Received a call from an individual calling himself Daryl 'with AT&T' (later said he was calling 'on behalf of AT&T' so likely an outsourced telemarketer) about trying to get our business back and pushing AT&T's Uverse service.  He was very rude and hung up on me when I tried to ask for his employee identification number.  I called the number back and was answered by a gentleman who said the number was to Pride Academics, so these telemarketers are likely spoofing the Caller ID.

I called AT&T at 8889440447 and spoke to a gentleman named David (just ask the automated system for a representative), who apologized and who said they have a team who handles this type of situation and that he would put this in the system for them to try and track down the individuals calling.  Having an employee identification number (if they are employed by AT&T) or an actual company name if they're outsourced would certainly help track them down, but they won't usually provide that information.  Either way, the actual AT&T representative I spoke to sounded genuinely apologetic, so if you keep getting these calls and feel like taking the time to call them about it, they may actually be able to find these people or companies, and hopefully will stop doing business with them for their outsourced telemarketing

What a jerk.

Guy calls claiming to be from AT&T, needing to speak to the person in charge of our internet. I told him no one at this number is authorized - we use an outside service. Let me have your number - surprise surprise, no number to give me.

He was stupid enough to say he'll call back - in which I told him why would you waste your time like that? And if you were really from AT&T you would already know we are your customer.

He then said he will put in the system that we are already a customer and that hopefully the calls will stop.

He can lie to me, I can lie to him!

AT&T trying to sell me their over priced Uverse internet service. I have asked them numerous times to stop calling but they continue to bother us. Maybe it is some scam posing as AT&T fishing for information?

Got hang up, called and a male answered saying we applied for school assistance and started asking questions.  We are a business, had him remove our number

Caller said she was  representing AT&T and said that DSL as becoming obsolete and we needed to upgrade to U-Verse. I asked if she  was with AT&T and she initially said yes.  After I questioned her  further she stated she  were an authorized agent for AT&T and she was calling on their behalf.  I told her I only dealt with AT&T directly and she became frustrated and started stammering.  I hung up. Have received similar calls like this in the past.  At that time I did contact AT&T and found out it was not legit.

Stupid people never learn.  Called again yesterday (7/24/13) @ 3:21 pm.

To share with you, I feel very bad with AT&T.

AT&T unlear business, I don't like AT&T
I not trust them they always jum bing bills up.
95% scam $1- to $5 dollars, but if you calculator (x) for 1 million people or 10 million people, it make lots differen, I understand business have craftiness, some craftiness can accept, some can't accept.

Attention this point Important, monitor the bill cycle day much be 28- or 30 Day a month.

We need every things cleare and cleance.

Good luck to all

Here we go again: stupid people never learn because they are stupid.  Called again today (7/22) @ 1:32 pm and hung up after listening to the 1st few words of our welcome message.  Even if these morons were long distance agents for AT&T, don't they have common sense not to keep calling when no one answers ??????????  And what is with hanging up if somebody picks up the phone by mistake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Who is paying for all these stupid calls ????????????????????

Stupid dumb @ss telemarketers called again @ 2:24 pm today (7/19/13).  Stupidity knows no bounds proving once again stupid people never learn because they are stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What else can I say about the dumb @ss telemarketers ????????????  Call our business line, listen to our greetings and the hang up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Called on 7/8/13 @ 2:27 pm.  These stupid people are so dumb they don't realize we have caller ID and don't answer these stupid calls.

Was told it was AT&T however, shows up as unknown on my caller ID, spoke with AT&T they say if they call it will always show up as AT& T. I said this to the telemarketer,she said well this is just a call to upgrade your internet & long distance services. I hung up!

Calls our office multiple times a day, and when I answer the call gets disconnected. I called back this morning, and a male answered Pearl Academics. They are looking for people to go back to school. My advice is this is a scam school, and not accredited. When I informed him that I was not looking to go back to school because I just finished my graduated degree, he said well I will stay on the line until you get someone that does want to return to school. I told him No you won't and have a nice day. Then I terminated the call.

Called our home phone about 5:15. We did not answer and they did not leave a message. We are on state and federal do not call lists.

This caller said she (Kristi) represented AT&T  (7-2-13 at 4;17 CST). She said that she was calling on behalf of AT&T because they were upgrading our DSL services. She stated that she already had all my info on file but for security purposes she needed me to give them to her. She also wanted my SS number and I told her there was no way I would give it out over the phone. She kept insisting even after I stated to her;  if you already have it then you don't need me to tell you it, again. She became more persistent about me giving it to her for security purposes. I told her; no thank you! and hung up. I would think that if this was legit then AT&T would send me an E-mail and ask me to contact them. Beware folks, there slick.

They called, said his name is Christopher McClain and he was our new Rep  for ATT/U-Verise and he could be reached at: 952-388-2809 - nope, not a chance. Also this 855 number is no good either...

It is EXACTLY as JOSH says..... EXACTLY...... I mean we were looking anonymously also for a internet phone set up and the phone started ringing
The b*****ds are taking our IP address and from that they know who we are and once they know that they find our phone number. I know the company and they will NOT get our business. WE just signed up with another company. I know it was specific to this company as COSTCO had them as a deal and we were looking at it on the phone company website.

CALLS EVERYDAY WILL NOT LEAVE MESSAGE

We have received countless calls on our business line & when I answer, the party hangs up.  When my husband answered, someone spoke with him & stated they were representing  AT&T.  My husband requested we be taken off of their call list.  He was told that there are various numbers due to the fact that calls are made from various states.  Our land lines, fax, and cell numbers are all on the DNC list.

Abandoned Call

Keeps calling and I answer and nobody is there

We are a non-profit organization. We get calls from this number twice a day.  It hangs up immediately after we answer.

4 to 6 times a day getting calls from this number, it is so disrupting for our small shop.
The never answer, when we call back a busy signal.

Got a call from this number, rep stated was offering an upgrade on our AT&T internet speed. ... briefly spoke of bundling services.  I said I did not have authority to authorize this and was there a phone number/website that I could have to pass along to appropriate person.... replied that no they did not, as this was  "promotion" and could I get the person needed on the phone (he would wait) to get the okay.  I then hung up.

I am a telemarketer, do not take my call

The caller claims to be "calling on behalf of AT&T" to advise of the "new lower rates offered".  It is an attempt to get you to switch to the lower rates by billing through a 3rd party.  Told them we weren't interested and have now had 6 calls in 5 days!

This Number has called multiple times and immediately hangs up.

This number has called me 4 times in the last two days.  I tried answering it and no on is there.  I've tried calling it back and it either hangs up or gets a busy signal.  Very annoyed as my number is on the do not call list!

Calls doesnt answer my greeting. Call back gets a busy signal after 30 seconds.

Has called our land line, unpublished and on DNC list, every hour today. Calling number back gets a busy signal.

Should note that it happened almost immediately after we began an internet search for a new phone/internet provider while trying to be anonymous on the web (never entered any contact info on any site). If they are monitoring our IP based on internet searches at our ISP, we've reached a new low in lack of privacy.
