800-855-0000

I have no idea who it was as they apparently couldn't hear me for some reason.  But they just wouldn't hang up... I was trying to see how long it would take, but she just sat there saying "Hello?" for over 5 minutes.  I have no idea which of my numbers they called because I have 199 different numbers all over North America that forward to my BlackBerry.  The best part is though that only my exclusive clients have these numbers.

A person came on the line and said he was a tty (hearing impaired) relay service.  He told me to hold on and I waited, I questioned if there were any charges to my phone, he told me no.  No one came on the line so I hung up. WIERD!!!!!

800-855-0000

Your welcome

i got a call from this number today, probably from my yellowbook ad for my computer shop. it was lady saying what a mute user was saying...the guy wanted to buy 5 grand worth of laptops and have them overnighted...so it sounds to me alot like a 419 scam...im a small business guy so i cant afford it, i dont know what to do

someone called me this morning with questions about trying to learn how to ride bikes and had all my friends info and mine.Very strange.

I can understand it being a relay call because that's how i can communicate with some of my relatives when I don't have the tty plugged up. Whether or not someone is using the services to try to scam you all i don't know. I know that Relay services for the hearing impaired are very legit. I will have to wait for another call from them to see if this is indeed the relay number.

ugh! i dont care if its legit or not. i dont know anyone who would call me using tty and i get 3 calls a day from this number. it needs to stop

this number call me twice and never said any thing both times

Well. I happen to know a lot about relay. Yes that whtat it is. Its for deaf or hard hearing people. The call you from the computer using one of the relay employees. I know a lot of my friends use it for prank calls though. AT&T is one of the relay users. It has very easy access all you have to do is go 2 AT&T relay and click make a call. type in the persons phone number and your in. So its most likly by somone you know pranking you.

and if u answer it once and tlk to them the stop. I get one from my brother or one of my friends every week. (there not deaf) so no alarm its really nothing.

Dude! This is the most amazing advice for pranks ever known to man! You get on AT&T Relay and there you go. It's amazing! Me and my friends love it!

This number has called my place of business 2x. I own a Body & Mechanical repair shop. They were trying to get me to wire $3,000 to Texas to have a vehicle towed to my shop in MD. I told them that I was on to their Scam and they hung up. The operator identified herself as a TTY operator for AT&T.

Someone made a call with the AT&T Relay Service when you get calls from this service. They are looking for Cat & Cummins equipment parts. We get a few calls every single month, useually from the same guy. He faxes 7 emails us too, but it almost 99.999999% of the time is a SCAM! These calls are usually scams. They are supposed to be from people who are deaf and access the internet, but people scam them. It is a terrible shame that this service is abused.

Don't trust anyone who calls like this. They will ask you to take a credit card for something & wire the money to someone else for them.  BIG TIME SCAM!!

I have been receiving calls from this number non-stop asking about my photography services.  I told the relay person I prefer to communicate by email because there is a lot of information and pricing to provide. I got the person's email address and sent her a message, but i still get 2 calls a day.  I just stopped answering.......

This is a tty and because I advertise online, scammers use this service to try the basic Nigerian scam. They must use the tty so we cannot hear the accent. If you advertise goods or services online that can be bought by private individuals, if you get these calls, they are most likely scams.

I received a call today from a lady w/AT&T tele-typing for a hearing impaired man said his name was Michael Ford. Wanted to know if we did brake work. He wanted to have his car shipped from PA to GA. He was having surgery in 2 days and recently located to our area. He was going to give us credit card info for $3500 and send the difference. We told the teletyper sounded like a scam and she told us he had hung up.

Scammer, probably from Nigeria using IP Relay- wanted to order 7 really large arrangements,  pay for it with a credit card,  charge $100 extra and have us pay $1000 via Western Union to an unnamed "shipper" who would be picking these up -  
Shame on these scammers who abuse a legitimate service that is a lifeline to the hearing impaired!

Our business received 2 TTY assisted calls but the caller ID showed 2 different(504)area code phone numbers. On reverse look-up these were private unlisted numbers. The service the supposed "customer" wanted didn't make sense, so we had a heads up that something wasn't right.
We then received a message on our recorder from 800-855-0000 - "consider me an interested person - this caller is probably a scammer - be very careful when dealing with this person."
Thank you AT&T relay operator who is probably putting their job in jeopardy by such a warning.

got re-lay call from michael ford for shipping of a boat. wants us to charge him 2x then western union him the difference. gave us 2 cc#'s.  weird part is 1 of them is local & has done boat work w neighboring buis. he called back 3 weeks later not realizing he tried this SCAM w us before.

I think somebody jusgt called me trying to scam me. I am selling puppies and they wanted me to take a certified check and pay the person who was going to pick the puppy up out of the check. I was kind of leary when the caller had to keep telling me the reason why they could not call me was because they are hearing impaired. I just want to find my pups good home and not be scammed in the process.
