Personal Information Scam
Complaint

Country: United States
Identified himself as being from AT&T, knew most of my address, but it was incorrect, then asked for my DOB and permission to change long-distance to a third party. When I refused to give DOB and asked for a 1-800 to call him back he hung up.
Comments
FCC, FTC, and state AGs stamped out most of it years ago, and the TCPA/Do Not Call laws killed any remaining legitimate telecom telemarketing.
If your carrier is ATT, you might contact them to report the attempted fraud.
Some carriers allow you to place a block on changes, including blocking thrid party cramming.
