Telecomm Paranoia

Conspiracy Theorists welcome! We switched our phone service from AT&T to Buckeye a short time ago. From the day of the disconnect we began getting robocalls -- 15 a day was typical -- even though we are on the Do Not Call registry. (Our phone number didn't change, just the provider). The calls stopped after the spouse called Buckeye to verify that nothing should have changed because of the switch.

Is it possible that someone hacked into the customer lists of either company -- or the company we left sold our name, or sold a list of departing customers? It was so bizarre. Has anyone else experienced a 2 or 3 day blitz of robo solicitations? Thank goodness we're back to normal!

Thats really weird!
We switched from At&t to buckeye last year and the restaurant and have not seen a major increase in robo-calls.

what kind of companies are making the calls?

We always get a flood of survey and political robocalls before, during and after voting days. Lately, we've gotten a flood of creditor calls looking for someone we've never heard of. I get all of these on both my private and my business landlines.

Agree with gamegrrl, its' voting season so the political calls will increase. Especially since OH is such an influential state for the Presidential race. Heard a couple times that no republican has won the race without getting OH's vote.
