I have been getting calls from 877-276-3327 for the past couple of days now. No messages, no voicemails, nothing. Here is what I have done thus far:
"Have received numerous calls. 1. 1/22/08 @ 3:10PM 2. 1/23/08 @1:44PM 3. 1/25/08 @10:18AM (Called them back shortly after to see who it was at 10:27AM on the same day) 4. 1/25/08 @12:34PM (This time did some research before calling them back and returned the call at 12:41PM).
Got an answer almost immediately. Informed the man I needed to speak with Shawn McGraw and he asked for an extension number. I told him I didn't know, he just left a message saying to call him back at this number. He said please hold while I try to locate him. Came back 20 seconds later saying: (TM=telemarketer)
(TM)"I'm sorry, we don't have a Shawn McGraw listed in our company directory."
(ME)"Well who's been calling me and leaving messages?"
(TM)"I don't know, we don't have anyone by that name here."
(ME)"Alright, here's what's going to happen. You guys are going to stop calling me. If the calls don't stop, I will be reporting this number to my local Federal authorities."
(TM)"If that will make you feel better sir, go ahead and do that."
(ME)"I also wanted to let you know that this number is plastered all over the internet as being a scam to collect CC information."
(TM)"Which number?"
(ME)"877-276-3327"
(TM)"I'm sorry sir, our number is 877-2-FOUR-6-3327" (emphasis his)
(ME)"You're kidding right? I'm looking at my recent call list and the number I have on my screen and it says 877-276-3327. That's odd."
(TM)"That is odd. Hold on, let me call that number."
He puts me on hold, 'calls the number' then returns.
(TM)"There is only silence when I call that number."
(ME)"Are you sure it wasn't a busy tone because you're calling from your own number?"
(TM)"No, it's not our number sir."
(ME)"Are you a comedian on the side or something? This is hilarious! How do you explain my call list with this number calling me 3 times in the past week?"
(TM)"What's your problem sir? I'm just trying to do my job and you're making fun of me."
(ME)"Getting a little unprofessional aren't we?"
(TM)"You're the one being unprofessional here."
(ME)"It's not my job to be professional, it's your job to take the calls and..."
And he proceeded to hang up on me.
Just wanted to share this info with the online community.
Caller ID: 8772763327"
I called them again a few minutes later and all I get is "All of our representatives are blah blah blah, please hold for our next available representative" for five minutes straight. Odd, the first two times I called they picked up right away! My Wife called our cell provider and had them uncheck the option to allow solicitors to call us (don't know how it got checked off in the first place). We'll see if the calls continue...
We have had the Number for like 8 months....but since i put our number on that nationwide Do NOT call list it has Helped ALOT...just these calls for 'Shannon'...
