i have been receiving calls from this number weekly for over a year. i called back one time and asked the name of the company and was told "Best Carpet Cleaning" and when I said that I was on the Do Not Call Registry they hung up on me. I have filed several complaints with the FTC and this appears to be fruitless.
This is the second time I have caught them calling me when I was at home sick from work. The rest of the time, they get my ans machine, which is so annoying because there's no way to get removed when it's a message, and I have a message every couple days. But, apparently, it's impossible to get them to stop anyhow. I have unplugged my ans machine - 4 months ago now. I pushed the button to talk to someone both times I caught them calling when I was home. Each time, they say it's Best Carpet (only when I ask the co name) and offer a deal on carpet cleaning. Each time, they hang up hard and fast as soon as they detect I am miffed about the calling. I told them the first time that I was on the national no call list. The words "National No Call List" hadn't completely left my lips when she hung up. They won't give me a number, and theirs is hidden from my caller ID. Even *69 won't work. These guys are as unethical as they can get. I have reported to the FCC, but with no phone number, I don'tknow how far that goes. I hope they put them all together and work it out, or enough people make reports WITH ph numbers.
Clearly, Best Carpet is a cover name because there are tons of Best Carpet this and Best Carpet that in the phone book.
i own a phone company and i've been getting these calls too. i checked who the carrier for (800) 376-1983 is and it is ATT whose 'resporg ID' is AWMM1 with a contact number of 877-973-7767. i pressed option 2 which is also 800-580-6576. by federal law, misuse of a toll-free number is a violation of federal law and of AT&T's terms of use. ATT MUST advise whichever customer has that number that they are violating ATT rules.
contact ATT and demand that they comply with the law.
They must be calling from the "DO NOT CALL LIST". They have been calling for a long time and they call on all of my lines. I have made appointments to fictitious addresses. I am glad there is a record here. Maybe there are some legitimate carpet cleaners that have been approached by the referral service that could help track them down. I was concerned that pressing 1 or 8 when they call would trigger a charge on my telephone bill. It hasn't.
an recorded voice asked if want to be removed from the list or a carpet cleaning. I selected carpet cleaning so i could tell the manager to remove me from the list. when a person answered, i said i was going to report them and the woman hung up.
I received a call from the same outfit with the prerecorded message saying it was Allison...- but at the 8185551000 number on the caller ID. So I did some sleuthing and found all this information, which is Fabulous.! All those phone numbers- so I entered all those numbers in my Skype account and did a conference call on them. Same person answers at all the numbers. It is easier than dialing one at a time- so if you have a Skype account (go to Skype.com for free download) you can multiple call them as well! I think that I will do that from now on for any of those telemarketers who call me when I am on the do not call registry!
