"Nuisance phone calls not originating in Tillamook County
Police here have been fielding complaints from all over the United States about harassing calls from a telemarketer with a 503 area code phone number.
Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright said complaints have been coming for about three months.
Even though the calls have been traced to a 503 number, Wright said, they are not originating in Tillamook County or anywhere else in Oregon.
The number - (503) 457-1034 - is registered to Pacific Telecom Communications Group Inc., a telemarketing company in Los Angeles, according to the website for the Oregon Public Utility Commission.
According to another website, Scaminformer.com, Pacific Telecom Communications Group provides telephone services for "two layers of hidden companies that refuse to abide by federal regulations regarding telemarketing."
A number of complaints posted online about calls from that number say recipients are asked questions of a medical nature. A Google search of the phone number turned up an online pharmacy that does not give its location or phone number and can only be contacted by sending an email through the website.
Scaminformer.com said similar complaints have been lodged with authorities in Montana about calls emanating from a phone number with a 406 area code.
According to Wright, no complaints have been received by his department from Tillamook County residents. He added that local law enforcement agencies have no jurisdiction in the matter.
The police chief urged those who have received harassing phone calls from telemarketers to contact the Federal Trade Commission at (877) 382-4357 or online at www.ftc.gov and file a complaint."
Good luck! Only if enough people file informal complaints at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints, is there a chance of putting these scumbags out of business.
Thanks.
P.S. If you get these guys calling from the exchanges listed above, please cut and paste this information to the comments on those numbers. With them having thousands of numbers, this is going to take a community effort to get the FTC off their duff!
