TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - IL
Got unwanted call from 847-383-4985?
Voice mail message said calling about my benefits request. I made no such request.
Said it was retiree service center, but they told me to call them back.Pretty sure it's a scammer. Blocked his number/
No message left but there is no reason anything named HR Service Cntr should be calling me.
Waiting for call from my benefits center. This number called. When I answered they got my info and then hung up. Scam number.
Got a call saying they were Apple support and to not use my iCloud because it was breached and to "press 1" for support....automated message.
I GOT A CALL YESTERDAY THEY LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE. I LIVE N BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA!
This appears to be a telemarketing company that does work for various established companies that outsource the work for specific call programs. The caller was a human, and left a message with my name, company name, etc. So they must have been given the info to do the work, specifically seeing if I needed more info and that I could participate in my company sponsored HSA.
Received a call today from 847-383-4985. I don't know who had this number assigned to them previously but it was FedEx, calling to discuss retirement benefits and they left the number 1-855-604-6221, which is a valid number (I know because I used to work for FedEx)
**P.S. - the call was made 1/19/2017
This number called my elderly mother and pressed her to give them her deceased husband's social security number, as well as her bank account number and routing number. Thank GOD my mother did not give her the info... when my mother hesitated and balked at giving her the info, the woman got snippy and rude and said she would "research" some more and call back. Sounds like a scam to me.
