This phone number calls but fails to leave a message regarding purpose of call.

Been getting calls from this number for several weeks.....identifies self as T-Mobile & has important message for me & to return call ASAP.  I called T-Mobile & they searched their records & that number 201-297-4498 does NOT belong to them.  They leave voice mails all the time saying it's important to call them back.  It has gotten very annoying to say the least!!! And I'm in Texas.

I'm betting it IS T-Mobile! I *just* switched from them to Verizon. And if you want to KEEP your number, obviously T-Mobile still has it.

I didn't WANT to change my number, so I kept it. I'm certain this is T-Mobile!

P.S. I wonder if there's a way to get Verizon (or whatever carrier you're with) to block this number?

I have been getting this number for months now.  Numerous times a day with no message.  I just left TMobile, so there might be a connection!!

Me too - just left T-Mobile and took my number with me.  I hate T-Mobile - they were TERRIBLE.  I wouldn't be surprised if it IS them.  Anyone answer when this number called?  Was there anyone there?

Me too, just left T-Mobile  went to Verizon and kept our old number same thing! Calls Numerous times a day and we are in Oregon. What can be done?

This number 201 297 4498 keeps calling and when i try to call back a get a person speaking indian or something saying this number cannot be reached

T-Mobile thieves sell on 500,000 customers' data

A mobile phone company employee sold the details of half a million customers to a former colleague for thousands of pounds, a court heard.

Darren Hames, 39, stole the 500,000 items of data from T-Mobile, where he was a highly-paid area sales manager, to David Turley, 40, who had set up his own business to cash in on the scam.
Technology experts said the case, which is the first of its kind, would have led to customers being 'cold-called' with inducements to switch to rival phone companies.

It is an alarming demonstration of how easily personal data can fall into the hands of criminals, they added.

The men were yesterday ordered to pay back more than £70,000 as details of their crimes emerged.

Hames simply copied the information - including names, addresses and phone numbers - about customers whose contracts were due to expire on to a memory stick, and handed it to Turley at a McDonald's outlet.

Investigators found he had promised to supply Turley - whom he met when both worked at a T-Mobile office in the West Midlands - with details of 30,000 customers a month. Turley sold this on to a business targeting customers to switch to a rival operator.

Following a two-year investigation by the Information Commissioners Office, Turley pleaded guilty to 18 breaches of the Data Protection Act by obtaining, disclosing and selling the data between 2007 and 2008. Hames admitted two counts.

Yesterday at Chester Crown Court, Turley, of Birmingham, was ordered to surrender £45,000 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Hames, of Stone in Staffordshire, was told to pay £28,700.

If they fail to hand over the money within six months they go to jail for 18 months and 15 months respectively.

The scandal is embarrassing for T-Mobile, which was accused of failing to protect confidential information.

It also led to calls for a toughening of the law on data theft to enable those caught selling personal information - or failing to protect it from theft - to be jailed rather than simply fined.

A T-Mobile spokesman said: 'We hope this serves as a significant warning to those who seek to profit from unlawfully obtaining customer data'

My sister just switched from T-Mobile to Sprint and also gets this call many times a day, even though she doesn't owe them anything

I left t-mobile and started getting calls from this #????? WTF ! Anyone been able to solve this problem?

I just left T-Mobile and move to sprint and I started to get this phone calls from the same number 201-297-4498 they never answer or leave a message. And yes, you want to keep your number and they still have it. That company is terrible. Can somebody protect us from this criminals.

I just left t mobile like about 2 weeks ago, this is the first time I am getting this call... but im kind of scared if they are going to continue to call. I kept my number because it is too much of a pain to switch numbers.. though I am about tempted to change numbers now if this is going to call me multiple times a day.

I also left T-Mobile and went to straight talk with my old number and have started to get these call numerous times each day with no message left !!!

Interesting- I also left Tmobile recently and get these calls daily. Numerous times with no message.

I get a call from 201-297-4498 once a day for probably the past week. I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon so I'm sure it's T-Mobile. I haven't ever answered it, and they don't leave a message. Now that I know it's T-Mobile I will answer it and see what they want. It's incredibly annoying. Has anyone actually answered it and talked to anyone?

I also switched from T Mobile to Sprint recently and get these calls twice a day.  Luckily my phone has the option to force specific contacts straight to voicemail when they call.
