I receive and call from this number 425-821-3467 asking me to call this number back (888) 440-6220 about a spectrum balance which I don’t have a spectrum account. “ “Hi there this is to inform you that spectrum has applied a 50% discount on your monthly bill to keep this offer active please call back at 888-440-6220 from 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific standard time thank you and have a great day…”

When I called to see why I have been receiving messages I was told just to give him $600. I then proceed to tell him why are you calling with a message saying spectrum but now asking for money for what? I ask to remove my number and that I will be reporting this to the better business bureau. He was persistent as if he didn’t care.

Asked me if my Spectrum acct was attached to my phone number which they recited and had me answer ‘YES’ then said they would transfer me and promptly they hung up. They obviously just wanted my yes response.

Scammer asked if I was doing a survey and asked if I was happy with my Spectrum service. I responded “yes” and they hung up. Caller was a male with an India accent. Call back line was out of service.

Was called with a promise of 50% off my bill and to just call 877)211-0054. When i called they had the spectrum voice machine and asked for my personal info. I just kept pressing “0” to avoid the voice operated machine. When i got to the rep he asked me for my name and how much my bill was. Then hung up. I contacted spectrum they do not have this number at all in their system.

Scammer offered a 50% reduction in my internet/tv bill for two years. I had to pay the first six months in advance in order to be qualified. $690. He said he would cancel my current monthly bill and apply my $690 for the next six months. Also, I could pay by either a Target credit card or Target gift cards because Target was sponsoring this promotion. And if I paid in the next three hours he would send me a $100 Visa gift card. I called Spectrum to report this and they verified it was fraud and that someone actually paid my $228.26 bill with another checking account number but my Spectrum account number. I called my bank to verify my checking account wasn’t compromised, and it wasn’t. I also reported to the sheriff’s office.

I received a text message that appeared to be from Spectrum TV in North Carolina stating I could get 50% off my bill for the next three years if I purchased 2 gift cards @ $200. each and give them the information within 24 hours. They had the Spectrum hold music and advertising about the phone offer of 2 lines for the price of one, for 12 months. I was told to give them the card information to get the promotion. The cards were spent somewhere in San Jose Ca. They are operating under the Spectrum TV ads and that's how they got me, I have internet service., they knew how much my bill was also. They are of East Indian descent based on their accent and used the following telephone numbers; 1-888-588-0171 to set up the process, then I received a voicemail and text message from 1-650-5600 asking me to call 1-833-609-6305 about a transaction error to resolve the problem. Very rude people, I recorded the call. They signed SPECTRUM. I contacted spectrum who had no knowledge of a promotion. I should have called them first. I got the name Jay, Troy, and Johnny all of which are probable fake. They scammed me for $400.

I received a phone call today from 803.790.1972 and the lady said she was with Spectrum and asked if my Spectrum bill was too high, if so, she could help in lowering it. After confirming who I was she put me through to a gentleman who said he could offer me with the same TV stations and High-Speed Internet that I currently have and save me $90 per month. In addition, he promised to add for free Showtime and HBO for three (3) months. In the course of this conversation, he mentioned AT&T so I said, "Wait a minute...if I have trouble with my Internet or TV, do I need to call Spectrum or AT&T?" He said AT&T. I said, "Wait a minute, I don't want to change from Spectrum, besides, the lady told me she was calling from Spectrum. I'm done. I don't wish this conversation to go on. He was silent then started telling me how much he could save me each month, and I hung up. This is a SCAM and they need to be stopped. For what it's worth, both persons had a foreign accent. I hope you will investigate this and take these folks down.

The scammer offered cheaper monthly fees for Spectrum, guaranteed for two years. In the process, I gave him my social security number and my Visa account number. I have already called VISA to cancel my current account. They are sending me a new card with a new number. What do I have to do, who do I have to contact, to prevent the scammer from opening other accounts in my name with my social security number?

I requested internet and cable services from the business mentioned above. The next day (and for 3 days in a row) I began receiving phone calls from an (855) number. I searched for the number in Google and it has been reported as Scam; I contacted the caller hiding my phone number and a male answered the phone stating: This is M*** from ???, how can I help you? I hung up and contacted the services provider to confirm if this number belongs to their business. I was told that they DO NOT recognize the number. I asked the services provider to run an investigation to verify if this number belongs to them since this number has been previously (2017) reported as Scam or otherwise take action.
