I initially received a call from this number on 06/12/2010 at about 8pm, and some guy with a very thick accent began talking and I automatically told him I wasn't interested. The same guy then called right back with a blocked number and once again I said I was not interested. Once again he calls today and tells me I was selected through my VIsa or Mastercard to receive $200 gas gift card. All I had to do was give him my account number....huh??? well since I was selected through my card shouldn't this mysterious "company" already have my info?? Doesn't make sense. Then when I say "NO" he begins having attitude. I wouldn't trust this. I swear if he calls agian I'm gonna tell him off.
When I don't recognize a telephone number, I don't say anything when I answer. This person kept saying, "hello" so I knew I did not know them. I hang up. Then I block that number on my cell. Best aproach.
Called 10 times yesterday and 3 times already this morning even after I told them to put me on their do not call list. "Wayne" was the callers name (supposedly) although he had a marked accent. His supervisor is Mark. I told them I was now charging them 500 dollars per call placed to my number and that I would sue to recover damages. We'll see if that stops it.
I just called the carrier for this phone number to complain. The carrier for that cell phone number is DIGITCOM SERVICES customer support 888-421-4999. I spoke with Abraham. I told him how many calls I've received even though I told them to put me on their do not call list and that I was pursuing legal action against the marketing company that was using their phone number and that as a carrier his company was potentially liable as well. He was very nice and said that they would be taking action. Anyhow if everyone did the same thing this harassment might stop.
I just filed a formal complaint with the FTC for this number. I'llpost back to let everyone know what happens. Here is the url for the FTC complaint form: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
