This one is going to be thorny to shut down, but I've a plan. First, here's the ID detail.
The people calling work for a company, but aren't representing it. They are using their physical access to the facility to commit outright credit card crimes. This isn't a shady marketer or such. These are NJ crackheads calling to get your credit card number and nothing more. In some cases, they have simply hung up after getting a sucker's CC number. Bottom line, this isn't a Do Not Call violation, or such. It's outright fraud/theft. Report it to the local police authorities. They conveniently provide email contact at
[email protected]. They're rude and abusive and hang up because they're outright criminals. If it seemed a bit much, well, it is. Oh, they pick Dish TV as their scam because they have the most fined telemarketers on record, plus they actually do call for them, so it seems to them something that people will believe is actually telemarketing, instead of crime.
The company whose facilites they are using is Omnipoint Communications Incorporated. Their main office is at 60 Newark Pompton Tpke Wayne, NJ 07470. But Omnipoint is all over the place, a Delaware corporation registered as a foreign entity in NJ, based in NY. But they are actually owned by T-Mobile, based, in Washington State. In the US, that is. They're a multinational with offices in the US, based in Washington. Anyway, there have been a number of lawsuits about the placing of those satellite towers, brought against Omnipoint by municipalities. There's a pretty good body of case law that T-Mobile is civilally responsible for the actions of locals in the employ of Omnipoint. There's a standard legal contact there that handles such issues. I think the right approach is to formally- that means in writing and to the address for legal service as well- notify him of the criminal actions of Omnipoint employees, and let him know that he will be held civilally liable for any damages and fines. Given the volume of calls/complaints, T-Mobile's continuing to provide a premises/hardware for the rogues' criminal activities is actionable He has email too. His contact info is:

ROBERT DOTSON is basically the COO, I believe, though it's easy to research their corporate structure for what you think it would be worth.
Oh, the number the crooks use for their "real business phone" is 201-257-4801. If they're toked up and you call with the right scam of your own, you might get them to reveal something of their ID that Omnipoint can use to finger them. As if they don't know already. At least you'll have a chance to yell obscenities at them before they do at you. If you have ANY doubt about my characterization, call and say, "Hello, I'm Joe Smith of the Boise office of the FCC, and...", and you'll hear, "Yeah, F*ck You", and he hangs up. That's not an ambitious telemarketer. Hacking their internal PBX reveals that he has recorded his name on the extension as "Richard Cranium". Truth for once! Yes, dude, you are [***].
