Default Telemarketer scam

I just was called by some person posing to be a qwest representative. She told me that the long distance carrier they previously had upped their rates and that I had to give qwest permission to change over to their new corporate rates. When I asked her specifically if she worked for qwest she said yes. Then I asked for her name and position within the company and she said she was a telemarketer and then gave me her name. It sounded fishy so I asked to talk to her supervisor for his name and to verify she told me to go @### myself and hung up.

I called qwest and asked them about it and they said there are a couple companies going around and posing as qwest representatives. Just thought some of you might want to know.

Call your current provider and ask them to put a "pic" (I think that is how it is spelled?) freeze on your account asap. This makes it all but impossible for these cheese balls to slam your account. You will have to jump through some additional verification hoops should you choose to change providers at a later date - but worth it imho.
