Listed on the "Do not call" registry - received a phone call from this number on my cell phone. When I picked up, it was a recording of "Diane" offering to clean my carpets. I pressed "1" to make an appointment. I was directed to a man with a very thick Middle Eastern accent who spent time repeating that the company was "Carpet Care" (and not Carpet Cure, which is what I understood it to be at first - due to his accent). He then asked if I wanted to make an appointment and I instead asked him why he was calling this number since my number is on the do not call registry. - he then hung up -
PLEASE report it to donotcall.gov, you don't need all the numbers. It's up to them to figure out how they are making the calls. It's a computer who just tries random combinations of numbers. Obviously with cell phones being digital, rather than analog, there is some loop hole that allows shorter numbers to go through (similar to how you can send text messages to 5 or 6 digit numbers). The only way to stop it is if everyone here reported it and the company got hit with steep fines (it'd easily be over 30k just with those on this site).
just called me, I have a 201 area code, cell phone. I was able to submit a complaint online with the Do Not Call registry, even though the number was 6 digits, I encourage all to do the same please!
