One telescammer is responsible for a substantial volume of calls coming out of Port Angeles, Washington. The numbers most recently used are:
360-460-8637
360-460-2196
360-460-7117
360-460-0742
360-461-4696
306-461-4457
It's a bit complicated; here's the whole story. BTW, I expect they guy that said he'd cut their lines to do it! We researched this for five years!!!
Answernet, Inc had a subsidiary named Contact America Acquisition, LLC, that did business in Port Angles, Washington as on outbound telemarketing corp. They were registered with the Secretary of State to transact business in Washington. They are based in La Jolla, CA. Two years ago they shut down operations there and overnight a company replaced it at the very site they were located, called Call Centers 24x7. Call Centers 24x7 started as Prophetechs Corporation, a registered corp until sale was finalized in July, 2000, and the subsequent business has never been registered with the SOS, received authorization to transact business as a WA corporation, nor filed articles of incorporation.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Contact America Inc, La Jolla, CA, which is itself defunct, but it continues to operate, controlled by Hoy Schuman & Associates Incorporated. Robert L. Schuman is a middle tier, 1/2 million/year telemarketer, with ties to political organizations were he supplies robocall muscle. He's just the kind of spider I'd expect to find sitting in the middle of this little telescam web. All these calls have been traced to a switch that Contact America 24x7 uses to spoof caller ID. It makes a land line call look like a cell call. Technically, it makes it look like they're calling your cell back, so it gets by all checks, ID display, etc.
But Call Centers 24x7 is definitely run by Shane Miller of Port Angeles, WA. He was the one that began the venture as Prophetechs Corporation and continued as Call Centers 24x7 after selling it. For my money, this is the guy to target when you get another of his marketing scams on your cell. Schuman may be benefitting from the whole rotten setup, but it's Miller that is doing the day on day nitty gritty and deciding that you are the one that will be targeted with a call. No doubt he would find laughable the idea that he's personally responsible for the result of an algorithm, but that's exactly what we're hopefully going to do in the future. Miller (b. ~1971) is a local. Miller attended Peninsula College, and later graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Comparative History of Ideas from the University of Washington. He is married to another Port Angeles High School graduate, Coral Barbieri, and they have two children. http://www.portangelesschools.org/parents/images/Shane-Miller-web.jpg . Call Centers 24x7 is successful in 2005, but what did he do for the preceeding 10 years? There's no trace before 2002. Those 40 clients must have been pretty big to float them from 2002 until 2005. And picked them out of the blue! Prophetechs never made a cent. How did Call Centers get the traction? Most interesting, they have such a huge outbound call load, THEY NEEDED NEW TRUNKS!!! That's very exceptional. Those must have really been some major "40 clients". But they don't mention those services on their website? http://www.destinationcrm.com/Articles/Older- ... tual-42955.aspx It's obvious to me that Contact America wanted to go underground and found a phone savvy programmer that was willing to run the operation. The website is a thin cover for what is supposed to be a virtual call center operation and is actually a massive robocall/telescam operation. They have no registration anywhere. Are they even paying taxes?
I know a shell company when I see one. So, where's the money coming from? Surely not from that operation. Here's his own slide show presentation that supposedly explains it. I still don't see how there's any meat there. There are a thousand that do what he describes better and cheaper, though we can only guess at what that might be. They advertise nothing. Where's the sign-up page on their website? Where's a sales cart for you to buy their services? Read it for yourself. http://www.gayloncox.com/samples/contactual2.pdf BTW, notice the guy in the presentation that looks like a prop? Tell me he doesn't look like Bob Shuman. http://media.linkedin.com/mpr/pub/image-uducV ... bob-schuman.jpg Maybe it's a wink-wink nod-nod kind of thing. The telescam insiders will recogize Schuman and think, "Ah...I know what you're offering...". The rest of us are supposed to believe that he's making money off of what he describes that he's doing there.
Most often when you get a 360 area code cell phone scam call, there's one Shane Miller behind it. Here: Spam their Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Call-Centers-24 ... =app_2373072738
