Did you get a call from 123-456-7890? Read the posts below to find out details about this number. Also report unwanted calls to help identify who is using this phone number.
Liz16 Apr 2007- I have a way I block such calls, you must have caller ID to know the number, I log it into my phone's phone book as 'DNA (no not answer) and the company name or what kind of call it is like 'DNA Survey Co' and the number and then go down to what kind of ring I want this one to have, and select NO RING! This takes care of any future calls, it appears to be ringing in to them but doesn't to me. My phone lights up when a call comes in and when it's not ringing I ignore it. I do the same on my cell as I often have my home phone forwarded to my cell, and why should I pay for their call? Good Luck!

wonder if it has anything to do with it ...have no idea what these companies do...I plan on searching for a site online where I can message them and tell them stop calling me.....- Hi i'm a Fraud investigator
i'm a Fraud Investigator for a company that i will keep unknown,ive been getting alot of complaint against that phone number, People advise me that when they answer no one is on the line, This is called Fishing wich that Phone number can take over youre Phone number. I do not know if its the case but please be careful when answering these calls as ive seen phone bills by clients that escaladed up to 4000$ wich came up to be 123 area codes if you try to dispute these charge with you phone company they cant take that as fraud because you actually answered the phone
hope this help, and again please be very careful when answerig phone calls like that
fyi: if you get a calls from a suspicious area call please investigate on that area code before doing anything it might come to be a fishing area code wich can save you money and identity theft as well.- Yeah right - firstly, learn to spell. Secondly, that is pure BS, they can't "take over" your phone number. And it is spelled "phishing". In this case, it's a moronic credit company or credit card scammer and they are "phishing" for your credit info. You'd think a Fraud Investigator would know that.
- i have to agree...i have had many calls from this number and when i answered a recorded message told me to stay on the line for a lower intrest rate for my credit card. at first they had me convinced until the questions started...and then i thought to myself if this was my credit company they would already know all my information. phising for sure!!!!
- It actually is possible; that's called cramming. Search for "phone bill cramming" at Google if you don't believe it. Some criminals do call random numbers to verify that they are in service to perform bill cramming, but it's much more common for these troublemakers to get numbers from phone directories because A: it's cheaper, B: it takes less time and effort, and C: it doesn't leave a paper trail as calling random numbers would. But I must say that it looks like the "fraud investigator" needs to work on his/her English before (s)he posts on a blog and actually expect to be taken seriously.
- Hey unknown': The way you posted here. It seems you are one of these scammers. Because its against the law, weather incoming or outgoing call to not disclose at the beginning of the call, that there will be a charge and how much. So therefore I strongly your so called credentials that you are a fraud investigator.
- Hey Shar,
If you're Canadian you can register your phone number at the Nationa Do Not Call List either by calling in form your phone or going to the website
www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca
I don't know if they have this in the States???- We do have something similar, it's called the "National Do Not Call Registry." Their website is https://www.donotcall.gov.
- i am here at work at nearly 7pm and the office phone rings. there is a foreign female saying that i got a loan from cashnetusa. and have to be in court tomorrow. that i owe 1095$.. i dont have a loan and never have with these people. the number on caller id here at work comes up 1-123-456-7890.. but the foreign male gave the number as 714-409-0388

I got the same call today, Primus with a long distance offer. asked to be taken off the calling list, so we'll see if that helps!
That's hilarious, as I just got a call from that number, but no one was on the other end ... mechanical voice says 'forwarding', then nothing. Funny thing is I just switched to PRIMUS a couple of weeks ago, and they offer Free Telemarketing Guard with basic HomePhone. So if it was Primus calling me that's pretty funny, as I've added that number to the list.
Btw, I was getting about 4 - 6 nuisance calls a day (888, 800, etc), and now maybe one a week at the most. Works like a charm.
- +++++HOW TO STOP ANNOYANCE CALLS+++
FOR FREE CALL TRACE
If you are a customer of MTS (Manitoba Telecom Services)they offer a free service they do not advertise very well. This is an alternative to paying for call blocking feature. I spoke to a MTS CUSTOMER SERVICE REP, and they told me to enter *57 or dial 1157 when you recive annoyance calls. An announcement will yhen indicate that you have activate Call Trace. Then you will Press 1 to proceed. You then can notify police immediately if the call is threatening. For annoyance calls, record a record of at least ten calls before contacting police. The system will monitor how many times the number calls if you enter 857 each time, once the call log reaches around 10 calls of that number police will intervene. A police report is then required. A police report is siple to fill out, often it can be completed over the phone in minutes.
The best thing we can do now to stop these calls untill the government is pressured to approve the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST.
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY OUR TELEPHONE COMPANY TO BLOCK HARASSING ANNOYANCE CALLS??- *57 works in ontario as well
ive been getting same number several times a week.
*57 works the call trace got the police involved and the calls stopped.
yes the 1234567890 is a telemarketing service and not just primus
its a telemarketing service for telemarketers so beware
one survey to another gets info and gives it to another
this also applies to some online store credit card info scams
- I was searching the internet for a bird and this add for African Grey was listed at iupost with the phone number you are having a problem with..Says they are from IL. USA please some how post this on the 800 message board. I tried but don't know how to do it.
http://www.iupost.com/viewad.php?ID=159 - Started to receive these calls too from that "123-456-7890". Looked extremely odd on my call id. SO...I have yet to pick up. With looking up this number on this website, I WON'T be picking up to answer.
Had to warn my kids NOT to pick up the phone and let the answer machine get it. This is the second crank # that has plagued us in the past 2 months. Don't these people have anything else to do? - Get a life, everyone else has one! - That number registers, at a minimum, 3 times a day on my caller ID. I now consider it a form of harassment. I tried answering it 2 times ... no one seems to pick up so I'm assuming it's a computer generated call. My fear is it's one of those scams where they can change your Long Distance provider just because you answered it, or someother type of scam. Someone has to know where/who it originates from and what the scam is behind it.
Who do we need to contact to report this to and complain about it ... if it's telemarketers then they should be losing their telemarketing license for making harrassing and annoying calls. As far as I'm concerned it's an invasion of my privacy. The CRTC ... who do we call/contact to get this stopped?- Hello Hivin,
I have contacted the CRTC and what they had advised me that you have to call your carrier and they would call that #. As per the CRTC & the CRTC regulations your carrier has to get involved and you do not have to purchace a special service to have this stopped.
I had to call Rogers Executive Ofice and they got it removed, but I am know back with a vengance and I guess I will have to contact Rogers again to have them stopped.
Hope this helps
- I had a call from 123-456-7890 with a message saying they were going to lower my credit card costs. (I don't have any)
I pressed "1" just to see who they were.
A guy with a heavy Indian/Packistan accent asked if I pressed "1" to lower my interest.
I said "who the hell are you people" to which he replied "go F yourself A-hole"
I hope he calls back- Don't EVER press "1" or any number when a message or number offers you anything to do with your credit card. Pressing a number can sometimes allow them to access your phone account and charge things to it, or they can talk you into giving them your credit card information and then using it.
I went to my bank about this and they said it is a scam that the police are working on. No reputable bank or credit card company would ever offer anything over the phone and absolutely NEVER with an automated system. Please report these calls to your bank if the message uses your banks name, or your credit card company if they use your credit card company name.
- A small break-through in the 123-456-7890 telemarketting issue. It is a company telemarketting from the far east for companies here in North America. If your call starts off with a message about getting lower interest rates on your credit cards, the company you want to complain to is
MUTUAL CONSOLIDATED SAVINGS.
Their website is http://www.mcsprograms.com/
You can email their consumer privacy person (who remarkably has the same email address as the person you email for a quote on lower interest rates ... hmmmm...) and let them know how happy you are with their choice in telemarketting firms.
