Who is giving out our phone numbers?

quantumleap · Feb 7, 2006

Usually when I am forced to give out a phone number I put in a fake one. One exception was for neteller. I have since changed my number so I know the tout phone calls are not coming from the number I gave to them.

I checked all my personal info given to the sportsbooks where I have an account. I found only one where I put in my real phone number by mistake so it must be that book that is giving out our phone numbers.

I will give out the name of that book after other people have posted here about their experiences of getting tout calls on their phones. Anyone else?

don't forget that there might be randomly generated phone numbers

I remember I got ONCE a phone call from this guy offering me betting advice........and its a Voice Over IP line that NOONE has and rings in Costa Rica

I just thought it was a coincidence that I gave my real number to a sportsbook and now I'm getting tout calls. I haven't received calls from any other business other than touts.

CRIS is the #1 book, never had a problem.

The only book I have that had my correct phone number is Pinnacle.

So you are saying Pinnacle is responsible?

Anybody get called from " Jack" I think it's the Richcoast guy, now at a new book.

It's the only web site so far that I've found that had my real phone number. This includes all other web sites that I register outside of sports books.

Dammit! I had a hard enough time trying to get out of there without having my clothes torn off. It took me 45 minutes to leave.

90% of the time, the book has nothing to do with it---it's usually former clerks who take them & sell them.

Thanks TT, you could be right. It's the same way with credit card numbers.

What book is Jack from Rich Coast working for?

Doug · Feb 8, 2006

If it's the same Jack, it's USsportsbook.com, I did one of those $100 deals there, but Jack from Richcoast called me before I ever heard of the place, don't know how he good #. They ( both RCS and USsports) were fine with me requesting no calls, sent apology e-mail.

I' ve only gotten about 3 calls in last couple of years, I don't care if they mail or e-mail stuff.

I get lots of spam. But I hear Cris makes lots of cold calls during dinner time.

Labeeb · Feb 8, 2006

Funny that you started this thread. I just got my first ever tout call last night at about 6:30 PM EST for the Duke-UNC game. No caller ID information, nor did I stick around to listen to the recording. Just something about pressing 1 to get connected to whatever boiler room was selling this pick.

Dante · Feb 8, 2006

never ever received a call from a tout and I never ever have given out my phone number to any place

neteller did not require my phone number when I signed up many years ago and im pretty sure they do not have it
