Something about Vacations. Beachcomber? Same Indian woman that has called MANY times on different numbers. Was Phoenix International. Some type of appointment setting. This woman has absolutely no concept about the Do Not Call list. She always argues, saying it is the first time she called. WRONG. We don't really get that many telemarketing calls and only ONE of them is the same Indian woman voice and always about "vacations". This has been ongoing well over a year now. Google "Perfect Netowrk" (I think that is an intentional typo on their part). Eventually you will find a name that links to Abu Dhabi. Gee that was a big surprise when I found it. NOT!
A call from these jerks came in at 11:20 this morning.
I did not pick up.
No message was left.
I was just harassed a few days back by relentless calls coming from some company in the Philippines.
I am on the Do Not Call list..
(For all the good it does these days!)
I reported it on the DNC registry's website.
Can these calls be blocked??
Any suggestions or solutions would be most welcome.
I received a call from 213-710-8188 today at 6:02pm CST, Sunday, 1-31-2010. The caller ID labeled it as CORECOMM GRP. I didn't recognize the company so did not pick it up. They did not leave a voice msg. I am on a do-not-call list. After reading the above posts, I am glad I didn't bother to pick it up. The AnyWho reverse lookup didn't find that number, but the WhitePages reverse lookup says it is an unpublished number in Compton, CA. 411.com confirms that it is a land line provided by Digitcom Services in Compton, CA.
I called them back at 7:40pm, thinking I would ask who they are and to please not call again as I my number is registered on the do-not-call list. All I got was a voice recording of a young english speaking female saying something like "Thank you for calling back. If you are not interested in receiving calls regarding our special promotions, please press 1......". I just hung up. If they continue to call I may press 1 to see if they actually do respect that action. Otherwise, here is a thought: We could answer, and feign intent interest in whatever they are selling, but make up a fake credit card number and when it doesn't go through, insist that it is correct and they need to check their system. Basically engage their labor as long as possible, with no fruitful result for them in the end. By just not answering or hanging up they can keep calling others, but if their time is squandered with bogus customers, then maybe they will out of necessity go out of business. :-)
Call your congressional and state representatives... do not stop until they do their jobs and protect us. These foreigners have your personal information.
