866-000-0000

Lady said she was Nationwide check clearing and my checking account number was on the internet and they would remove..she verified my name told me to get my checkbook and paper and pencil..I did that and then we got disconnected....I wasn't going to give her any info, but wonder if this is some scam to get more info on me...Caller ID showed me the above phone#..866-000-0000.  I called my bank and they never heard of this...also they called my cell phone...thank you, Rosemary Powell

Caller said my checking account numbers had been compromised, and she needed verification from me to take my account numbers off the internet, she said get your checkbook and pencil and paper, then she ask me to read off my account number from my check, I said you are asking me to give you my bank account numbers, she said yes, they are not private information, or she wouldn't ask, I told her to send me something in the mail, she hung up, these people should be stopped IMMEDIATELY!!

On July 4th, 2007 this phone number called me and asked for me to get pencil and paper ready that she needed me to give her my checking acct number for verification!  I asked her to send me something via the mail and then she asked for my social security number and I just hung up on her.  Then blocked under the do not call list.. Scams should be stopped by the phone company for all the money we pay them...

In July, I got the 1-866-000-000 phone calls in July, 2007.  I answered the "Out of Area" call out of curiosity. With calls coming daily, I began  feeling harassed and began documenting the calls.  Only in my case, when I answered the caller hung up.  Then, on a call from that number one evening, a male voice asked for my husband by his first name.  I called my husband to the phone and in the process where the caller could hear, I said "It is that call from that 000 number I told you about.  When my husband picked up the receiver, the caller hung up.  Since then, I have had no more calls.  I did call AT&T and they had never heard of such a number and said I could report it to the police.  I did not do that as I figured nothing would be done.  Since I had not had that call again, I nonetheless said to myself, "Hey, why not google that number," really not expecting anything.  WOW! So glad to know what this is about.  I never give out info of any kind over the phone.  I won't even buy products on the Internet, much less give any info.  SURE PLEASED WITH GOOGLE.  Since then, I've had AT&T's Privacy Manager installed.
I would still like to see how these "people" did this and would like to see the culprits put away. (The very first call on my Caller ID listed "1-000-000-0000; thereafter, 1-866-000-0000.  GET 'EM.

I am visiting with my mother and father who are elderly, and received a call similar to those others on this listing.  The caller had asked my mother to get her checkbook in order to verify some information.  My mother gave the call to me and the caller went very short and hung up on me when I told her that I was her son.  The call also listed as 866-000-000.  Seems that this scam has been around since at least 2005, and This is now Aug 2007!!

at 3:44 pm 3/14/08 this number called my cell phone.
I answered," Hello.."
No answer back.
So I hung up and googled it.

I received a phone call asking me to verify my checking account number with them for security protection.  When I told them I do not give out any personal info and asked the name of their company (Nationwide Verification Office?), the caller immediately hung up.  I then reported it to my banking institution.

On July  17th I received a call from a lady asking me to verify my checking account. She mentioned something about my account being compromised on my computer.  I immediately knew it had to be some kind of a scam, so I hung up the phone.
I tried to call the number back but the operator said "We are sorry, but your call cannot be completed".

Same here.
