PLEASE keep us updated on your idea of penalties against American telephone carriers. Please instruct all of us on what you believe we should be doing NOW. Something would have to be passed in order for us to follow-up with the police department, with them then issuing citations/heavy fines to the phone companies, etc.
Keep us posted on your results and what you think our next steps should be.
I just got a call from this number. No caller ID, but I presume that it's from the same Local Utility Company that keeps calling my house. Why do these PRICKS keep calling? These types of calls have gotta stop!!!!!!!
It's not utility company, but an Indian scam artist trying to get money out of older people who are not PC savvy, by calling them up and telling them that their computer is spreading a virus on the internet.
They are accessing your phone number to make a call from it to hide their point of origin.
They are calling from India, or some country nearby, or also a country in the Indian Ocean or Atlantic Ocean area.
I was called on 9/25/2014 twice and convincing messages were left about a "one time Tax Amnesty program" and that I could call back to speak with an agent or "press 3 to allow collection efforts to begin." Who would do that? Somehow, they must know, or presume that I have a tax bill, but why wouldn't I be notified by mail, with proper references and why do they have to use illegal extortion tactics? If there were an Amnesty Program, it seems like the IRS should be required to disclose it. I can't imagine any legitimate company intimidating you into calling them back to start an amnesty program in lieu of a horrible alternative. It doesn't make sense. This is no substitute for Due Process.
