Received a call from this number, providing a 5-digit code via an automated system.  Never announced what this code was for or why they were calling, however.

Received a long distance call from this number providing a 5digit code via an automated system.No anouncement or why they were calling.

I received a call from 714-868-0120 and it was legitimate (for me at least).  It was an automated call made to me (that was prompted by me) so that my web hosting service provider could provide me with a 5 digit security code that I would allow me to access the admin function of my website.  It was sent this way as it was a security measure that I requested.  I was given an option to receive the code via text and e-mail but I did not want it to be sent that way as hackers could gain unauthorized access to the administrative function of my website.

Got a call from this number at 4:30am. Also got two random texts at the same time. This is unsolicated nonsense and these people should be stopped.

the 5 digit message is from chase banking, you get that messege to your phone so that they can make sure its you who wants to log in to your account. if you get that phone call and you did not request it, then someone is trying to log on to your bank account,

This was a legit call that I expected from Microsoft.com to verify me so I could use my SkyDrive account for remote access to my computer's other drives.
This was not a text message because I have that function disabled on my cell.

I forgot to add that Microsoft did not care what number(s) I put in their system, no verify of that was done so I could have put anyone's phone number in the world in there.

I received 2 calls and a text from windows for no reason via this number? still confused as to why. never picked up as my phone was on silent..

Got two calls from this number and only got part of the message letting me know my "code".  When I called back this number was busy.  Bogus. Legitimate businesses have a caller ID name, leave their business name and a working phone number, Fraud departments for Banks will also state the bank name and phoned number too. --Also noted in 3 ohter post here that 3 different businesses mentioned--chase Micorsoft and an internet service provider-can't imagine all 3 companies have one number....

The phone number is from govdeal.com. To join you have to verify your account by a call back system, I imagine someone entered the number wrong and thats why you got a call from them.

Keep getting this call with 5 digit security code.  Someone needs to stop them!

It's Whitepages.com Number Verification System. Someone screwing around or just plainly messed up by entering your number.

Something to keep in mind about all these continuing bothersome calls for surveys, so called charities and so called charity pickups despite asking them to remove you from their list:

Call centers have sprung up in my town that make use of the survey and the charity loophole around the do not call list; they have been a headache for law enforcement, emergency services, neighboring businesses and residential areas.  When I ask any patrolling officer in town about these call centers, they are quick to state their frustrations about the criminal activity that some of these call centers have brought into the area. Several law enforcement agencies regularly visit some of these call centers looking for warrant arrests etc.  I have heard from sources including from frustrated employees that work for these call centers complaining about the drug activity, vandalism of cars and neighboring businesses, break-ins and theft, drinking while on the job, smoke breaks are actually marijuana breaks, drunk driving, very dangerous driving, tons of tossed out litter of empty liquor containers, trash, food etc.  I’ve even heard that the mangers are also involved in criminal activities and have even preyed on their legitimate employees who are simply trying to eek out a living on horrible wages.  Also the operators are untrained in a very high turn around, poorly managed and dysfunctional work environment.

Also realize this when you call a companies’ customer service line and get horrible service from the call center that’s been hired by the company.  One time while on a call with our bank’s customer service, the operator was so loopy that it required ending the call and calling again to try and get someone else to help, think about that when you call a companies’ customer service and the conversation gets odd, off the wall and obtuse – you may be talking to an operator that’s drunk or on something.  After 6 months of getting a different and wrong answer to our ongoing problem each time we called our bank’s call center, we gave up and closed the account.

With so little police left in our town due to cutbacks, they can’t always respond to vandalism and break-ins when it’s witnessed as they have their plate full responding to the major emergencies, this allows the criminal activity free reign, the neighborhood becomes the hood.  Some insurance companies require proof of private security patrols before they will honor a claim due to vandalism or theft leaving the neighboring businesses off guard and uncovered.  These businesses also have the added cost to hire private security, install security systems/monitoring, upgrade lighting etc.  Then there are the dangers and headaches to the nearby businesses employees such as their cars being vandalized or broken into.  Some businesses simply give in, pickup and move out of town.

One of my neighbors owns a call center and he requires that his operators are bonded, but I guess there’s no laws requiring this – there should be.  Right now in my town it seems like anybody can start up a call center and hire questionable labor for cheap without much regulation.

I my efforts the past several years to try and get something done, I am most struck by the fact that there’s no real help, everyone is more worried about being sued than dealing with the obvious problem - you are on your own....

This is legit for me as well. It was about my Hotmail account (Microsoft) that someone was trying to hack and locked it up. The only catch was their computer called all three numbers I had listed with them so when I was checking the call log for this very-very rarely used number I found it and looked here for it.

The call i received from this number was legitimate. I opted to receive a code by phone to verify my identity for a Western Union transaction (WU Pay)

I too got this call, and like MRH (4th entry down, above) this was a verification process for web hosting, to set it up properly and securely. No Bad Deeds associated with this number, that I'm aware of - just a verification.

I received a call for this p# because it was a confirming CODE for my hotmail account

Ola....Eu sou do BRASIL e recebi esta ligação dizendo : Obrigada por confirmar no nosso sistema de verificação. Não sei o que pode ser!
