Beware reported a Scammer/Fraudster (6477002435 from area, ON). The following comments were posted: LISTEN, I get calls from this phone number more than once on a daily basis. If you answer the call in 2014 and an actual person talks to you, the beginning of the conversation goes like this: representative claims heshe is from Wind Mobile and then asks you to confirm some personal information like your address and date of birth. When this happens and if you answer the questions, then you are NAIVE. Even if you agree when the representative negotiates that heshe will disclose some details like your street name or month of birth but youll have to complete the missing details, then you are still NAIVE. RULE#1: Dont disclose personal information to STRANGERS WHO CALL YOU because they can claim that they work for a certain company but in reality they dont. Watch the movie Identity Thief. The best way to handle such incoming calls that ask for your personal info is to ask the caller a callback number and YOU WILL CALL THEM. My experience with the call from 647-700-2435, the "representative" asked me to confirm my address. I refused and I asked her what the call is about. She irritably refused to give me the reason for her call, instead she told me to call 611 (Wind on my mobile). I didnt call 611, but I called the 6477002435, and I confirmed its associated with Wind because the standard Wind Menu voice machine came on. I spoke to a Wind representative and I told him someone from their office called me. He told me there are no notes or documentations on my account, no records that Wind has even attempted to call me, no reason why they would even contact me. I was surprised. Then who the heck called me? He asked what phone number called me. I told him, and in fact its the number I called to reach him. He put me on hold for 2 mins to investigate. GET THIS: The Wind representative told me that 647-700-2435 is not in any way associated with Wind Mobile. I asked him, "But thats the # I called to reach you!?" Then he came up with the conclusion that the "scam artist" used CALL FORWARDING. My call to 6477002435 was forwarded to the Wind Customer Hotline to make me believe that the # is really from Wind, with the hopes that next time they call me, I would be convinced that they really are from Wind and I would be more cooperative in disclosing my personal information to these scam artists. I hope someone learns from my experience. Permalink: http://www.numberinvestigator.com/phone/647-700-2435.html
