EE Broadway Local Posted March 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2011 If you haven't received a cell phone call from '1-800-000-0611' yet, please be careful if you do. I don't think it's legitimate. An automated voice claims, for security reasons, your cell phone account has been flagged and begins by asking for your PIN number. I tried calling it back but at least on Verizon Cellular you can't. Nor can you through Qwest. It seems to be getting bad with the phising, scam, and spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messino Posted March 30, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 30, 2011 Someone you know is trying to get into your voicemail. Its really easy to spoof the caller ID into any number you want it to say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted March 30, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2011 I get "phishy" text messages often and an occasional call from an area code that is in the southern states (Mississippi was one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messino Posted March 30, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 30, 2011 Its called Caller ID spoofing and anyone can do you. There are even websites out there that let you buy a subscriptiion or minutes so you can change your caller ID to anything you want it to say when you call someone. THis has been around for years.. The problem is with scammers like this that try to steal your money or cell phone pins etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted March 31, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 31, 2011 Be very careful if you try to redial anything with these area codes, while they may seem like regular phone numbers, they are International calls and you will be charged very high rates for dialing them. 284(British Virgin Islands) 242(Bahamas) 246(Barbados) 268(Antigua/Barbuda) 345(Cayman Islands) 664(Montserrat) 670(Northern Mariana Islands) 758(St. Lucia) 787(Puerto Rico) 767(Dominica) 809(Dominican Republic) 869(St. Kitts & Nevis) 868(Trinidad & Tobago) 876(Jamaica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share #14 Posted March 31, 2011 Thank you, SevenEleven. That's where I got the information after my cellular telephone rang and my voice caller ID said 'Call From 800-000-0611'. I felt it was important enough and the weirdness of an 000 exchange number to pass on. http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-000-0611/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
