got a bunch of text messages from these people all with different numbers and I traced them back to T-mobile actually. So what I'm going to do is just mass spam them from my email which is not going to cost me anything. You can join in as well, just use this format. [email protected]
201-425-1207 calls my home phone numerous times throughout the, day and just hangs up!! if i call the number back, the automated services is a joke, and hangs up on me to!! this is frustrating!!
It appears this is a loosely-organized organization who "specialize" in all sorts of illegitimate services, and are paid to engage in phishing scams, perform cranks-calls, dial in threats (sometimes death threats - no joke, believe it or not). They also are definitely (somewhat loosely) associated with Intelius, 24Protect Plus, 123privacymatters.com and other (real and bogus) organizations, who are well known to perpetrate internet fraud activites. DO NOT, repeat **DO NOT** do business with Intelius. They WILL sell/give your credit card/bank account info to these phony entities (such as 24Protect Plus), behind your back. They have been sued repeatedly (WA state's Attorney General's Offfice ruled against them to the tune of $1.3 million in 2010), and are under investigation by numerous other AG offices nationwide, and the Federal gov't. If you want to go after these idiots, do this: Contact your state's Attorney General's office, contact the Federal Trade Commission, The Federal Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov), your local BBB chapter, etc. FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THEM ALL. And don't forget, contact your local news/press agencies. Both The Seattle Post-Intellegencer and Seattle Weekly, for instance, have actively gone after Intelius REPEATEDLY, and done very unflattering stories on them. Intelius is starting to go down, and have been losing money in recent times, due to this negative publicity, and the public being educated about them. Organize class-action lawsuits, etc. Just keep the pressure on them. Because Intelius *IS* at the root of these issues - every last one of them. I'm no conspiracy theorist - I know this for a FACT. And the only thing that will stop this garbage is to come down on them hard and keep the pressure on. Organize and FIGHT BACK.

24Protect Plus / 123privacymatters AND MANY MORE.(all sham/bogus companies)
(many phony addresses) many different #'s (use Google - yes, some will get you to a live body - give them hell)
CALL INTELIUS - THEY WILL CONNECT YOU TO THEM (all the while lying of course, but they WILL connect you to someone.)
And a good rule of thumb is to NOT conduct ANY online commerce WHATSOEVER with any entity you are not ENTIRELY comfortable with.
If you haven't heard of them, for instance, DO NOT DO IT. (Amazon.com, and other big names like that are fairly safe naturally).
Internet crime is increasing at an unbelievable, astronomical rate in the last couple years. WATCH YOUR BACK.
