Same here. I Googled TMC, found their email, and contacted them to say that since I can't speak to anyone (hang-ups and busy signals, I would be reporting them as being in violation of the Do Not Call Act and if it continued, I would look into filing a complaint with the FCC for unsolicited phone calls bordering on harassment. Don't know what good it'll do, but it's worth a try...
I get calls from this company "TMC" a lot. I usually hang when I get the dead air but this time I decided to wait, after about 30 sec. a girl came on and asked for me by name, when I told her to remove me from their call list and that I have no connections with your company and I am on a Federal Do Not Call list and you are illegally calling me, if you don't stop I will report you to the Atty. General. Her reply was I don't care who you report me to because it will not affect my pay check and I can't remove you from our call list and she hung up.
What can I do? To report to the Atty. Gen. takes a lot of time and effort...it's not easy for the consumer.
I tried calling the TMC company that someone posted on a similar site:
http://www.tmcnet.com/tmcnet/abouttmc.htm
But the receptionist said the 219 # was not affiliated with them.. she also said they get several calls a day related to the 219 number.
And based on a search of area codes (see link below or use a phone book), I'm inclined to believe her since 219 area code is for CT & the TMC number is area code 203 which is Gary, IN.

I filed a complaint via the federal DoNotCall.gov website.
Every time I've tried calling the 219-230-3807 # back, I get a fax machine.
Tried to fax a 'do not call' note to 219-230-3807, but apparently my VoIP line doesn't handle my computer's FaxModem properly, just gets various errors.
Could be a machine designed to just find out what times of the day you answer your phone. Then whoever owns the machine goes to their telemarketing customers and says here is a list of phone numbers with the time of day you are most likely to get live body on the other end.
