Called my unlisted, non-published land line at 12:15 pm CST on 12/31/2012. Caller ID listed only the number and "FLORIDA". Typical pre-recorded message, asking me to press numbers to speak to an "account representative" or to be removed. It never works. The numbers just disappear and pop up again in a slight variation or another area code. Being on the National Do Not Call registry is irrelevant to the people behind these types of telemarketing scams. I reported the call to both the FTC at
I encourage everyone to do the same. Enough complaints, filed quickly, for the same offending number appears to be the only thing that can stop these people. The FTC has, in the past, levied some pretty stiff fines against those that they have been able to nail.
I got a call from the number on 12 31 Aa 227PM. I did not answer .it just said Florida. I never answer and they never leave a message on my answering machine.
