 x 363."
And with a Sioux City caller ID... yeah, right!
A Google search reveals that the above 877 number could be associated with Northern California Urban Development as per this email marketing from September 16, 2010:
You're all so stupid. Go to ATT.com/telemarketing. Look up California, and you'll see Tmone as part of ATT's telemarketing groups. We say we're calling on behalf of ATT because we don't get a check from ATT, but we do all upgrades and renewals for ATT since they're such a large company. Don't believe me? look at that website, then go look at ATT's new bundles, and then call the 877-575-8666 number and believe you will be offered the same bundle if you don't already have it. It's ok if you don't call back, or if you don't answer the call, because all that means is that you're plans are either expired or on older rates, which means you pay more every month, which in turn keeps ATT in business, which also in turn keeps me and 37 other people in South Dakota a job. I've worked this job over a year now, and in most cases can tell you that we will save you anywhere between $5-$500 a month. So if were calling, in most cases its to renew your services and lower your bill. It's your decision if you'd rather waste your money. But being the most broke state in the United States, I'd think you'd rather save money.
