Was looking for foreclosed properties for Washington Mutual, went to the following site:

Bank REO Real Estate
Daily News on Banking, Real Estate and Global Economics

The first bank they have listed is Washington Mutual   REO PHONE NUMBER 1-866-396-6284 (Automated)

Dialed that number and a recording comes on stating that number is not in service to call: 900-446-2900.
A machine answers.  

Bank REO Real Estate should be responsible for information they provide on their site.

BE CAREFUL!  

Called RCN, to see if they knew anything, spoke to dumb (the first operator) and dumber (the supervisor)
they don't know anything.  I have been waiting for RCN customer service for 5 minutes - maybe I'm the idiot.

I misdialed an 800 number by 1 number. Got a recorded msg saying press 1 etc to get a gift card for walmart. I hung up and did my calling. Out of curiosity I called the same wrong number back and it gave me the please call 900-446-2900. I refuse to and hung up. I called that 800 number back and it went to the same you've won this except this time it was a cruise where I only pay the port fees. 800-906-9881 is the number I dialed wrong. Stupid scam numbers.

Neither my husband nor I called this number but we got the charge on our Verizon bill.  They are removing this charge.  If we get a call frlom this number we'll know to just hang up.  However, I called a number given to me by a man at Verizon for MCI about this bill and was talking to a man in the Phillipines!!!  He gave me HVACWARDMTH HEALTH!!  Doesn't make any sense.  Verizon said they thought it was Champion Communicationss!!

Received my AT&T phone bill and there was a charge added on by "MCI" for DIR ASSIST 900-446-2900. I contacted AT&T the first time and the person that I talked with told me that I would have to call MCI's number (1-800-288-2020) I called MCI and they told me that they could not remove the $2.12 charge because it was put there by another company (because of the person that I was speaking to had I an accent) I could not understand the name that he was giving me. I again called AT&T and spoke with a lady named Stephanie from Chiago she was very helpful and removed the charge and put a 900 number block on my phone line. I know that this is not alot of money but whoever is doing this is getting rich at others expense. I don't know if AT&T will "eat" the 2.12 but someone needs to go after the ones involed with this scam.

i was billed $ 1.99 for a call allegedly made from my phone to 900-446-2900. acc. to my bill it was a call to directory assistance. never called that number and there's nobody at my place who could have made the call. verizon told me they would issue a "one-time courtesy credit" but i would be liable for future charges.

I just tried to call "turtle shack" about a turtle that my son wants. I called 800-517-1809. There was a recording that the number has changed and the new number was 900-446-2900 and there would be $1.99 fee for this call. I didn't call it but instead looked it up online. I knew it was a scam! WHY IS THIS BEING ALLOWED?

Was referred to this number after calling a toll free 866 # for customer support on a computer issue.

I tried to call the Smucker's Company on their toll free number of 1-888-520-9555 about their natural peanut butter with honey. The 888 number is listed on the Smucker's website.  My call was intercepted by a female voice recording directing me to redial to 1-900-446-2900.  The voice said the call would be $1.99 per minute and you had to be "18 years of age or older".  Whoa!!!  Red flag this is one of those filthy adult sex sites because it's a 900 numbers and because of the age requirement. The hacking could have originated in China because of the caller's name given above by Annette as PANDA MARKETING GROUP.....HUM.M.M.M.M.M.M  - Makes you wonder.

Just got a bill from Century Link which had the 1-900 446-2900 and it was for MCI.   MCI said they could not take it off my bill.   Blocked 900 calls thru Century Link.   Bad scam!!!

my little brother has been calling weird 1800 #s and 866 #s but i dont know what they are and at first when i called the 900-446-2900 it said something about a secret shopping thing i dont know what to do about it but i need to find out to let my mom know what he has been calling. ive looked on google but it cost to find out what it is.

Received an email message that a charge had been made to my creditcard, given a 866 number to call. This number directed me to get a pencil and call 9004462900. I did not call the number but will be monitoring my bill closely for the next few months.

DO NOT DIAL THIS NUMBER AND IF IT SHOWS UP ON YOUR BILL, CALL THE PHONE COMPANY TO HAVE IT REMOVED FROM YOUR BILL AND BLOCK 900 NUMBERS. I DON'T KOW IF SOMEONE IN OUR OFFICE MADE THE CALL OR NOT BUT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MCI AND NO ONE HERE EVEN KNOWS ABOUT A 900 NUMBER! I MEAN LIKE NEVER HEARD OF A 900 NUMBER FOR DIRECTORY SERVICES. YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE FCC AND THE UTILITIES TRADE COMISSION TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. GOOD LUCK AND BEWARE!

Charged by verizon for a call to 900 446-2900 at 4am Thanksgiving night.The call was not made from my phone as they insisted and I also have a 900 block on my linethat should have prevented anyway. Odd thing is... there also was a $10.00 charge on my cell bill on the Same nite for a premium text for Game Cheats which was a text. But it never showed on my phone. I can only assume this is some kind of hack/intercept of phone numbers.

1-800-877-8308
called today twice
was told to call 1-900-446-2900
any one have this happen to you

I was calling a bank on their information line and a message came on directing me to call 900-446-2900 at a charge of 1.99 per minute, said I had to be 18 to make the call. I did not call that number. Instead I redialed the bank number and everything was alright this time. I'm just wondering if I should report this to the bank?

I got an MCI charge on my AT&T bill for a directory assistant call to 900-446-2900 for $1.99. I called AT&T. The service rep told me I need to call that number to find out about the charge. I wasn't about to call a 900 number, so I called AT&T again and got a different rep. This one said I had to call MCI. (I don't even have an MCI account) My AT&T bill list an MCI number which is the same as the AT&T number! I called AT&T again, this time the 3rd rep said she would take it off my bill, and block 900 numbers.
 The next month, I got credited, then charged again! same number, 1 minute call to MCI Direct Assist 900-446-2900.
 I called AT&T. He said I have to call MCI. I told him I don't even have MCI, and there is a 900 block on my phone. He connected me to MCI anyway. MCI said there was nothing I could do about it. He claimed my cat must have made the call, since I didn't. He said there is no such thing as a 900 Direct Assist, and his end didn't not say it was direct assist, just a 900 call. I went online, found hundreds of complaints about this number. So I called MCI again and said I wanted to file a complaint. The lady took all the info. She said the 900 calls are charged by another company through MCI. They called that number and got a "direct assist" that directed them to an alternative healing place, which directed them to some "radio personality" (huh?). She said it was not a scam... just block the 900 calls with AT&T. She suggested I switch to MCI. I told her that's a laugh!
 I'm still looking for a way to file a fraud complaint, and get on MCI to DO something!!!

I tried to call 800-531-8722 and was directed to 900-446-2900.   I was suspicious of this number and never called.  Glad I made the choice !

I called an 800 number today and got the message to call 900-446-2900.  It appears that MCI, now part of Verizon, gives you this message when a customer of theirs stops paying for (abandons) an 800 number.  The number I was calling (I have since found out) is no longer used by the company I was trying to reach, so instead of giving a "disconnected-no longer in service" message, Verizon trys to scam me into paying $1.99 for directory assiatance to find the company's new phone number.  This isn't some anonimus scam.  This is corporate greed brought to you be the people formerly known as WorldCom.  If you are a Verizon customer, use this opportunity to tell them what you think of their business practices.

Got a call on cell from 1-888-211-4727 today. I called this number from work and got message to call 1-900-466-2900. Not goung to happen!

7 Nov 11 I dialed 8007730404 which is customer service fo tricare4u. have used it before with no problem  on second ring a recording came on telling me that the number has been changed to19004462900 an i would be charged $1.99 if i called.  I switched to my cell phone and was connected to tricare4u customer service.  I haved reported this to trucare4u and to my phone carrier,BE AWARE

Please stop calling number 31836444559.  This is a number for an Elementary School.  You keep asking for Shawn Davidson #6753563. There is no one at this number.

PLEASE STOP CALLING!

I called the Verizon support center for my FiOS internet and the 800 number was intercepted by a message saying the new number was 900-446-2900. There was also a message it would cost $1.99. I guess Verizon is trying to pay off that expensive fiber optic they thought would save them. I WILL CANCEL MY VERIZON SERVICE as soon as the contract expires. What crap!

I called a number 800-921-4101 on 8/25/11 Was scammed for receiving $200 worth of free gas for a fee of $2.95.  They have been taking money out from debit number every since.  When i called this number, the new number given is 900-446-2900.  How do I get this to stop?

I received a charge for $1.99 + tax from MCI on my AT&T phone bill for a call to 900-446-2900.  I didn't make this call and asked AT&T to remove it which they did.  They said they would send the charge back to MCI and if they chose to bill separately they would have to do it directly.

Got a phone call from someone who has a Direct Express card. She stated that 1-900-466-2900 is on the back of her Direct Express card.  Technically, the only phone number that should be on the back of the Direct Express Card is 1-888-741-1115, and there should be no charge.  Apparently, the fee for calling 1-900-466-2900 is $1.99/per minute.

Here is an excellent link that simply explains "cramming"  the sleazy method of attaching unauthorized charges on your phone bill:     http://www.fcc.gov/guides/cramming-unauthoriz ... -telephone-bill

My Century Link (formerly Quest) bill dated 9/13/11 listed an MCI charge for $1.99 for a call to 900 446-2600 that I did not make.  ( I never got any kind of call asking me to call the 900 number.) I called Century Link and they said that MCI uses Century Link for MCI billing purposes.   Century Link said that they would see to it that the charge would not appear on future Century Link biils, but they had to tell MCI they would be doing that and, most likely, MCI would be sending me a letter asking me to pay the bill.  NOT!   The people at Century Link had no idea how I might contact MCI to dispute the charges.  I'm not willing to hang around for another month waiting for MCI to bill me for that $1.99.  I am not a happy camper.

1-800-866-7204 is the number that goes to the 900 number message. My mistake.

Went to call the Oregon Department of Revenue at the 1800 number listed on their site: http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/contact_us.shtml (800-886-7204)

A message comes on saying to "grab a pen to write down our new number," or something similar to. They list this 900-446-2900 number and say that it's $1.99 per call to use their directory listing. I used Google and found this site. Maybe Oregon DOR was hacked or let their phone number lease expire? Don't know and can't get through to them on any other phone number.

**BEWARE**

Sept 8th 2011       I live in Kansas City Missouri. I got a call from a 1-855-800-3144. The man said he was with Central Rewards and wanted to give me a $500 dollar grocery card for a $4.95 fee. I kept questioning him and he gave me a web site address of www.ultimatesavings.com. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!! I did not give him my credit card number. I  have also had a woman call me with this same scam!!!
