I got a phone call from an 8xx area code and the Caller ID said COX.  They were trying to claim they had a deal for me asking me if I stream or work from home etc...  when I told them I was happy with my existing service, they asked me to verify my COX pin number - that's when I hung up.   They did know my name and did the "This call may be recorded for training purposes" claim at the start of the call.  Felt very scammy and their english was very poor.
