Who called from 3604743908

Just recieved a e-mail from the Washington State Attoney General. Here is a paragraphe of the letter I received,

"Unfortunately, unscrupulous telemarketers use a variety of methods to conceal their true identity and location in order to avoid detection. Sometimes, telemarketers obtain telephone numbers that are assigned to certain area codes and assign those numbers to telephone equipment that is not located in that area code. Another method telemarketers use to avoid detection is “caller I.D. spoofing,” which means a telemarketer uses a false caller-identification number so that the phone number appearing on your caller I.D. is not the actual phone number of the telephone equipment placing the call."

Then they went on to sugest I fill out a complaint with the FTC, Which I have done at least 5 times for this number.

I forgot to add, I filled a complaint with them, the FTC and the Illinois State Attoney General (wating to here from).

Here is the whole letter, notice it keeps reffering to area cone 206, I filled the complaint with the 360 area code.

RE:   Pacific Telecom Communications Group

Dear RJA [I changed]


Our office has received your complaint regarding the phone calls you have been receiving. We understand how annoying and frustrating it is to receive unwanted telephone calls.



Unfortunately, unscrupulous telemarketers use a variety of methods to conceal their true identity and location in order to avoid detection. Sometimes, telemarketers obtain telephone numbers that are assigned to certain area codes and assign those numbers to telephone equipment that is not located in that area code. Another method telemarketers use to avoid detection is “caller I.D. spoofing,” which means a telemarketer uses a false caller-identification number so that the phone number appearing on your caller I.D. is not the actual phone number of the telephone equipment placing the call.



We have determined that the telephone number you reported as the source of the calls is owned by Pacific Telecom Communications Group, which is located in Los Angeles, California. Pacific Telecom provides telephone numbers, many of which have 206 area codes, to subscribers. However, many of the subscribers who obtain the 206 telephone numbers from Pacific Telecom are not located in Washington state and could be located anywhere. Under these circumstances, there is very little this office can do to locate the physical presence of the party who is making the calls. However, you should report these calls to the Federal Trade Commission by filing a complaint online at: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.



If you would like to learn more about caller I.D. spoofing, you can find additional information on the Federal Communication Commission’s website: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing.



Thank you for contacting our office. Your correspondence will become a part of the public record.

How do you get them to stop calling?

The same ole' "Lower your interest rate" scam. Every time I press "1" to talk to them, to find out who they are- they HANG UP ON ME immediately!!!  Go figure!  What a scam!  Stop calling.  It's at least a couple times each week!!!
