CALLED MY BUSINESS TODAY, ASKED IF I WAS THE ONE IN CHARGE OF MY AT&T ACCOUNT. I ASKED WHO IS THIS AND THEY ASKED ME IS THIS "$%^&*" (MY NAME) AND I ANSWERED YES, WHO IS THIS... AND THEN THEY HUNG UP. ON A CALL BACK A COMPANY IDENTIFYING ITSELF "CORPORATE OFFICE" VOICEMAIL ANSWERED. I CALLED AT&T AND ADVISED THEM THEY ARE MISLEADING PEOPLE BY IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES AS AT&T. AT&T OWNS ALL THE MAJOR TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY I'M SURE THEY WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. AT&T NEEDS TO ADAPT AN IGNORE LIST LIKE INTERNET MESSENGER.

They've called several times today -- I've answered each time with the company name, to no answer.  Very disruptive to a corporate environment!  You'd better believe that I won't be doing any business with them.

They call our business line several times a week, but there is never any answer when I pick up. I called the number back previously and got a full mailbox. However, today when I called I got a person, and gave them my number to put on their DO NOT CALL list. We'll see if it works...these jokers are driving me crazy!!!

They call at least twice a day.  Hang up when I answer.

215-525-6561

Yes, as others stated I would also like to know how to get these people to quit calling me.   I DO NOT DO TELEMARKETING.  EVER.

i just left a mesg for GREG....told him to take my number off his call list asap and to google his number and read this form.
peace!

Just found this information on another site - the company is, apparently, Birch Communication and their media contact person is:

Just received a call from 215-525-6561, answered with company name, nobody there.  This seems to be a very quickly growing trend of telemarketers calling business numbers with automated messages.  Very annoying and disruptive.
What the heck was the do not call list for if they let you sign up a business number for the list but then tell you that there is nothing that they can do about this type of call?

Called earlier to find out manager that controls our phone service.  Called again and hung up. Some of these class-action lawsuit lawyers ought to go after the telemarketing business!! They can use these websites for databases- SEE THIS WEBSITE OWNER- IDEA FOR MONETIZING YOUR SITE!

Same as the others. Is there nothing we can do to stop this ??!??!

They call several times a day, always hang up. Where can you report this?

They call me just about everyday...never leave a message on the voicemail and always hang up when I start speaking.

Hang up as soon as answered. Callback and mail bx is full. Would like to know how to get this number blocked.

Same as above

same thing several calls a day and full mailbox on call back

We (at work) get several calls a day.......very irratating.  We answer, no one is there!  I have called 1 215 525 6561 and get either a full mail box or a voice message. I have left messages to stop calling. The phone rang just now.  It is a goooooofy message about retirement income. I am letting it play.  This is like some wierd movie.

Please make them stop.  Arrrrrrhhhh

They have just started calling me.  No one there when I pick up.  Good to find some information is out there about them.  

A formal request, in writing with cc to the AG's office, to be removed from their calling list...sent to their headquarters or something?

215-525-6561   These people keep calling, I do not answer.  How do I report them, being that I am on the do not call list?

These people have been calling me multiple times a day at work.  It's always their predictive dialers since no person has ever picked up.  If anyone has had the calls stop after contacting the company please let us know.

Çalls at least once a day.  Rings and leaves no message.

THESE PEOPLE CALL E V E R Y day!!! Today twice!  I'm on the do not call list - I have carefully explained they will NEVER sell me ANYthing.  I have requested, demanded, begged to be removed from their list.  Why do they have all the rights and we can't protect ourselves from out and out harassment....plus - they use OUR phone line to try and sell their product.  If anyone has an answer, count me in.  I'd love to hang these people with my own phone cord!!!!

Media contacts

All media inquiries should be directed to:

 
I decided to look up Birch Telecom and found a site for Birch Communications.  I figured that customer service would hand me a line of bull, and their legal dept. would probably hang up on me, so I called their media contact.  

Greg Corwin
816.300.1686
gcorwin@birch.com

Now i do want to say that Mr. Corwin was very polite when I spoke to him, and very sorry that we have been bothered.  He promised that the calls would stop.  We will see.  I told him that on this site I read some entries from people that have been told the same thing, and yet the calls keep coming.
He said that this is unacceptable, and if it is one of their custormers they will be disciplined, and he will call me back and let me know what he has found out.  I will post the information if he does call back.

same issue. we have caller id and don't pick it up any number unless we recognize the number.

This number calls a few times a day...never a person on the other end....yucky!!!!!

Let's get them, why don't we forward this number to who we elect this fall. I bet something would happen. HUMMM

Getting sick of this number, It has called me at least 2 times a day and has been going on at least 3 weeks already, only about 2 % of the time someone wants to get my at@t info the rest are just hangups, This is going on wayy to long its not funny anymore.

This company has called several times.  Each time I answered they hung up.  I am on the do not call registry.

We have received numerous calls from this phone number every day more than once where no one is there they just hang up as soon as you finish the greeting. Finally today someone spoke and when I asked them to remove us because of the hang up calls, they just hung up.

You are correct that if you use Birch, or any CLEC, you are no longer AT&T's customer. At that point, Birch is AT&T's customer. The down side is as you stated, you cannot call AT&T directly to resolve your issue. The up side, for most people, is that CLECs have people that understand how the technology works. They have access to test the circuits and determine what the problem is rather than blindly trust AT&T.

The offices are linked in that the offices of the company that they hire to do the telemarketing are linked, but they are not linked to Birch's system. Birch doesn't have 500 employees. How can they have 500 offices?

Birch is probably unaware that this is happening.


As for everyone that says "I'm on the do not call list". I too am on that list, but unfortunately the list does not apply to phone companies. This is something that should be voiced to the state legislature.

I agree that predictive dialing should be illegal. It is not only a pain in the a** for us, it takes jobs that are needed in this country.
