Did Cox Call Me?

Can't say for sure. I called from a anom number and it rang to no answer, so it isn't a call center, I can say that much. Looks like registered to VA and has valid caller ID info "Cox Comm". Do you live in VA? If so, my guess would be it was a technician.

Called again today.  Unless Diane Zimmerman of Fairfax Virginia works for Cox, I'd suspect someone is spoofing her number to scam me.

I checked at 800notes.com  which is a telephone spam fighting website. ( i don't work for them or promote them in any way).   If the phone number is a spammer, it will show up there.  There were no complaints.

I did a Google search. I did not give a definitive answer.  2 less-than-trustworthy sites list a woman Anna or a man Jared as the owners of that number.

My favorite call had the Caller ID as my own number.  That made me look twice.

If it said Cox Communications, i think i would answer it.  Just once to see. But only if i lived in the 703 area code. 

The spammers can "spoof" any number.  I read an article about a dentist whose work number was spoofed to sell security systems (at least that is what the spammer said).  The dentist got hundreds of calls from people screaming at him to stop calling them.  His receptionist tried to explain but the callers were so mad they didn't listen.... just slammed down the phone.

A Google search would reveal any complaint on 800notes or MrNumber.  All I found was lists of numbers and reverse lookups.  Neither is productive.

Cox wouldn't call me unless I have an open trouble ticket.  I don't.  However, if Cox is now pushing their gimcrackery via phone calls, well, I'm better off not answering it.

I thought a moderator could clarify.

When you said "one of ours," do you mean a phone number used by Cox to call its customers...or a phone number Cox assigns to one of its customers?  I'm sure it's a Cox number...but who is it assigned to?

Diane Zimmerman of Fairfax Virginia either works for Cox...or is a Cox subscriber.

My privy email with Cox revealed a sales call.  Somebody wants to sell me something.

Historically, this has been a residential telephone number.  Now it's assigned to their Sales Dept?  Or did Cox give an unassigned, throwaway number to a third-party telemarketer?

Cox requested I be removed from their call lists, but I have to wait three days for the calls to stop.
