Phone Call from Disney

[CandleontheWater]

We had a similar call a couple of weeks ago- scam all the way! Disney is not going to call you to tell you that you have a PIN attached to your name. Its not their style to go out of their way to collect less money from guests.

Not exactly. Its my understanding that if you have a prior relationship they can "robo" call you.

wait, Robo is calling people?!

what an insightful answer. thank you so much for sharing.

What a very rude answer.


We have been getting "robo" called at my place of business all week, numerous times a day. They seem to be set up just like the one the OP is describing but these are boasting they they can save us 90% on dental insurance. They say press 1 to speak to a rep, 9 to be removed from their list. Pressing 9 simply disconnects you, pressing 1 gives you the option to leave a message. Anything else you press will disconnect you.

Sorry OP, but it sounds like a scam. I agree with PP. Call Disney directly and ask them about it. If nothing else, at least Disney will become aware that people are using their name in scam calls.

Robo calling is illegal...

I think Robo can call anyone he wants to.

I've gotten the dental one 7 times in a 8 hour shift. Every single time I asked to be removed. The calls stopped for a while and then a few weeks later they started using another number.

This definitely isn't legal because they called the work cell phone...which no one uses and a select few know the number for.

Im a receptionist and I hang up on every single automatic call. If its important enough, they should have a person talking to me and not "this is your captain speaking" automated BS.

Thankfully OP didn't press 1 and get scammed into something awful!

I am so glad I was not the only person who immediately thought of Robo...

Speaking of pin codes attached to your name
Would I still get them attach to me even though I am a passholder?
