[comp.dcom.telecom] Another "Award" Call

cmoore@brl.mil (VLD/VMB) (09/27/90)

Does anyone know where 904-492 is?  (Yes, I know it's somewhere in
northern Florida.)  I just got, on my office phone, a so-called award
notification call, was given (in a RECORDED message) a two-character
"claim number", and was told to call 904-492-0001 during the next 24
hours.  Supposedly, "they" were trying to reach me and were having
problems.  How would "they" get my office number?  That's on 301-278
and I do not think 301-278 has any residences on it.

This is easy to find out.  Just call "the operator" (to be safe, dial
102880) and say "I need name-place for 904-492."  They will tell you
what town it is.

If your local operator seems confused, say "I need AT&T Inward, Route
& Rates operator to tell me the place name for 904-492."  Works every
time.
