Got a FAX to our FAX machine saying our service was going to be disconnected unless I call 1-877-471-1453 and provide information. I did not call. I called MY phone company (which is not MCI or Telecom like the FAX said) and they verified this was a scam and to NOT call their phone #.

Crazy that this post (above mine) is from 2008 and now 5 years later this phone # is still being used to scam people?!?

I received phone call from "caller ID: 904" asking if I am the owner of the home phone number account.  The lady rep on the phone did not ask for my name specifically and did not identify herself up front. Instead she told me that I need to provide them with my address for them to send a bill for long distance calls using 10-10-321 to two different countries.  At the time, I wasn't sure if my spouse had possibly made calls to those countries and so I told the lady that I would need to check with my spouse if calls were made to those countries.  She then responded that I would need to call back and provide my address for billing by 5:00 PM that day otherwise my account would be disconnected.  She provided me with the number 1-877-471-1453.  I asked her what company she is from and she hesitated briefly and said Telecom USA.

I tried looking up Telecom USA phone number but could not verify any links between 1-877-471-1453 and Telecom USA.

I called 1-877-471-1453 and got a male recorded message saying to please stay on the line repeatedly and then finally the the recording said to leave my name and address info, but instead I hung up because I was very suspicious.  Never once did the recording state that I had called "Telecom USA".

Caller ID: OUT OF AREA - 904
Caller: Claims to be Telecom USA

I keep getting calls from this pervert freak who talks utter nonsense, Pretty sure he is arab, cant tell from his accent. This person has absolutely no respect for women & obviously based on the s*** he speaks one can say he is a frustrated psychotic person who has lost all hope in life. He keeps calling anywhere from 10 to now 50 times in a day from this number +966548941217. This number is a Saudi Arabian number, in the recent past i have heard a lot a people, specially women getting calls from the men from this country & they speak absolute "S***". I mean whats happening in that country are all the men really so frustrated & have nothing worth while to do with their free time, are all the women in the country no really worth looking at that they actually call internationally just to speak some nonsense to some sick perverted satisfaction. I really hope there is some solution as i dont live in that Country & its not financially feasible from me to call, is there any place i can report this & expect some kind of a solution without giving out my personal details for more pervert freaks to harass me.
Kindly HELP.

I got a call today from someone representing my LD carrier.  She asked if I was the owner of this phone and I said yes.  She asked for my billing address and said it was to invoice me for calls I had made out of state.  TO make things worse; I had made calls to the area she was referring to.  I told her I had already received a bill and my LD carrier had all my information.  She gave me this number and said I could call back to verify and once I got the invoice I could dispute it with my carrier.  I immediate called my LD carrier and they said they would never ask me for that information and it was a scam to get my personal information.  Do not fall for this.  Ask them all sorts of questions like *What is the name of your company since you are only representing another* and ask them why their number is on the internet as a frauds?

I received a call from this company asking the same questions
We have a bill for your long distance service and need to obtain your address.  I asked for the lady's name and phone number she gave me 800-226-0014..  I refused to give her any information,  she was very rude and hateful    I agree that this is some sort of SCAM!

I had similar calls like this a few years ago. MCI does not have 3rd party billing and would never ask for your billing info, they know where to find you!  The people that contacted me had access to a calling card that my parents had purchased for me. I called MCI and they in turn called the number with me still on the line.  The lady promptly hung up when MCI identified themselves. I did contact the FCC but obviously it wasnt enough to stop them! It is a scam, please do not give info to them.  The people writing on this thread as MCI stating it is valid are probably the scammers themselves.

THIS COMPANY TXN IS A THIRD-PARTY BILLING CENTER FOR MCI BASED OUT OF FLORIDA. THE COMPANY IS LEGIT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER IS 800-226-0014.

COMPANY IS VALID. IT'S A THIRD-PARTY BILLING CENTER FOR SEVERAL PHONE CARRIERS AND THEY MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS TO CUSTOMERS THAT ARE NOT IN THEIR DATABASE, TO GET THEIR NAME AND BILLING ADDRESS TO SEND THEM THE BILL.

Received call on my business line with the claim " this number nmade a collect call to Saudi Arabia and that they need my billing information".

I did make a direct call on my personal cell for business to Saudi Arabia, but there is no reference of my business number on my personal billing and I was billed on my personal bill for this call.

Called at 8:30AM EST and got recording that no representatives were available and to leave my full name, billing address and telephone number for them to call back. no mention of company or business on recording

This is definitely direct phishing - but would love to know if it was a coincidence on the Suadi Arabia or somehow they got info from ... (most likely coincidence

Claimed that they were calling from MCI and that they needed my mailing address to send me a bill for recent collect calls made to my phone.  This is most likely true as my wife recently called me collect while on a business trip from out-of-state.

When I called back (at 2:58 PM MST) I got a recorded message and they claimed to be closed.  Never once did any of the recordings state that I had called "MCI" so I am a little suspicious.
