I got a call, and when I pressed 1 to speak to a live agent, I asked what company was this, and they hung up. I tried calling back spoofed number, and just dead air. So I googled it and found this site. I called back the 888 number above, and they kept hanging up on me too when pressed for company name, etc. Then when I asked why they were calling me when I was on the donotcall list they hung up. I kept calling back to ask them why they kept hanging up on me. (*It's there money they're throwing away, they pay for the call)
Finally talked to someone and they said the supervisor asked for my number so they could take it off the list. I told her it's already on the do not call list, and then told her they were stupid to keep hanging up on me since they are paying for the call.
I also reported them to donotcall.gov EVERYONE REPORT THEM.
Just dead air. It keeps calling back and when I pick up, dead air. It appears to be a machine that does not recognize that it has connected to a person and hangs up. Unfortunatly, there are those who give companies business when contacted this way otherwise they would not do it.
Recorded message from "Alison's Carpet Cleaning". With the first call (3/14/07) I spoke to a polite person and requested to be removed from their list. I got a second call (3/23/07) and spoke with a person at "Best Carpet" who was rude and hung up on me. The third call (4/28/07) I pressed the option number to be removed from their list. I just received the fourth call (5/12/07) and reported them on donotcall.gov since my number has been on that list for a year. Don't wait until the fourth call like I did. Report them with the first call.
I have done some investigating and I’ve compiled all the info I have come up with. This is as of 5/19/2007. I’m posting this on all the sites that are related to this company.
Company Names They Use: AAA Carpet Care, Allison Carpet Care, Best Carpet Cleaners, Best Carpet Care, On-Time Carpet Cleaning, Pro-Carpet Cleaning and Infinity Carpet Care.
How They Operate: They are probably a carpet-cleaning referral service and they earn commissions by finding clients and then referring a local carpet cleaner to their home. Likely, they have a VOIP service which allows them to spoof a number different from their own so the number that pops up on your caller-ID is not really their number and it’s useless to call back that number.

I have received several calls from this company as well.
Today, I checked caller ID and didn't bother to answer.
I have asked them to remove me from their list as well, but they keep calling.
I posted a complaint on donotcall.gov
