Someone called a short while ago and identified themselves as Sprint Customer Support, and asked for my Security Question. I looked at the caller ID — and it was NOT identified as Sprint, just had the number. Wait a minute, didn’t I see that number before? These idiots have called me before, and I ratted them out at that time. If you’re a Sprint customer, DO NOT give information to anyone calling from this number:<\/p>\n
866-270-2114<\/p>\n
The lady was very evasive to my questions, and offered to handle the contact via email if I so chose. I informed her I would be very skeptical getting an email that was no better identified than that call was. Surprise! No email. Maybe I was supposed to give her my email address — but if she was from Sprint, that information is on my account number. She did not even know my name.<\/p>\n
If you page back far enough in my postings, you’ll find this number or a similar one mentioned in another post, I’m sure of it. <\/p>\n
Sprint does not have 866 numbers. They have confirmed that with me on previous occasions. If I remember my research from before, someone gave out their information and wound up with a new phone being billed to them (NOT from Sprint).<\/p>\n
Caveat emptor. Indeed.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
Me<\/p>\n
UPDATE: In the Egg on my Face Department, this number turns out to be a new service center for Sprint in Lenexa, KS. In the immortal words of Rosanne Rosannadanna: NEVER MIND!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
