THIS IS A SCAM...This company called me at 8am claiming to be at&t. They are NOT AT&T. First off, about a week ago I got a card in the mail claiming to be from at&t with at&t's logo which was a gift card for $10.00 for amazon but you have to call to collect the gift card. It said:...In celebration of small business week, we're excited and humbled to honor your hard work and accomplishments. And don't think for a second we didn't notice. That's why we look for ways we can help you do what you do even better...blah blah. And as our way of recognizing all you've already achieved, we're pleased to reward you with a $10 amazon gift card. Simply call 1-877-783-9694. Ok, so I thought right away that if it was really from at&t that they would have just sent me a giftcard instead of me having to call for it so I knew it was a scam but I called the number anyways just to make sure. The lady on the end answered "at&t". She told me she was with at&t but I told her I needed to contact at&t to be sure she wasn't a scam artist before i gave her any info which i did and at&t said they never sent me a letter and they aren't giving away gift cards and that yes, it is a scam and they are a third party that are contracted with at&t to solicit me. if i were to give out any info to them they could charge money on my account. i was pissed that at&t gives out my personal information to third parties and didn't even tell me. anyways, they put a block on the third parties from charging to my account just in case it happens but there is nothing they can do about selling my info i guess. so i call this company back claiming to be at&t and i tell them that they are NOT AT&T and tell her what at&t did say to me and then she told me her company name which is TM1 COMPANY or TM ONE. Anyways, she woke me up at 8am! She told me she would take me off her list for the second time. We will see! I am going to report them to everything I can think of. BBB, Attorney general, everyone! THIS IS A SCAM!
