I used google to find a phone number to pay a Spectrum bill online. The 3rd site listed on this mobile search is telecompanybill.us and when I clicked on that it had a Spectrum logo that says Spectrum Authorized Reseller and then says "Call to Pay Your Bill Now. I called the number listed +1(833) 221-5516 and was connected to an agent who stated that I owed $35.12 which seemed a little funny because I believe my bill was $36.11 but he said that there automatic payment service was down and that if I provide my credit card number and make a one-time payment of $80.00 they would forgive the amount owed and give me two free months of service. When I attempted to pay the payment was blocked by my credit card company and after speaking with the fraud department at the credit card company my card was deactivated and they are sending me a new card. I called the real Spectrum and reported the event to their fraud department and they confirmed that they have no affiliation with "Spectrum Authorized Reseller," or the associated phone number. They also were not running any such promotion or sale, which the fraudulent agency called, "Sync Escapes."
