Atlanta-area VZW customers get a call from 404-909-8543?

I live in the Atlanta area, and got a call today from 404-909-8543. It was a recording that asked for me by name, but I didn't recognize the number so I pressed 2 to say I wasn't available. The recording gave the number 800-754-0961 for me to call back. I didn't like the odds of that either, and doing some Googling I found that both of these numbers are probably associated with scammers pretending to be Verizon financial services demanding payment of an overdue bill.
So, has anyone else gotten these calls, or does anyone have any more information on them?

Oops. Despite the scammy-looking call procedure, I checked and in fact I had neglected to pay last month's bill, which got lost in the mail or the shuffle or somewhere. I paid it online, and don't expect further calls. My bad.

  • Do I need an online number to get a call from some...

    Hello,
    Do I need an online number to get a call from someone in Europe who is calling from their computer?

    Hey the question is what you want to do Sir.
    Skype bare and free provides you means to talk voice and video from the application with all your friends who have Skype too on their side. Though you need to connect with them first. Add them manually or through some importing to your contact. There you have the basic capability.
    Then you can add with credit or subscription (I personally think that the subscriptions now with 50% off yearly are absolutely great) a few services. 
    1. Outgoing voice calls to real numbers. They have plans for landlines and mobile with diff prices for diff countries. Again check the promos now for good deals.
    2. Incoming voice calls from real numbers when you buy the online number. Alas its not available for all countries yet.
    3. You can set your ID so when you call / outgoing voice, people can recognize you.
    4. To go number that can let you call long distance and abroad as local call.
    And more I guess.
    I find their outgoing call quality as unparalleled to any other provider. Call quality from Canada to Israel is usually on par as land line and superior to Bell.

    If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device.  Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device. 
    There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.

    There's a fee based service called Trap Call which can give you information about the caller.

  • I get a call from someone saying they've missed a facetime call I've not made

    Can anyone suggest a solution to this? If I make a successful Facetime call to my Mum, I get a call from a nice lady (who isn't in my contacts list or phonebook, and never has been) saying she has missed a facetime call from me. I'm using iOS8.0.2 on my iPhone 5s and my Mum has an iPad mini retina also running iOS8.0.2

    Its a scam.  A well known and long running one.  Microsoft will never ask for personal details (they already have them) and
    will never cold call you.  Nor do they send out anti virus messages
    Microsoft does not do that nor do they have partners who do that

  • Help,I am trying to get function calls from a flash file within an embedded SMIL file to work with Netscape.

    Basically, the functions are on the html document in which the SMIL file is embedded and the flash file within the SMIL file calls the function from a button.
    The code on the html doc determines whether the browser is Netscape or IE and then executes the appropriate code. For ex. for Netscape the function is:
    document.radio.SetSource('video.smi')
    and for IE the function is:
    radio.SetSource('video.smi')
    All the function calls work fine in IE but in Netscape it does nothing.

  • Why would people get a call from my number if I don't call them?

    I've had several people "call me back" because my number has called them several times. I don't and they all live in Illinois and I am in Tennessee.
    Any ideas?

    It's called spoofing:
    Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display that is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.  (Wikipedia)

  • How I can I take my phone off Google talk so can stop getting this calls from different numbers that I don't know?

    Anyone know?

    I Had the same issue.  I thought it was a virus.   Turns out it's either my ebay or PayPal app.   I noticed whenever an item was sold and or paid for on ebay, the cash register sound was made.  

  • IPhone4 gets calls from contacts but when attending, the call is reversed.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS6 occasionally gets a call from my contacts and when I attend the call, I hear the phone ringing and that contact gets a call from me. This is weird because, I used two sims in the same device and the problem still exists. I also tried formatting the phone and reinstalling iOS. I asked the service provider (Vodafone IN) customer care, but they are not sure what the problem is.

    I read two functional requirements here:
    When there are no agents available in CSQ1, simultaniously queue the call into CSQ2.
    Allow internal employees to transfer calls to CSQ2 specifically.
    For the first requirement you can just nest a second Select Resource step within the Queued condiiton of the first Select Resource step.
    For the second just create a second trigger on the same application, use a Get Trigger Info step to understand which trigger was used. Use that with an If step and a Goto step to skip forward in the script to the nested Select Resource step of CSQ2 if the internal-only trigger was used.

  • Lync Client uses wrong RTP Ports for calls from/to RGS with Agent Anonymity

    We have QoS implemented and client ports for audio, video und application defined by Set-CsConferencingConfiguration. We also use firewalls in our LAN between the different VLANs for Clients, Servers and Gateways/SBC. Only RTP from the client with the defined
    ports are allowed by the firewall. Media ByPass is enabled.
    In all normal cases, the right ports will be used and marked by GPO with the right DSCP value. But if an agent get a call from a RGS which has agent anonymity enabled, the client uses a port in the range 1024-65535 for audio. Also if you make a call on behalf
    of the RGS, the client use a random port between 1024-65535. As soon, as the source of the call is in another VLAN (e.g. a call from PSTN which comes in over a SBC in e separate VLAN), the firewall between the two VLANs block the RTP traffic.
    We see the deny on the firewall log and in the SBC log we see, the reinvite for the media by pass with the IP of the agent and a not valid port. We also see, that no RTP from the client/agent will arrive the SBC and no RTP from the SBC will arrive the client/agent.
    So the call will be disconnected, as soon as an agent wants accept the call.
    Is there an additional setting to make sure, the Lync client always use the valid RTP port range?
    This behavior exist in Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients.

    Hi Holger,
    Thanks for reply!
    Sure! I set all AudioPorts on all Services, but the problem are not the ports used by the server, the problem are the ports used by the client. We set the client ports to 49152 with a count of 40. The client (2013 and also 2010) use these ports correctly in all
    cases exept for call from/on behalf of an RGS with Agent Anonymity.
    If we disable the RGS agent anonymity, restart the client of the agent, then the client uses also the correct source ports for RTP.
    I've checked this behaviour now on 3 customer installations, our own productive installation and in our lab.
    Because until now only one of our customers have firewalls between the internal VLANs, only this single customer have the issues...
    Regards,
    Stephan
