248-524-3800 is the relay number for subscribers of AT&T Privacy Manager® in the Detroit (MI) metropolitan area, possibly as widespread as S.E. Michigan.  The caller could be ANYONE who dials a *67 prefix or has equipment on their telephone line that dials the prefix for them, available at Radio Shack or built-in by hospitals, etc., where their telephone number is routinely blocked.  Therefore, calls from 248-524-3800 do NOT necessarily mean that you are on a list.  Rather than the caller hanging up after a brief blurb, AT&T cuts the caller off after recording for a few seconds, during which the caller is supposed to give their name/company, in order to announce the call to you, as part of the Privacy Manager® voice prompts (nobody is hanging up on you after a brief statement).  Press 1 to accept the call, 2 to reject the call or 3 to not accept this type of call (plays telephone solicitation rejection message to the caller).  You cannot call the caller back; it is no use calling back the Caller ID number 248-524-3800, the relay number, as it is outgoing only.  If you do not want to pick up the phone anymore when this number displays, then unsubscribe from Privacy Manager®.

called in the middle of the night said they were drinking, this person knew very private information about our family in details this person called about five times

got a call about 10:25am on oct 14 but no words were sad

Someone on another post said it is ABC Warehouse collection agency.

I have received several calls from this number and they let it ring once and hang up.  When I called the number back, it says that this number is not able to take incoming calls.

I received two calls from this number in the middle of the night.  The call came through my privacy manager and they made racial slurs both times.  The first call was approximately 1:30 a.m. and the second was at 2:38 a.m.  Very upsetting and annoying.

received a call from 2485243800 around 3 am. when i answered, there was no reply. very disconcerting. the date 05-23-2011.

Thank-you for my morning Ha-Ha!

Do not know these people, do not want to know them. Do not call me again.

248-524-3800 it's sad you have nothing better to do; others do, so don't bother calling anymore.

Incidentally, it's suppose to be a land line in Troy.  I would like to think people in Troy have more integretity.

I THINK THE GUY NAMED INCOGNITO SUMMED IT ALL UP BEST....IT IS AN AT&T PRIVACY MANAGER CALLING CENTER AND COULD BE ANY ONE FROM A KID TO A BILL COLLECTOR OR WHATEVER..........

THIS IS TO ALL YOU SINGLE GALS WHO ARE YOUNG OR OLD.....DO NOT BE AFRAID !!!!!!!!!!

IT IS A NUSANCE BUT THAT IS ALL IT IS !!!!!!!!!

TODAY WE LIVE IN A SICK WORLD.....MY MOM USED TO SAY IT IS NOT THE WORLD BUT THE PEOPLE IN IT..........WHO ARE SICK......IT IS SAD FOR SURE THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE BALLS TO CALL YOU WITHOUT HIDING WHO THEY ARE..........BUT DO NOT LET A THING LIKE A TELEPHONE CALL RUIN YOUR LIFE..........

IF THE CALLS COME DURING THE TIME YOU USUALLY SLEEP....TAKE THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK..........AT LEAST YOU WILL GET YOUR SLEEP.......

YOU DO NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO ANSWER YOUR PHONE TO ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING.........THERE IS NO DEBTORS PRISON........IF YOU ARE WANTED BY THE POLICE THEY WILL COME AND GET YOU IN PERSON, NO GAMES..UNLESS YOU ARE SKIPPING OUT OF COURT FOR SOME REASON..THEN THEY MIGHT SEND YOU FREE TICKETS TO A GREAT EVENT AND THEN ARREST YOU WHEN YOU COME TO GET THEM OR THE EVENT STAGING AREA.

I TEND TO AGREE THAT SOME PLACE OR ONE IS USING THE AT&T CENTRAL TROY OFFICE NUMBER FOR PRIVACY MANAGER OUTGOING CALLS....

I TOO GET THESE F'ING CALLS EVERYDAY AT 10 AM OR SO AND USUALLY A OTHER A FEW MINUTES LATER...HOWEVER NO ONE LEAVES ME A MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE.....I AS OF YET HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE PHONE IN TIME TO PERSONALLY ANSWER IT...

ONE DAY I WILL........BUT LET ME REPEAT MYSELF ONCE MORE...YOU SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID OF A PHONE CALL...AFTER ALL THAT IS ALL IT IS..........IT IS NOT A 357 MAGNUM STARING YOU IN THE FACE !!!!!!!!!!

I recieved this call on my phone via my caller ID,I don't no anyone with the following number.

I thought companies were not allowed to call between 9:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. If there is not a law against it there should be.
