Some Asian idiot called me claiming to be Sameer from StarTelecom. He was claiming to provide excellent long distance rates (and I mean EXCELLENT rates). But I asked him to provide me a detail letter stating the rates, company info, representative info and company contact details (like website and toll free number). I received the email but firstly the email was marked SPAM by gmail and then the email address that was in the FORM field of the email was some custom YAHOO email address. When the person called back (but this time it was from UNKNOWN number), I told him that I wanted their website address of the company and he said he'll get back to me. He wanted my credit card info to sign me up for the good rates but I insisted not to give the number unless and until I receive proper emails from them with their website info. BE CAREFUL... DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS over the phone unless it's a legit company. RESEARCH A LOT on the internet before making a decision to sign up. Good luck and I hope these idiots get caught before this becomes an industry wide practice!

I got a call from this number numerous times over the last few days.  I have yet to answer it, but if they do call back...I will, simply to see what story they tell me.  This is rediculous..I mean, all of the crap they have these days that are supposed to prevent this stuff....and STILL people find a way around it.

Person just called and it's annoying as f! (from BC, Canada)

I just got a call from this number at my office. A lady in a soft voice who did not identify herself or her company said "Hello you called last year and asked us to call you back about your ink and toner"...I said "what?" and she hung up.
