They call and want to verify our address (reading very fast from a script) regarding giving us rebates/discounts on utility bills. Blah Blah Blah........We hung up on them

Called our company talking very fast about wanting to verify our address and send us rebates to use on our utilities and such - I advised that we weren't interested and she immediately switched to her rebuttal script stating that many people are concerned about conducting business over the phone - I hung up at that point - we NEVER authorize ANYONE calling on the phone to send us ANYTHING - too many scams out there

Caller want to send something FREE, however to do this they have to record the conversation.  I told this [***], if it were free you would not be trying to record a response or trick me into saying yes.  GOOD BYE!

Got called this morning from the same number, missed the call.  Called it back and guess what? It is a disconnected number.  A quick call to the service provider from this number revealed that some one is faking their caller ID to show this number - but they are really calling from another number.  Trying to slam your phone service with a third party charge!  Don't give out the info they want or you could get hit with some hefty unauthorized charges on your bill later on.   Best thing to do is to call your phone company and tell them that you want a THIRD PARTY BILLING BLOCK.  This will prevent anyone from charging anything to your phone bill unless you or your authorized party grants permission to do so. Best of all - it's FREE from most service providers.  Just ask for it.
Tell these scammers to F*ck off!!

called and wanted to record the conversation where they would verified the address

Wish that these sobs would quit calling.

These people called two days ago.  A woman.  Wanting to send something. Identified herself as SBC, I think.  I said no and said to remove me.  Evidently she flipped the pages on her little 'guide' and started another speech.  I said "Not Interested.  Remove me now." and hung up.  This morning, from same number, this time a man.  Saying he wanted to send something and also identifying himself as SBC. I informed him they'd already been told not to call me again.  He started the 'but it's free' spiel and I hung up.  GAWD I hate telemarketers wasting my time!

Just received phone call from a man who said he represented SBTS - Small Businesses T-something Services, and wanted to send info and verify my address to send rebate for utilities. I told him the boss had to speak with him and that he would have to call back. I was glad to see this page of info here and will be happy to find out more info if and when he calls to warn people about and tell him we're not interested.

Reading these comments are identical to what happened to us today. I notified AT&T, and put a third party billing block on our account. They recorded my son saying the word "Yes". Be careful!!!!!

Same thing just happen to me.  When he wanted to verify my address I hung up... this makes the 4th call in a month.

Thanks for the advise, we have activated THIRD PARTY BILLING BLOCK on all of our business lines. They claim to be calling from Small Business Services ..... and they have a utility credit offer and need authorization to send their financial and tax services to us. My next question was: What is the relationship between a utility credit and their financial services? They passed me to another person to verify the address. I regret that I was too polite to them.

Register your phone in the DO_NOT_CALL_LIST government database. by Law, any solicitor should consult the database first before calling you and if they do, you can file a complain. They will then be investigated and get a stiff fine. I just filed a complaint ... all information is available at https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

They called today 08/17/2009 asking to verify my address for rebate on our utility bill, after my polite answers, that I am not going to verify anything until I found out who they are and research in to their company they wont give up and start going in to routine adding stuff to my phone bill, I believe that there was a recording going on and I have to in rude manner say that I don't want anything add to my phone bill they left me alone.

A woman called, talking very fast.  Said she wanted to offer $300 rebates on Utilities bills.  When I asked if they were charging anything then she finally admitted they would be charging $49.95.  Never before I asked did they say they would be charging our company.

these people called my business. right off you know that it's a scam because they talk fast and keep saying that you will get $300 they just need to verify your address. if you just keep saying "not interested. put me on the do not call list" they will get angry and then hang up on you.

these people should be shut down

They've called several times.  They claim they are sending a $300 rebate check (free money from total strangers -- it must be a legitimate call!!!).

Scammers.

well, we got called from them today and the same ole story..talk fast, double talk, get $300 back "just confirm your address".
like my dad used to day, there is NOTHING FREE! hang up on them! if you have a fog horn or anything like that blast it in their ear!

A woman called this morning from this number and said she was from "SBTS Advisors." It was noisy in the background as if she was at a conference or convention or something. I asked her to repeat where and she talked really quickly and sounded annoyed when she repeated "SBTS" as if it was GE or a recognizable name brand. I said I didn't know what "SBTS was" and hung up. I am on the "Do Not Call List" but am going to re-register. Totally annoying.

My daugherty worked at a salon ...sounds like the same bs they gave her ...they asked for her own personal info... she ended up having to add a fraud alert to her credit bureau acct..the women afford a $300 rebate and needed the last four digits of her social...shes young and fell for it.. only having work there 1 week...
