Sold my new phone # to telemarketers

****For all Comcast Customers*****

Please very careful when getting your telephone service through Comcast. I was charged $50 deposit, $29.99 activation fee and now $1.50 to have this phone number unlisted. I have had this telephone service for less than 14 days and I has received more than 20 telemarketing phone calls. Just to find out that, Comcast sells the phone numbers to telemarketers and expect the customer to pay $1.50 monthly to stop the annoying calls.

I am really annoyed with Comcast, one of our major cable carriers, expecting the customer to literally pay for some deal they have to get more money by selling the phone numbers and even more money to have them stopped. Someone pockets are getting really fat behind this.

I've changed my number twice already after getting hammered with telemarketers even though I *HAD* paid Comcast to make my numbers unpublished. I was FURIOUS to find out my phone, name and address were all in the white pages (something that NEVER happened until I switched to Comcast phone service). And my husband had changed his name to his nickname when we switched to Comcast (something he hadn't done with Verizon) and all of the telemarketers were calling him by his NICKname so we KNEW it was freaking COMCAST that kept selling our 'supposedly' private numbers. I'm so p.o.'d I want to scream. And now that all of that info is out there on the net, changing our numbers once AGAIN is not going to erase our address and names (something I was always diligent about keeping private with other phone companies). I warn everyone to check your info regularily online to make sure your phone service provider is not selling out your info to the WWW for every scammer and telemarketer to gander at.
