9004462900

I work for a large company with a toll free 800#.  Got a call from customer complaining that she called us and got redirected to a 900#, called back and properly got us.   Googled the 900 and found this, and one poster is right.  This is a company that buying up #s that are commonly mis-dialed (our last 4 digits are 5510, and the 900# referrer is 5580, easy to misdial on a phone, the 8 is right above the 0).   Scam for sure.

was on my bill 900-446-2900  we didn`t make the call but wass charged for it.

I never used this number, I was charged 1.99 per minute on my bill, that is not fair.

I  blocked this phone 900 446 2900, I don't care to pay $ 10.0 to the phone home comp, but I don't want surprises and to be agused.

Called Social Security on 1-800-722-1213 and got a recording to call 1-900-446-2900. Will be stopping at the Social security office to let them know what is going on. It is a charge per minute line that is not connected to the US government.  I wonder why AT&T can't keep control of the phone lines? Could they be getting some cash back all on their own?

I got charged $1.99 for 900-446-2900 as well. I called ATT&T and was informed the charge was from MCI. I got refund.

I called the number I had for AOL 1-888-265-8006

Some machine turned on and said their new number was 1-900-446-2900

I went on Google and found this site.

I'm always skeptical about these things and never ever fill them out and reply back to them.

Sept 8th 2011       I live in Kansas City Missouri. I got a call from a 1-855-800-3144. The man said he was with Central Rewards and wanted to give me a $500 dollar grocery card for a $4.95 fee. I kept questioning him and he gave me a web site address of www.ultimatesavings.com. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!! I did not give him my credit card number. I  have also had a woman call me with this same scam!!!

Went to call the Oregon Department of Revenue at the 1800 number listed on their site: http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/contact_us.shtml (800-886-7204)

A message comes on saying to "grab a pen to write down our new number," or something similar to. They list this 900-446-2900 number and say that it's $1.99 per call to use their directory listing. I used Google and found this site. Maybe Oregon DOR was hacked or let their phone number lease expire? Don't know and can't get through to them on any other phone number.

**BEWARE**

1-800-866-7204 is the number that goes to the 900 number message. My mistake.

My Century Link (formerly Quest) bill dated 9/13/11 listed an MCI charge for $1.99 for a call to 900 446-2600 that I did not make.  ( I never got any kind of call asking me to call the 900 number.) I called Century Link and they said that MCI uses Century Link for MCI billing purposes.   Century Link said that they would see to it that the charge would not appear on future Century Link biils, but they had to tell MCI they would be doing that and, most likely, MCI would be sending me a letter asking me to pay the bill.  NOT!   The people at Century Link had no idea how I might contact MCI to dispute the charges.  I'm not willing to hang around for another month waiting for MCI to bill me for that $1.99.  I am not a happy camper.

Here is an excellent link that simply explains "cramming"  the sleazy method of attaching unauthorized charges on your phone bill:     http://www.fcc.gov/guides/cramming-unauthoriz ... -telephone-bill

I received a charge for $1.99 + tax from MCI on my AT&T phone bill for a call to 900-446-2900.  I didn't make this call and asked AT&T to remove it which they did.  They said they would send the charge back to MCI and if they chose to bill separately they would have to do it directly.

I called the Verizon support center for my FiOS internet and the 800 number was intercepted by a message saying the new number was 900-446-2900. There was also a message it would cost $1.99. I guess Verizon is trying to pay off that expensive fiber optic they thought would save them. I WILL CANCEL MY VERIZON SERVICE as soon as the contract expires. What crap!

Please stop calling number 31836444559.  This is a number for an Elementary School.  You keep asking for Shawn Davidson #6753563. There is no one at this number.

PLEASE STOP CALLING!

7 Nov 11 I dialed 8007730404 which is customer service fo tricare4u. have used it before with no problem  on second ring a recording came on telling me that the number has been changed to19004462900 an i would be charged $1.99 if i called.  I switched to my cell phone and was connected to tricare4u customer service.  I haved reported this to trucare4u and to my phone carrier,BE AWARE

I called an 800 number today and got the message to call 900-446-2900.  It appears that MCI, now part of Verizon, gives you this message when a customer of theirs stops paying for (abandons) an 800 number.  The number I was calling (I have since found out) is no longer used by the company I was trying to reach, so instead of giving a "disconnected-no longer in service" message, Verizon trys to scam me into paying $1.99 for directory assiatance to find the company's new phone number.  This isn't some anonimus scam.  This is corporate greed brought to you be the people formerly known as WorldCom.  If you are a Verizon customer, use this opportunity to tell them what you think of their business practices.

I tried to call 800-531-8722 and was directed to 900-446-2900.   I was suspicious of this number and never called.  Glad I made the choice !

I got an MCI charge on my AT&T bill for a directory assistant call to 900-446-2900 for $1.99. I called AT&T. The service rep told me I need to call that number to find out about the charge. I wasn't about to call a 900 number, so I called AT&T again and got a different rep. This one said I had to call MCI. (I don't even have an MCI account) My AT&T bill list an MCI number which is the same as the AT&T number! I called AT&T again, this time the 3rd rep said she would take it off my bill, and block 900 numbers.
 The next month, I got credited, then charged again! same number, 1 minute call to MCI Direct Assist 900-446-2900.
 I called AT&T. He said I have to call MCI. I told him I don't even have MCI, and there is a 900 block on my phone. He connected me to MCI anyway. MCI said there was nothing I could do about it. He claimed my cat must have made the call, since I didn't. He said there is no such thing as a 900 Direct Assist, and his end didn't not say it was direct assist, just a 900 call. I went online, found hundreds of complaints about this number. So I called MCI again and said I wanted to file a complaint. The lady took all the info. She said the 900 calls are charged by another company through MCI. They called that number and got a "direct assist" that directed them to an alternative healing place, which directed them to some "radio personality" (huh?). She said it was not a scam... just block the 900 calls with AT&T. She suggested I switch to MCI. I told her that's a laugh!
 I'm still looking for a way to file a fraud complaint, and get on MCI to DO something!!!

I was calling a bank on their information line and a message came on directing me to call 900-446-2900 at a charge of 1.99 per minute, said I had to be 18 to make the call. I did not call that number. Instead I redialed the bank number and everything was alright this time. I'm just wondering if I should report this to the bank?
