A woman called me talking Spanish. She said to be from TMobil, that they were going to give me a discount in my bill. She asked me the last 3 digits of my zipcode. Then I received a text msg seemed from TMobil, it said that I'd been assigned a temporary password.I told her I'd calle her back, and she hanged up
Got a call from a lady with a really thick Indian (?) accent. I didn't question it because companies often outsource support to such countries and it wouldn't be the first time I could barely understand the person on the phone.She said I would get a $20 credit if I answered the survey. Luckily I looked up the number as I answered the phone and saw that this was a scam.I received a text containing a temporary password, and she wanted me to read this code back to her. If I hadn't been paying attention, I might have, although the body of the text didn't seem like it was for a promotion.Basically all she did was input my phone number into the "forgot password" form on the T-Mobile site and try to trick me into telling her my password so she (or whoever) could log in with it. She even tried calling back after I hung up.
Got a missed call from this number. With all the scams going on right now, I always Google an unknown number to see who called just in case it's important. Thanks for the info everyone! BTW, anyone who has T-Mobile should know that T-Mobile only does surveys through free text messages not by calling you. And the surveys are just one line questions with a response of numeric grading like 1 through 5....
SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!... 'POSING' AS TMOBILE (or AT&T in the past, or both)... PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THESE NUMBER. JUST HANG-UP AND BLOCK THE NUMBER IN WHATEVER WAY YOU CAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.SO, "Whomever" IS READING THIS, PLEASE BLOCK THAT NUMBER (1-800-866-2453) RIGHT NOW, EVEN IF YOU CAN NOT BLOCK THIS NUMBER BECAUSE IT IS A '1-1800' YOU CAN STILL SET YOUR PHONE TO ALWAYS SEND IT TO VOICEMAIL.BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! ;)
This is a scam. I checked with T-Mobile & they confirmed it's not anyone representing their company & is in fact a scam to get your personal information.
Normally smart about this stuff, but I almost got sucker by this one. Just like all of the previous posters, I got a call from somebody with a thick accent wanting me to answer a survey and they'll give me a $20 credit on the account. The asked the usual questions: how do I like the service, what's the best part of being a T-Mobile customer, etc. They also asked to confirm the last 4 of my social and Birthday. That should have tipped me off right there, but since I get that whenever I call T-Mobile customer service, I didn't think too much. Then, they said they were going to "confirm my account" and I should get a text with a password reset for my T-Mobile site. Sure enough, I tried to log on with it and I couldn't get on. Luckily, I was able to reset it again before any information has changed. T-Mobile confirmed that there is no such survey/promotion going on. If this happens to you, make sure you can get into your My.T-Mobile.Com account. If not, change the password NOW. Second, get T-Mobile to a verbal password on your account whenever you call their 1-800 number. Third, if you're a member of Lifelock, give them a call too and let them know what's going on.
I got the call 10 min ago and fell for it. I tried to login to my account after and the password did not work so I reset it very quickly.I really hope they will not access other information. I still can't believe I fell for it.
I was lucky to change my password quick enough and they were not able to do anything. T-Mobile told me that they usually access the SIM card info and download it to their own phones to make long distance calls.My online account was locked by the T-Mobile fraud department as they found something was suspicious.p.s. You can change the last 4 digit social to be anything other than social and it is safer this way. Just in case.
Its Tmobile (cell carrier) -- they are either trying to verify a contact number or something else. I just bought a plan from them and they called the contact number i gave within 2 hours of my purchase. hope this helps!!
