Hi: For the past 2 weeks I've been getting a phone call from 1-888-472-2222 and anytime I pick up I get no answer. When you google this number it says it is a call from Shaw Cable. I checked Shaw`s site and it is Shaw`s phone number. Has anyone else here been getting this call and had someone reply to your "Hello"? It is really annoying.
I have it going to answering machine when I don't pick up, and I say Hello serveral times when I do answer. I hear clicking noises, but no one answers. Guess I just won't answer anymore.
my buddy answered, they are trying to up sell products and services, he said they tried to get him to change his TV service, he was going to get less channels for more money, lol
It is outsourced telemarketing, and it is an auto-dialer. I know, cuz that was my job last summer. The specific call centre I worked at is no longer doing Shaw, but outbound call centres are a dime a dozen.
The agents taking the calls were outsourced, but if they got a sale, the customer would be transferred to an order entry agent, who would be an actual Shaw employee.
I've received calls from this number, one just a few minutes ago, but like all "unknown" calls I never answer. If it's a legitimate call a voice mail message will be left; if from some bastard, no message is left (bastard-an illegitimate thing or entity).
