(402) 694-3656

I just about fell for this scam.  Lawerence Randle sent me an email concerning with placing an order for 150 chicken salads to be picked up from our restaurant.  He also used the hearing impaired relay ****od saying he just had surgery and was in the hospital, so he couldnt personally pick it up.  After he sent the info for the "carrier" in email; I looked it up.  Thank god i did!  Thank you to everyone for getting the word out.  Let's hope the FBI can stop it before someone gets hurt.

There was a scam order  just placed with us for Pizzas phone # 402 694-3656 be aware of this caller using AT&T TTY service. The party wanted cash back from a credit card to pay for a delivery service who was going to pick up the order.Come on do you think were ******.

This also just happened to me this evening.  I am a restaurant owner and they used the name Mary Jane - even sent me an email!   Same scam - send the money to Deb Wakeland at 1221 Colleen St in Helena, MT for the delivery (or picker service as she used) fee of $975!  And she wanted to order 100 chicken salds from me!  What a sleeze bag!

Dealing with the same david bills here in dallas. He says he wants 100 grilled chicken salad for his mother's birthday. He's tried over the phone multiple times over the past 6 months and, when the western union deal came up I figured it was a scam. He asked to bill extra and send money to his "carrier" through Western Union. Recently he's tried through e-mail so I thought I'd see what info I could get out of him. I wonder what would happen if I charged his card? This is apparently the "carrier's" information:Name... Deb WakelandAddress... 1221 Colleen Street, Helena, MT 59601and here's his card info:Master CardName on Card... David BillsCard Number ... 5466160044300612Exp date ... 02/2013Hopefully that will help someone find out more about this scam.

Same thing happened to me today and he wanted me to add an additions $780 onto his bill for the "carrier service" and send it to them Western Union. Complete scam!

Guy calls via relay call saying he wants 100 of our chicken salad. Chicken Salad wraps i'm guessing he wants. Kind of fishy (and annoying b/c the call takes forever). Ask if we can communicate over email. He wants to give me his credit card and a carrier will pick up the order two weeks later (in march). I googled his name and hearing impaired and found this site. Thanks ***ps, so now i know he's a fake, but we're playing along with his game and i'm waiting to hear back about his cc # and where to send the carrier $$ to.  Emails are a bit of broken English and he said in one email that he needs the order for Feb 10th (hi, it's march today).  I wish i knew what number he had called from so i could help others out.  Hope this will prevent anyone from getting scammed.  Makes me sick.  he signs "Stay Blessed" at the end of each email.  ****.

yes, im glad u noticed the scam before acting on it. I worked for hamitlon relay and the service is a legitimate service. Just some people abuse this. I can't tell you how many calls as an operator that i had to process for these guys knowing it was a scam and not being able to do a thing about it. it ****ed. I'm just glad you noticed before you made a huge mistake. Well done.

i worked for hamilton relay for over 3 years. No, the actual calls themselves are not scams. And they cost absolutely nothing. It's a free service provided either by tty for the deaf of from the Hamilton relay website www.hamiltonrelay.com. Some people abuse the service, if you are a restaurant, i have processed many calls for scammers trying to scam restaurants. I have also dealt with a lot of PRANK phone calls. Just never give your credit card number and when they ask for a favor just **** up. Just remember its not the operator making the call. He or she is just reading verbatim(word for word) what the customer on the tty or the customer on the internet is typing. So like i said dont blame the operator. And if you tell them not to call, and they call back, its not the operators fault. If the customer tells the opr to redial they must do so. Just ask the operator to talk to the supervisor and tell them you are suspecting fraud. It usually gets the customer to **** up on fear of being caught when they see the words scam or fraud on their screen. But a***n, Hamilton Relay is not a scam. It's a legitimate service for the deaf, with just a few *****s(scammers) in the system.

i just wanted everyone to know that the same thing happened to me yes****ay.  a person by the name of David Bills who also used a relay operator claiming they were hearing impaired called my restaurant wanting to place a large pick up order and that he would pay with his card over the phone. however, we don't take card numbers over the phone.  feeling su****ious, i called other local restaurant owners i'm friends with and they said they received the same calls!  business owners beware!  it's some sort of scam.

2 calls this morning, I was on the phone and did not switch over to take the call, but checked the # and see all the comments here.  Thanks, I will not answer calls from this #.  Just read about this scam yes****ay in a online  trade discussion site.

Hamilton Relay is a company that relays calls for people who are ***** or hard of hearing. They also have a website where people can make their calls from online without using a TTY ma****e. Unfortunaly anyone can access the website. There are people that use it to scam people. If you get a call from this number, don't blame the operator. They're just doing their job. If the person online suggests so****ing to the extent of wanting to scan a credit card right away and adding additional funds for another party. **** up! It's a scam.

I just received a call from this number with caller ID of Hamilton Relay.I looked them up on the internet and found the company.  I just called them and left a complaint.  I am also going to file a complaint with the FBI.  My call was a bit different.  I have a food business and the call was telling me that someone named David Bills wanted to place an order.  It took forever!It was as if he couldn't type.  A simple*****o took 4 minutes.  So finally after being patient for a half hour, he asked for the food to be picked up and for me to include $1000.00 with the order and he would pay me by money order.  BINGO!  My heart sank at the idea that someone would use "hearing impared" to try and cheat me.  What the heck is happening to people!!!  I am really hurt and ****ed off!  I work with the hearing impaired and other groups who need****istance and it really is low and ***** that someone would do this!  I am going to take this as far as I can take it!  Someone has to stop this ****!!! Maybe the FBT can!

This is a very sad abuse of pretending to be a "relay service for the deaf"!! But the irony for this case is I AM DEAF and I received these calls, too!! If anybody who had known me would know not to use the relay service to contact me. I am glad that I typed the number on the Google and googled it and came upon this site! But I do hope that any police service or FBI catches these persons pretending to be a "relay service"! It hurts the hearing impaired world who need to use the service. Especially for those customers wants to buy a puppy from a legimate seller so if seller gets a lot of those such calls then how would they know a real one from the fake one?!

I got a call from a Hillary Jones (deaf or hard of hearing) from a Kelvin Merchandise Parts Inc. suposedly in Chicago, IL asking for Cat & Toyota Forklift parts. She asked for my email address to email me a parts quote which she did. I had to ask multiple times for a physical address in order to quote shipping costs for this parts quote. I am affraid it is a scam, as we have been scammed through this system before. I can only hope & pray that people are not abusing this system for the handicap, but sadly there are lowlifes out there who do not care. I can only hope that I am wrong.

I got two calls from this number today, and in them they were complementing me and then asking me why I had ***g up the first time. When I told the woman who was the "relay person" that i wanted her to type who are you please leave me alone, she said that we didn't have to take these calls. Then after I had ***g up, they called my friend and were saying things like "where is she? I know you are with her. you two look so cute together" and they person knew where my dorm was and that they wanted to meet me.. It was extremely creepy. I think that it is a legitimate service, I just think that creeps are abusing it! Watch out for these calls!

must be a coinky **** cause i got a call about my puppies also, they gave me an email address and well kept coming back as failure to deliver. said the lady was deaf and needed to use this service but am unsure now that ive read this.

Some one called me around 245 and than at 305 both times claiming to be my mom from beyong the grave

Caller called wanting to place an order with us thru this relay service. then have us over charge the credit card and to mail extra amount to a 3rd party to cover pick up charges. Wanted us to over charge the card by $800. Total scam, don't fall for it, new way for people to rip you off anonymously.

This is a service for people who are deaf or have problems hearing. Someone sends you a message and then a real live person relays the message to you. You can then respond to them as well.

Received 2 calls @ 11:30 p.m.  they left no messages.

I got this same "scam" they keep calling about my puppies for sale and wanted me to ship them one and I would have to cash a money order and send the rest to the shipping company. Yeah right!!! It must be a pretty popular scam b/c they keep calling and I keep ****ing up.  Apparently they send you a fake money order and by the time you cash it and the bank realizes it, it is too late and you are responsible for the cash you just mailed out.  Some people are s***.

I work at a Community Center for the hearing Impaired and many of our clients have also complained about this number.

umm ya i agree.. i dont have any information on it but the number randomy called me and i was wondering who it was so i googled the number.  sorta creepy.

Got a call from this number they said hard of hearing person or internet call was on the other end. Anyway they wanted info about my puppies for sale. Even gave me an email address to contact. Probably a scam.

okay the number called me like five minutes ago saying that there coming for me and that they are wat****g me. So i ***g up because I got scared and we called them back this time trying to see who they were. So we called back and asked and they said that they were communicating for the hard of hearing people...so i ***g up because i dont know anyone who is hard of hearing and that would ever contact me for any reason. Then my friends phone rings with the exact same number and we answered, but then thought it was a bad idea, so we ***g up. What is this?? Should we be scaredd?

We are a small newspaper office and received 3 calls in a row from this number. Do NOT take them. They are a scam. First two calls were very fishy, called back the third time and immediately said the caller ***g up. Being a small business, we get this a lot. Just be advised everyone!

yea someone called me from the number and i had no clue wat the area code was friikkin ne***ska i dont kno anyone from there so it was jus creepy

Don't know who this is, they called at 7:22PM on Sunday, I didn't answer, they didn't leave a message, got home, googled the phone # 4026***656, found this page, left this post.

yeah i just got 2 calls from that number and im only 13... i didnt pick up because i had no clue who it was... it was at 12:34 and 12:26 at night... and they called me before but i just ***g up the phone... but why would they call 3 times???

yeah i got a call at 12:30 in the morning and i didnt pick it uop but they called back and i listened to it and ***g up and then they called back a***n and said my full name and dont **** up we do not have the wrong number.  and they said that the person on the other end said   i love you dont you love me.    i was getting ****ed and if i get one more call from them im calling the police.

I got two calls from this number today. The first time i missed the call, so i called them back and when the relay operator told me who she was, i told her i don't know anyone under those cir***stances and that it must have been a wrong number. That same number called me back a***n just now, and i told her to please not call back because i don't know who would be calling me through her. Does anyone know if these phone calls are any outrageous amount on the phone bill? because then ill be mad.

same thing!

A girl called me a 10:30 PM telling me I had a caller trying to contact me and she was with a hard of hearing company that will ?type? to them so they understand and she will ask me the questions or w/e they want. I immidiatly ***g up, sounds like a scam.

someone called me claiming to be from a hard of hearing help line and a girl called shantel was asking to speak to me but she wouldnt give me her last name or where she knew me frmo, only that she was from cali. i felt like this would be a scam cus she said "enough about me, lets talk more about you" so i have a feeling its some kinda scam to get some private info on people. i dont know. anyone have a similar call?
