How do we limit what Cox shares about our internet usage?
I'm receiving pop-ups obviously related to internet browsing (and not email) - cars, consumer goods, etc. -- and wondering where we can limit the information that cox shares. I can't find any such links on the website. I had a similar problem after contacting Cox for possible Homelife installation, when I started receiving sales calls from multiple alarm companies. Any help appreciated!1.7KViews0likes1Comment
Caller ID Spoofing
Greetings One and All, With regard to Call Spoofing, Not being Lawful! There ARE a host of SCAM calls being placed daily, throughout Our United States Of America, and Abroad, from 900 series area codes. When you get a call from one or more, of these 900 series area codes, and you actually answer said call, you will Not hear anyone at the other end of the call which you have answered! You Shall however, hear the distinctive Click, of the phone having been DIS-Connected, (Hung Up). At this point, who ever the SCAM entity actually is, that SCAM entity SHALL, be able to utilize your telephone number, by you having answered said call to begin with, And, the SCAM entity Shall simply forge ahead, with placing an Endless number of International Telephone Calls, which Shall be billed to YOUR very own telephone number, Even Though mind you, those International Telephone Calls, had Not been initiated by you! Another portion of this SCAM, is that Your telephone number, Shall Be, shared with/sold to, many other SCAM entity(s), through the ongoing/endless SCAM net-working, which SHALL increase the amount of International Telephone Calls, which Are Billed to Your telephone number, without mind you, Any End of this type of activity, in the near, mid, and or long term, UN-Less mind you do follow through with one or more of the following. (1) You have your telephone service Changed, and or, DIS-Connected, when you First notice, any such activity with/on your monthly telephone bills. "DO Read Your Monthly Telephone Bills", or, You "SHALL Have" your feet held to the Billing Fire, for ALL of the SCAM calls made against your telephone number, period! (2) Request Of, your telephone service provider, to Actually change your telephone number completely, of which and to which, is almost certainly NOT going to happen, due to the fact, that most all, of the telephone service providers, Shall NOT Normally Do Much, If Anything At All By The Way, without you being Exceptionally FIRM with them to begin with! (3) If you have the time, and willingness to follow through, with actually Tracking, and, To Find Out who the SCAM entity(s) actually are, then there are means presently in place, which Shall bring these SCAM entity(s), to the Righteous Justice, which they ALL are deserving of having placed upon them, Once And For All Time, And, until or course, the next Telephone Number, SCAM net-work gets themselves established somewhere, and then, the whole process of Tracking/Finding Out who these Lame At Best SCAM individual(s) actually are, Starts Again! Thank you for having taken the time to read what I have conveyed herein. Have a good day/evening. Sincerely, Ironhand "SEMPER FIDELIS" Forum: Phone Forum Posted: 1 May 2013 Post Subject: Caller ID Spoofing Post author: zone11 I receive an incoming call, but there is a hang-up either in half a ring or just when I answer. I look at the caller ID and it displays a valid phone number from somewhere in the USA. I call it back, and get a three-toneintercept with "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service or is disconnected..." How can a not-in-service number originate a call? Or more likely, why does Cox's computer not reject calls coming into Cox's system that have an invalid caller ID? Cox talks a lot about internet spam filtering; why don't we have telephone filtering as well?6Views0likes0Comments
Android Software Privacy
Like all Cox customer's I was offered the Security Suite including online back up with mobile sync. In reading what settings the Android program uses it includes access to or the ability to modify a number of aspects of control like shutdown, etc. but also Your social information read your contacts modify your contacts Why? Cox is unlikely to have written the program but got something "Off the shelf." butCox can tell any developers that they have to respect Cox customer's privacy if they want Cox to offer their software to Cox customers. I guess this fall under a philosophical not technical question. Slippery slope and all. Thanks for listening.3.6KViews0likes1Comment
