I received a call on my cell phone which surprised me because I have only given that number out to a very few selected people.
I did not recognize the number so I did a Google search for the number and see that it belongs to Gulf Coast Readers who have numberous complaints for harrassing phone calls.
I did locate a website for them (which is very amateurish... even the header says "Untitled Document"... a mistake my 10 year old nephew would not even make) and under the Customer Service tab I found a link for "Join our do not call list". I clicked on the link and got a web page asking me to provide my name, e-mail address and phone number with the notation "Please fill out the form to be added to our Do Not Call list. This process can take up to 30 days."
I completed the form with "None of Your Business" as my name and the FTC e-mail address and my phone number and upon "Submit[ting]" my form I was redirected to a page that said "Thank you for your submission. A member of our staff will be contacting you shortly."
So basically they are collecting more information and then will continue the harrassing phone calls and then send spam to your e-mail.
I have filed complaints with the BBB and the local phone company there.
