Called asking to speak with the mother or father of (my son's name). I tried calling back. I, too, got the squealing fax. Glad everyone posted this as it gave me a clue as to how they/scammers would call about my child, a minor.

Same as all other posts - I filed an online complaint with the FCC. May not do any good, but at least I did something.

So, pretty much the same story...they called, used my first name, asked for my mom and dad, when i said they weren't home, and asked if i could take a message, they hung up on me. Called back, got a fax tone. Jerks.

There have been frequent calls from this number. I don't answer as I see only the phone number on caller ID. There is no message.

this # called us like 3 or 4 times not saying anything until today asking (my name) mom and dad, and i picked up and i knew it was fake cuz first of all they didn't use my real name and secondly said mom and dad which was informal to say for a company. but they said is was regarding my ACT score (which i havent even taken...only a sophomore)and said other stuff... and after i handed it over cuz i don't like to talk on the phone about that stuff. i thought i was in trouble or something and i didn't know this had happened to everybody, i thought it was something i probably got scammed by using the internet stuff but how would they get my info? but weird glad i googled it and read all of your comments about it. thanks. sigh of relief. but so weird most of what you guys said i thought about the same exact things like queer. but i was hella nervous. but they said they'll call back haha we'll see and i just feel like messing with them a little.

Who are these idiots? Multiple calls on my caller ID all last week, no messages left. Today when I answered, a man asked to speak to "Alan's mom or dad." When I asked him "Who?", the call was disconnected. Tried to call him back... got a squealing like I'd dialed a fax number. Really beginning to annoy me.
| Stop your Calls 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
They called asking for my daughter as well. I answered the phone Pizza Hut, my I take your order. She asked for my daughter again, I asked her what she would like to order. I have found answering your phone Pizza Hut, may I take your order or any other type of establishment will stop your calls. Try it is has worked for me! They have never called again! So nice to have peace and quiet ! I used this method for any 800, 866 or 888 number that calls me !

Caller was asking about my son's interest in taking the PSAT and when I asked how he got his information he hung up.
| c 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
just a hang up, but I have been called by someone selling SAT prep stuff too. They also claimed that my daughter requested it. When I pressed for the 'when did she request it?' they had nothing...probaly get the enrollment roster from the school district. But whenever possible, be sure to keep them on the line as long as possible without buying anything...drives upn their cost of sale and maybe puts them out of biz.

I have had several calls from this number - but didn't recognize the #. After searching Google and this posting - I can say it is probably the same company as the others as I have a high school Sr. One of the major networks on television had a piece on this company (or one just like it)featured last week. They are in NO Way affliated with any legit SAT/Prep Service - according to the program - the software material was over 5 years old and the legitimate software offered thru SAT/Prep Services is cost MUCH less than these scam artist charging for this outdated service that is NOT approved by any legit source. Parents beware!

this # called us 3 times, the first time we ignored it, thinking if it was important they could leave a message, the second time, there was no one on the other line, the third time my dad answered the phone, and they asked if he was the parent (and used my name) and my dad goes yes, and said is was regarding my ACT score (which i havent even taken...only a sophomore)and said other stuff...my dad just ignored everything he said, and said to stop calling us...we'll see if they do

This is so creepy. The same thing happened to me - a man called and asked for my daughter's (knew her name) mom and dad...then hung up. I called the Univ. Prep Company and they called me back from a name of "David Graves" on my caller id. (how wierd if that is a company), the number they called me back from was (619) 260-1206 (that is not even an 800 number!!!) This has to be a scam. The woman told me she would put me on their do not call list. About a minute later I received a call that rang twice and then hung up before I could even answer.
| Mark Collins 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
hung up on me multiple times
| jordan 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
They called my house and asked to speak with my parents. They knew my name some how. I told them they were busy and they said they would call back later. I don't get how they got my name. I called the number back and it was a fax connection dial tone. It is creepy.
| Lisa 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
Calls every 15 minutes.
| Kevin 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
Today is the first time this number has called my house. I am also on the Do Not Call registry. A woman called who knew my son's first name and that he was in high school. When told that I was his father, she began a sales pitch regarding a computer program promising a 200 point increase on his SAT score. I said he wasn't home, so I couldn't even verify that he had even requested this. She said that it might have been a long time ago and he probably forgot about it anyway, but if I cared about his educational future, he would definitely need this. She claimed that I would have to pay her the $189.00 ($193 with shipping) over the phone today only because she wouldn't have time to call later, and if I ordered it online it would cost over $300. She also mentioned a one month FREE membership to some scholarship search service. "Then there's a monthly charge?" I asked. Yeah, $54 or something like that, billed to the same credit card used to order the software, but of course I'd be free to cancel anytime I wished. Uh-huh. She refused to give me a website address for her company (if I decided I wanted to pay $300 for it later on) or a callback number. I kept her talking in circles for a long time because I thought it was funny, but when I asked her for the name of her company again and the name of the program she was trying to sell me, so I could Google it and see what other people thought of it, she got defensive and hung up.

| mtk 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
they call 3-4 times a day. leave messages, hang up when I answer. I finally got through. they asked my son was planning on taking tests and when I told them how frustrated with them, they told me to get a life and hung up.
| e.drews 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |

| bigsis 2011-06-06 21:05:18 Unknown |
