I got called by this number more than 4 times today and no messages being left. It is very annoying. Then when I tried to call the number back, it took me straight to a directory option with no names. If this was unemployment office they would leave a message saying so.

A lady called me from this number saying it's unemployment and then asking for my SS#. I promptly hung up. Any government unemployment office would NEVER call on a Saturday, and would NEVER ask for your social. Typically, you should have a password -- the one you use to log in to unemployment claims online.

Please don't fall for it, it's a scam. They called me today saying it's the unemployment office and asking for my SS#. I hung up. The unemployment office does not call on Saturdays. And Florida (where I live) can barely pay govt. jobs between Mon-Fri. I called back to check and their fake phone tree was a dead giveaway telling me there had been an "error" and I could not leave a message. I was about to tell them I had reported them to the Better Business Bureau and that I would expose them online ASAP.

I got a couple of calls from this number, they said they're calling from the "Unemployment Office of Florida's Orlando Office." She stated she was calling in response to an email I sent. First, I never sent an email. Second, I changed my number to my landline with Unemployment yet this number keeps calling my cell phone. Third, it's not called the "Unemployment Office of Florida" it's the Agency for Workforce Innovation, they never say unemployment office. Fourth, everything government in FL is based out of Tallahassee so no matter what there would only be 850 numbers, none from any other area code. Though they do have field offices for people to go and file paperwork and stuff, unless you were specifically waiting for a call from someone at that office, any calls from AWI would be from an 850-number. I got into with a guy earlier when I called back the number who at first told me he never heard of the person who left a message on my voicemail and then got upset when I refused to give him my social security number. I would beware of this number. I know it's pretty much impossible to get someone on the 800-number, but I would suggest trying that or finding a number yourself on the AWI website.

February 5 2009 - 1:43 pm ET | Jeffrey Silva | RCR Wireless News
AT&T Mobility filed a lawsuit in Georgia federal court to crack down on autodial telemarketers offering wireless consumers extended automobile warranties, making it the second national wireless operator to pursue litigation to halt the practice. The carrier’s lawsuit alleges the telemarketers used spoofing techniques to disguise the callers’ origin.
“ATTM brings this action to preserve the privacy of its subscribers and ATTM company official-use accounts through entry of an injunction prohibiting defendants’ illegal conduct and an award of statutory and common law damages,” stated AT&T Mobility in the 20-page suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
The No. 2 wireless provider, headquartered in Atlanta, said the telemarketing at issue is prohibited by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and a Federal Communications Commission rule requiring telemarketers to transmit caller identification numbers.
Elizabeth Lordan, a spokesperson at the Federal Trade Commission, said such telemarketing also appears to violate the agency’s Telemarketing Sales Rules governing the National Do Not Call Registry. Lordan said she is not aware of any completed FTC investigations involving autodial-based extended auto warranty telemarketing. Lordan also said she was unable to say whether the FTC has any probes in progress.
<snip>
Because spoofing is inherently integral to this kind of telemarketing, figuring out who is behind the enterprise is itself a challenge. AT&T Mobility said one number alone — 800-219-7425 — made more than 13 million calls to wireless numbers through telecom carriers Paetec Communications, Global Crossing and MCI Inc./Verizon Communications Inc. AT&T said it will need to subpoena those companies and others to determine the owner and operator of various spoofed phone numbers.

Attorney General, Agency for Workforce Innovation Warn Floridians About Unemployment Claims Scams
~ Jobless Floridians reminded there is no charge for filing unemployment claims ~
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum and Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWI) Interim Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo today issued a joint consumer advisory warning Floridians to be wary of companies offering to file unemployment compensation claims for a fee. Recent reports from other states indicate consumers have signed up for such services, only to later discover unemployment claims were never filed on their behalf. Of equal concern is that consumers have also provided their social security numbers, thinking they were dealing with state agencies.“We are dedicated to helping Floridians receive the unemployment benefits to which they are entitled,” said AWI Interim Director Lorenzo. “The Agency for Workforce Innovation offers free, convenient and secure online filing at our website,
http://www.floridajobs.org.”
“It really is unthinkable that a con artist would try to victimize someone trying to receive assistance in a time of need,” said Attorney General Bill McCollum. “I encourage Floridians to remain vigilant to prevent falling for this scam.”
Some states have reported complaints from consumers who have conducted internet searches for “unemployment claims” or similar terms which provided results including private companies. Consumers are then directed to provide their social security numbers and receive e-mails from the companies saying their claim is being processed. Complaints from other states also indicated that consumers were told that for a fee, they could receive help on their resumes, and while terms and conditions are posted on the websites, they aren’t always readily apparent to consumers.
Attorney General McCollum and the Agency for Workforce Innovation encouraged consumers to be wary of providing personal information such as social security numbers to unknown entities. Floridians are also reminded that there is no charge for filing unemployment claims.
Consumers who believe they may have been victimized by potentially deceptive or unfair practices should contact the Attorney General’s Office by calling 1-866-966-7226 or by visiting the Attorney General’s website at
