(608) 729 in Madison, WI

This is a scam call. Watch out for this, kiddies.

Received the exact same message with no person named very general. I have no letter. If this is not a call from the state of Wisconsin I hope they buckle down and stop them and fine them they are no better then the people who take advantage of seniors or sends emails with a scam for money.

Left a message stating, "This is the State of WI calling concerning a letter that we recently sent you. We will call you again in a couple of weeks. If you see the number 608-729-0020 on your phone it is the State of WI calling you." I had not received a letter so I knew immediately it was not the state because of how the message was stated, and the state will almost never call you, they will have you call them. This is scam.

The voice mail message stated, "This is the state of Wisconsin calling in regard to the letter we sent you. The next time you see 608-729-0020 on caller id you need to answer because this is the state of Wisconsin calling in regard to letter you received. We will try to contact you again within a few weeks."

I just received a call from this number (01/24/14), left a message (recorded message non the less) stating: "that it is an important phone call from the state of WI concerning a letter that was sent to me from the state of WI and that it is important for me to save their number into my contacts as they will call back concerning the state of WI." The message sounds like a scam as it kept repeating itself and truly, if it was the state of WI I'm pretty sure they would request I call them back! I have not received ANY such letter, already have healthcare through employer, and that phone # has nothing to do with the State of WI. Scott Walker and JB Van Hollen are LETTING people get ripped off as a ploy by the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, etc., to try and make the affordable care act look bad. Scumbag GOP in Madison, with nothing better to do than rip off the good people of WI.

Contacted me claiming to be from the state of Wisconsin official business. Noted in msg. Left on my phone that I should refer to correspondence sent to me by state two weeks earlier. I had,t rec,d any mail CD and grew suspicious.

The voice mail message stated, "This is the state of Wisconsin calling in regard to the letter we sent you. The next time you see 608-729-0020 on caller id you need to answer because this is the state of Wisconsin calling in regard to letter you received."

This number belongs to Direct TV Sales and Accounts. Every time I have received a call from this number I was conned into taking a added package to my Direct TV service, most of the time it was a good deal however I have my account marked as invoice pay only, and Direct TV uses these great added packages with the condition you must become auto pay, Of course when I speak with the sales person they avoid telling me that it requires me switching to auto pay. After they sell the package to me they very quickly go threw at the very end of the call all the new things I am getting on such a great deal because I am such a good customer and they "will mark my account to show the new package activate the service right away along with the required auto pay." Legally, no company can require a customer to use one type of payment over another, but Direct TV tries every trick in the book to make all their customers auto pay. Do yourself a favor and search the internet for "Direct TV"+"lawsuits"+"charging"+"credit card" and you will also see what I did, Direct TV is well known for over charging their customers using autopay and refusing to charge back any mistake they "accidentally" made, according to them "we have no way to put a charge back onto your card!" I can assure everyone they do have a way to charge back to your card because I made them do it to mine with the threat of suing them if they didn't, but they stick to their story and then tell them you are done with them and you are making a call to the Attorney General of your state to file a complaint. Then some how they discover a way to charge back the over charge they made, likely because 41 of the states currently have pending Direct TV customer payback and an additional restitution for the Direct TV customers who make the complaint to their Attorney Generals. In my state it is the original mistake they made plus $800.00 for the restitution on the class action ruling in those states. All you have to do to collect is call and file a complaint with your Attorney General. Direct TV has tried 18 times to offer me some great deal in exchange of being such a good customer and switching to auto pay. I think everyone who gets Direct TV should insist on invoice pay only then make sure they don't get con-ed into becoming auto pay, because of their constant attempt to get me to switch to auto pay, I am convinced Direct TV knows they do this over charging and tries to do it to all of their customers. If your thinking of getting Direct TV do yourself a favor and insist on invoice pay only then be careful they don't con you into auto pay by always asking them if the offer requires switching to auto pay, and you will see I am right. Direct TV really has a great con going and they must be stopped. Just think of it this way, Direct TV says they have 72 million customers, and if they only overcharged all of them by one dollar they would be sitting on a surplus of 72 million dollars that they can get interest on, because they refuse to refund any over charges, they don't take your money, they do put it on your account, but they are also making one hell of a lot of interest off all the over charges they make. When a class action suit starts for making Direct TV responsible for their "mistakes" My name will be the first on the list.
