Robocall claims to be from MCI [telecom]

Aug 07, 2012 1 Replies

Over the last week or so, we've gotten several calls on our landline in which a recording tells us to call MCI immediately to verify information about our line or account or something. The number to call is



1-888-221-3190. Did a reverse lookup on the #; appears to be a telemarketer. Anyone know about this? How to get it to stop? Thx, Ron

Per Ron:

Over the past year robocalls to our landline have become so numerous that we have resorted to prefixing our answering machine's message with the SAT tones and not picking up the phone until we hear the voice of somebody we know.

IMHO it's going to continue to get worse until the providers will offer some technological solution - but I would not hold my breath until that day comes.
