I received calls a few times from 888-892-2253. Simple solution: Logged into my Verizon wireless account & added this number to my blocked numbers list...****..no more calls. I am not wasting my time calling thme & asking to be removed from their list. You should have this service with your wireless service provider...just block it. Problem solved. Bye.

1-888-892-2253 or 888-TWCABLE is a scam.This company did not call me, however, their phone number did appear in my billing statement for an unauthorized transaction of $485. I don't recall subscribing to their services or even receiving anything from them. I didn't even know this company existed!Somehow they obtained my credit card information and made that large transaction.I filed a dispute a***nst them in my bank, and they are currently under investigation.Hopefully they get caught!
(888) 892-2253 - October 21st, 2010 4:00am
The call seems to be placed every 7 days; I did not take the call but would not anymore, since I now read that its from TWC itself (funny why they want to derate themselves).
(888) 892-2253 - October 16th, 2010 12:37am

(888) 892-2253 - July 15th, 2010 9:02pm
I receive 2- 3 calls per month from this number. They never leave a message. I'm a TWC customer, but my number is on the Do Not Call list.
(888) 892-2253 - June 17th, 2010 3:15am
they just dial then **** up. I actually subscribe to Time Warner for my TV and Internet but I DO NOT answer unsubscribed calls to my cell phone, which is a differnet service. sooooo, I will be sending Time Warner a complaint....they should at least LEAVE a message, saying...something....unless another fraud person is hacking through time warners number?? how would we the unsuspecting subscriber know? which I will pose as a question to them. If the message even said so****ing dumb like,....hey check out our bundle service, or it SHOULD list the name...I dont get Time Warner not showing the subcriber name? I might have actually Picked up the call....
(888) 892-2253 - May 7th, 2010 4:00am
yep it's time warner - 3 calls in less then 5 mins and no message - called it back and talk to customer service and she said well I don't know why they're call there are not notes on your account - well nooooo kidding - bill is paid on time every month........let alone I had to freakin press 1 to get ENGLISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOL......sad in our own ENGLISH speaking country we have to dial a number to talk to someone in ENGLISHHHHHHHHH!! got the point?

Time Warner Cable is a total SCAM!My monthly bill with them at my old address was over $244 per month for internet & cable, because I was taking care of the bill for myself & my roommates.That did not even include phone service! Two ***dred Forty Four Dollars a MONTH!When I moved to a new house, I had to wait for about 2 weeks for a Time Warner installer to come out to install the service at my new address, finally to get it installed and up-and-running. 2 days later, my service got shut off due to a minor delinquency that carried over from the previous address. But they totally closed my accoun***hey did not warn me that they would do this, or I wouldn't of taken a day off of work to have the installer come out to transfer the service in the first place!In other words, the woman told me that even if I paid off the past due amount, she would still not be able to reinstate my service.So, to summarize, Time Warner Cable (of whom I have been a customer with for over 1 year now), sent an installer out to drill holes in my wall last Thursday. (Today is Sa****ay.) And then they went and CLOSED MY ACCOUNT without any warning two days later (Today).Why would I waste my time (or money) with these idiots anymore?The LOWEST s***d internet that Verizon offers through fiber optic internet in my neighborhood (North Hills, CA) is FASTER than than the "FASTEST" top-of-the-line internet that Time Warner has to offer. Also, I hear from friends who have Verizon FiOS TV that their TV service is light-years beyond anything that Time Warner or Satellite has to offer.TIME WARNER CABLE IS FOR SISSIES. Go Verizon.This is written by a true disgruntled FORMER Time Warner customer.

I have received several calls from this number on my cell phone, once on a weekday at about 2 pm, twice at about 7 pm. Time Warner Cable has this as my "home" number. I have them for cable Internet only. The caller identifies herself by full name and "Time Warner", at which point I dismiss her with one sentence. TW sends me ads which I read and toss, but calls like this just cost me money so I trash them ASAP.
(888) 892-2253 - October 9th, 2009 4:00am
This number isn't the ACTUAL Time Warner...it's a spam company that posses as Time Warner. I have Time Warner (and LOVE it) and the apartments I live in has a guy that does all of cable/internet/phone work for the tenants. He says that it's a spam company that will pose as different companies depending on the area they're calling.
(888) 892-2253 - October 1st, 2009 4:00am
Funny, I work for Time Warner and I get the calls too.

They keep calling me and won't let up! I'm so mad at them!
(888) 892-2253 - September 9th, 2008 4:00am
It's Time Warner Cable. I have been receiving these calls practically once every other day for the past month or so, and finally picked up just to tell them not to call me a***n. They were trying to sell me their cable and phone package, and I had to say "No" about 5 times before the guy finally just ***g up.
(888) 892-2253 - August 29th, 2008 4:00am
been calling everyday for the last month
(888) 892-2253 - August 27th, 2008 9:47pm
The message was only a half message! No idea what the deal is... but it was Time Warner.
(888) 892-2253 - August 27th, 2008 12:52am
Called me twice today. Once at 4:00pm, then a***n at 8:51pm.
(888) 892-2253 - August 23rd, 2008 4:38pm
calls a few times each day.
(888) 892-2253 - August 20th, 2008 8:24pm
They call with the ID showing "City of Rialto." They call all the time under Time Warner, too.
(888) 892-2253 - August 19th, 2008 9:03pm
incessant calling, at once per week
(888) 892-2253 - August 19th, 2008 4:00am
They've tried calling several times. Why do I need to be bothered by you constantly?
(888) 892-2253 - August 14th, 2008 4:00am
I also have gotten calls from this telephone number everday for the last month and did this online search. Now that I know it is time warner calling I will definitely not pick up the phone. I have also gotten 1-2 mailers a week about c****ing my home phone service to their company. I agree that they are probably trying to get me to switch to their service when I already have the cable and internet with them. I will definitely not talk to them since another person said that the do not call list with them is not being utilized.
(888) 892-2253 - August 13th, 2008 4:00am
They call to try to sell me their latest package deal, which includes home telephone service. I don't even have a home phone, nor do I want one. I keep telling them the same thing over and over, but they keep calling. I'm not sure what they think it will accomplish other than wasting their own time and money. Not the brightest sales strategy, to annoy the***** out of their own paying customers.
(888) 892-2253 - August 12th, 2008 4:00am
I think time warner cable is the best service provider ever!!!!
(888) 892-2253 - August 7th, 2008 4:00am
They've done it to me as well. Really annoying as I am already on the "Do Not Call" list.Time Warner is awful when it comes to customer service.
(888) 892-2253 - June 18th, 2008 9:18pm
This is the 2nd time today they have called when I already told them I don't watch television and it's a huge waste of time. Well, they called me a***n 3 hours later.
(888) 892-2253 - May 9th, 2008 9:52am
tried to sell me cable tv
(888) 892-2253 - April 22nd, 2008 4:00am
I received 15 calls from this phone number within the past month. I had no idea where these calls were coming from until I did a search online. I finally called TW Cable - According to them, they would only call to confirm an appointment or to bring your attention to a delinquent account. My account history shows that I did not have an appointment, nor did I have a delinquent account. You can ask to be put on their "Do Not Call" list - This SHOULD stop the phone calls!
(888) 892-2253 - March 11th, 2008 6:34pm
Rec'd call on 3-11-08 @ 1:38 pm PDT. No message left. The day before, got same call at 1:36 pm. No message left.
