I'm a person who watches the bottom line closely. So when a female voice called and said she was with SBC and I owed them 900.00 and how did I want to pay this, I at first was in dismay. She then asked for a card number and my SSN to verify that she had the right person. During this time my mind had already processed all my past accounts and missing was one with SBC. I said this and she again asked for my information. I at this point I was mad, and said there was no way she was getting any information over the phone as she was just a voice that called and I would hang up and recall SBC.
I so doing this, I had to use 1411 to get SBC's number, they gave me Taco Bell. Finally reaching SBC, they of course said that any telecommunications company wouldn't need a SSN to reach a person. They have our address and name on their accounts. Well the lady hasn't called back. If she or any other scam reaches me again, *69 them and turn this number over to your local law enforcement.
