I contacted the Texas Public Utility Commission about this number (see below). The calls from various numbers interrupt my day on both my land line and my cell phone so they are annoying and are beginning to border on harassing. I won't erase the call log on my cell or the caller ID on my land line so I have a record of the calls.
Thank you for contacting the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The No Call list is intended for legitimate Telemarketers that are selling goods or services. If you find that you receive solicitation calls from telemarketers you may file a complaint. If the calls you are receiving are exempt from the No Call list(Debt Collectors, State Licensees, etc.) or are “scams” or harassing you may contact the Attorney General of Texas at 1-800-621-0508 to file a complaint.
To file a No Call Complaint with the PUCT please provide the following information:
· Your name, address, and telephone number
· Telemarketers Name(if available) and telephone number
· Date and Time of Calls

I have received more than 150 (I have them documented) calls from these criminals. I have filed more that 50 complaints with the FTC however due to the fact that they hide behind spoofed numbers I doubt that they will ever stop any of them. They ask for up front fees and charge your credit card without performing any services.
I find that I am getting great enjoyment by pressing 1 and talking to one of their "reps". I have a phony name, credit card number, and security code that I use. The only legitimate number that I give them is the customer service number from a credit card that I no longer use since the card raised my rates.
I try to ask the criminals as many questions as possibe to keep them on the phone as long as I can. The scammers seem to get upset once they finally figure out that THEY are getting scammed. I guess they think their time is more valuable than mine.
This telephone number belongs to Pacific Telecom Communications Group. They insist that they do not initiate illegal telemarketing calls, however they are involved in managing the calling lists for their "3rd party contractors" who make the telemarketing calls.
