CenturyLink review: Fraud 90

I just got a phone calll from [protected]. Now there a loan company offering KRAZY rates for a loan. You can supposedly borrow 2grand and only pay back 140 in interest over a year. To be sure you can make the first payment they want you to purchase a loadable money card for 90 dollars which would be your first installment. They want you to scratch the pin number and give it to them and they will (WATCH) the money for 3 hours and you will get your money in 4 hours. This is such a scam. It has redflags all over it. BEWARE
Don't do business any Indians named Frank Or Alex or Jimmy. Makes ya wanna just reach out and slap the ### outta them.

A "FRIEND" I didn't know in real life contacted me by phone to tell me that he has been receiving vulgar texts from me all day and he was going to have Facebook contact me about it. Someone called me with a heavy India accent, (the friend is from India) and was trying to trick me into getting remote access to my computer to get rid of so called hackers. When I told them that Iwas talking to the police about it first he started stuttering and said he'd call back and hung yp on me! Well I decided to take it one step further, and SPOOFED both phone callers! If you don't know what that is Google it and scared the mess out of them, they thought they were surrounded by the FBI! Now my "friend" blocked me and unfriended me!

I have been searching for a house to rent in San Jose, CA. Unfortunately, I have been running into a lot of scams. They claim to be out of the state or country and want money up front. This has been happening on craigslist and trulia.com. For example, if you google this number [protected] there are a few craigslist adds some of which have been flagged for removal at various locations. I got curious and looked up the number. Turns out, its a land line in Hampton Bays, NY under the name GLOBAL CROSSING LOCAL SERVICES (http://www.whycall.me/631-685-0062.html). I think what they do is the put random BS ads out there to get numbers and call back later and try to get personal information. My advice is to be careful about replying to ads especially if its written in poor english or at a price that is too good to be true. Also, when responding to ads, block your number before calling.

It's sooo fun to read all this. Rule of thumb, know who has your phone number and only answer those calls. If it's important they will leave a message, if you dont know the person or cant understand the message call only your debtors and people you do business with and ask if they called. NEVER call a number back even if you are on the do not call list becasue once you call them they can claim you began calling them and they are making an effort to retain your business. If it feels, sounds or looks odd it is. Also if you do answer tell them they can have any amount of money they want once you get an itemized bill in the mail (be nice and sweet and they'll ### themselves)

More scammer calls to try and steal personal information and identity information.

We just got a call at our small business from these same people with the phone # [protected] saying that we doubled billed there credit card and needed an immediate refund. Thank god we checked with our mercant service first the CC # they provided has never been used in this company.. WAY TO TRY TO SCAM SMALL BUSINESS !

I received a Phone from Phone # [protected] a Guy Introduced him self as Jack Wilson. He said he is talking from IRS. He said I was send letter from IRS for Scrutiny but I had not responded. I never get any letter from IRS. He said Now they had Issued a warrant. In Order to escape I had two Options Either I pay money with Penalty OR Go to Court. I told him to give me Address and Contact Information of Him and His Boss so that I can go and Meet him. He gave me IRS Actual Address in DC and Room # 254 and His Boss Name as James Morgan. When I asked Phone Number of Him and His Boss he get Frustrated and said that we are your servant but you should co-operate us. As I am not co-operation Now he will see and make sure that I will be Penalized for $ [protected] Penalty and Hangup Phone.

I have been getting calls from a number with my local area code, and voicemails left after each call. the voicemails are from a "mrs robinson" who is trying to see if this is a good number to contact ms (my name). she has a jamaican/west indian accent, and does not identify herself any further than "mrs robinson." the number she gives me to call back is an atlanta, GA number, with a prefix for Global Crossing Local Services. after reading all these messages, i believe it is a scam, but it is really nerve-wracking, as she has found both my house phone number and my dad's personal cell phone number. i think the best way to deal with it is to ignore the calls, because from other people's experiences it seems like trying to talk to them won't do anything but make the situation worse. this is very distressing, and i hope it stops soon.

[protected] is the number that called me today. I did not answer it. Google says its Global Crossing Local Services, Inc.-wa. Im so tired of these companies trying to bother me on my cell #. Just when you think you got rid of it on your landlines by no longer having it they find your cell #!

I have been receiving phone calls from [protected] I traced the phone call to the company name Global Crossing Local Services Inc. in Westchester, Pennsylvania. Who are these people? Is this a real company? Am I being frauded?

We have a new business and have opened a twitter account. I have been following like minded businesses in hopes that they will also follow us. I had a company I had followed-follow us back and offer to work with us or to have us try out equipment and we could review them and keep the items. They gave us a website and a phone number [protected] and signed the message Cameron. I was stoked! Then I got four more offers from other companies all with the same website, phone number, and name (Cameron) . They all said exactly the same thing. I googled the number as I'll of this smelt fishy. With a little investigation online I found the company Global Crossing Local Services INC is in Bellview Wa. Then I found all these sites claiming fraud. I'm so glad I did NOT call the number!

Well I have some news about Global Crossing Local Services: they now have a new scam here: http://www.topmostluxuryhomes.co/, or actually I think that some swindlers hired GCLS's services for this one.
As I wanted to rent a room for 10 days in San Francisco, I stumbled upon an ad on craigslist: beautiful furnished apartment on Pacific Avenue for 60$/day! Too good to be true. There was a website link in the ad, which I followed. The scam is well done, except that you have no company references nor address, only a phone number.
I sent them an email, and "Gayle Datson" explained to me how the rental works; but she talked a lot about the money transfer which was a bit weird.
I googled their phone number and bam! Global Crossing Local Services. And here I am now, wondering how I could have been so naive...60$/day for a luxury 1br in San Francisco who am I kidding

It is nearly impossible to avoid scam calls, one thing that works for me is to be very rude, so they know I know they are ###, the only ones I have not been able to stop is those of "The Prophet" so and so, that say "The Lord " told him me and my family are in danger, those are robotic calls and there is no way to speak with a person.

i am getting calls multiple times daily. [protected] i only know this is either a landline or cell in the indianapolis area. when i google it its global crossing local. i have never answered because i dont recognize the number, and now i know i wont!

i got a call from [protected] asking for my mom. i said NO ONE HERE BY THAT NAME. SCAMMERS

I receive calls from Global Crossing Local Services Inc - OH. The number that shows up every single time is [protected]. The name does not show up on the caller ID, just the number. They have been trying to call me for more than a year now, but I refuse to answer the call when I see that number pop up. They call at least once or twice a day. It will stop for short spans of time, but then they resume calling. So sick of this harassment. Just wish it would STOP.

I got the call today 10/5/2014. When you call back the number is not real. But when you look it up on the Internet it is global crossing local service .#[protected]

Last summer I was the victim of a Nigerian Online Romance scam.

This phone number was just used recently by that same scammer to contact me (I had blocked all other numbers). Anyone or company associated with this number is attempting to scam you out of money. Period.

[protected] has called me six times back to back. I dare you to call here one more time. Please. I have a surprise for you. Be sure to check with your employer about your medical insurance coverage prior to calling me. Make sure your policy contains extensive coverage for ear damage. Please call me now. I'm anxiously waiting.

Received a call from [protected] Caller ID is RESTRICTED Number is from Denver Colorado along with a huge list of other numbers for Global. My phone said there was a message, but it is just dead air. They called at 1 minute to lunch. I don't have a credit card, I don't owe any money to anyone, I am retired and on Social Security in the Sunshine State. There is no money here so why they are calling me is anyone's guess.
Watch out for these people!

I have received multiple calls from this company from multiple phone numbers with the latest one being [protected] and it comes up saying Lebanon, TN. Other numbers from these people are [protected] Stamford, Connecticut, [protected] Franklin, TN, [protected] TN, USA and those are just the few numbers they have called from in the past two weeks. The first time they called was about a month ago and they asked for my husband about some type of money that was owed to him and like others said they had a very thick Indian accent & from a telemarketing agency as you are able to hear several other people in the background. The man I spoke to was very persistent and rude when I told him that I wasn't with my husband at the moment and wanted to know where I was and he wanted me to give him a lot information that was none of his business. I did ask to speak with his supervisor and he stated he didn't have one so I asked for the name of the Company he was calling on behalf of and again he said that he wasn't working for a company and he refused to give me any information about anything other than his first and last name (which is probably a fake name). In the beginning I would block the numbers they were calling from but it got to the point where they called from a different number each time so now I just ignore the calls. I have reported them to the FTC but nothing has been done because I'm sure they are not in the USA and the numbers change rapidly.

I agree with everyone here. This company have many faces. I got a call from them using the number [protected].
Their deal was a cruise trip to the Bahamas for 3 days for $ 89.00. Stay away from them. Blocking the number may
do litter since they change phone numbers a lot.

I continue to get a call from [protected]. They are harassing and state I owe money and they need my social security number.

Wow! That is ridiculous. It almost seems unbelievable that they've been doing this since '09. My goodness. I downloaded an app that tells you from, who, etc. Is calling you. That company called me. And yes! They don't have respect for people's timezones or school hours. I never answer unknown numbers and it seems I'll be blocking them right now. I thank God I found that app. The number that called me is [protected]. I'll definitely tell my family about that app.

Given the number of complaints regarding sub-human debris using Global Crossing's services, and the inability of the Feds to do anything, maybe various States Attorney Generals can take direct action against the likes of Global Crossing and Level3 communications.

Just as the commies want to go after guns for crimes, it would seem only fair Global Crossing and Level3 communications should be held responsible for the trash they continue to do business with.

Here is the best advice I have received from a local attorney regarding these kind of calls. Contact the Secretary of State's office in your state and file a consumer complaint alleging fraud. Most all states have a mechanism in their Secretary of State's office for officially recording these types of complaints then following up through the legal mechanisms of the State Attorney General. Once they see a trend, they will react and contact the carrier of all the numbers used by the fraudulent enterprise.

MATHEWKUHN@OUTLOOK.COM Is connect to phone number [protected] along with MARKEVANS224@OUTLOOK.COM as is MATHEWKUHNS77@OUTLOOK.COM and phone number [protected]. They are SCAMMERS! GLOBAL CROSSING LOCAL SERVICES-INC PA is allowing these scam artists to take advantage of innocent people. What a disgrace!

Received 6 calls back to back on my cell phone from [protected], which I then googled and discovered was listed as being used by GLOBAL CROSSING LOCAL SERVICES in Connecticut. The location showed as Greenwich during the calls. I subsequently blocked the number. These people are the ### of the earth (as reading through the pages here will show you) and are precisely the reason why people have to screen calls, even on their cells, these days. If I could reach through a cell tower and slap these people hard in the face, I would.

Received calls and texts from person named Nicole from [protected] pretending to be Orange coast title company employee offering jobs.
Checked with the company directly - it's a fake, fishing and trying to trick people to pay them advance for the supplies. It has to be stopped.

I received a call tonight from Global Crossing around 9 PM. I work for a mental health agency in NJ and am currently on call for the next week, which means people who call with a crisis are rerouted from our main office number to my work cell. The number that came up was [protected]. I informed the gentleman on the phone that he was tying up a MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS LINE and promptly hung up. He hasn't called back yet and I hope he never does.

I received a text message from them today with my name and address on it. I knew something was wrong so I am deleting it after writing this. It is a too frequent thing anymore with all these scam companies. I am going to have to change my number because I am tired of the phone calls. I thought we had a do not call list, I hate to tell them, it isn't working

These ppl, global crossing, call me often. Never lave a msg. Hang up when I do answer. They call from dif #s. Today they called from [protected].

I got 4 calls yesterday a minute apart from this number #[protected]. I do not answer the phone from a number not in my phone book. I googled it and it said Global Crossing. They didn't leave a text or voice mail. This is a local number from my city Indianapolis. Marked number as scam.

Got a call rob-call from them claiming the IRS is suing me from #[protected]

Been getting lots of calls from D.C. area, New York, Pennsylvania and California. All the same, they are from the federal government and want to give me money that I don't have to pay back. I've bee blocking the numbers, but today, they sent a text with my name and address as well as a hyperlink to a website.
http://odkiu.com/YyBM1. The number that textured was [protected]. Not super how to stop this.

Received call today from [protected] - Global Crossing. Did not answer - no voice mail. Guess we can add Clover, South Carolina to the list. Sometime needs to be done to stop all this fraud.

I just had some rude lady call me and ask for my spouse over and over again. I said who are you. They said where is your spouse? I said who are you? They kept repeating themselves ignoring me. I said do not call my phone and ask for someone and not say who you are... They said is your spouse there (by spouse they asked for his name). I told them I had no clue who my spouse was... lol they then proceeded to tell me last minute that this call may be recorded and blah blah and hung up -_-

The phone number they keep calling me from is:
[protected]

They actually just called from California [protected]) before they called from the WA(360) number asking for me because they wanted to update me on something. I told them that it isn't her (my) phone anymore and to quit bugging me with phone calls simple... -_- I really wish I knew who these people actually were...

Received a call from [protected] located in georgia, a google search result claimed the number is part of this company global crossing local but they did leave a voice message and it turns out it was a corporate office calling me about a job I recently applied and got hired for. Assuming the website I found this info on must have been wrong since most people here seem to all be saying it's a telemarketing scam of some sort.
