She recommended that people report the calls to the Federal Trade Commission.
Lawsuits target Missouri firm
Among the likely culprits are a group of auto-warranty service companies in Missouri, particularly National Auto Warranty Services, also known as Dealer Services, at 100 Mall Parkway in Wentzville, Mo., according to the Better Business Bureau.
The company was sued this year by Verizon Wireless for being behind an "an illegal telemarketing campaign," according to court documents. Florida-based Explicit Media Inc. was also named in the suit, filed July 14 in federal court in New Jersey.
Verizon said the companies are responsible for nearly 3 million unsolicited calls to Verizon subscribers throughout the country, made in violation of Federal Trade Commission telemarketing regulations as well as the Do Not Call registry law.
The companies used "spoofing," a method of masking information, to hide outgoing call numbers, a violation of the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, court documents said.
I am ticked off!! I see this number ALL the time, so I picked it up, pressed 1 to speak to someone, said to take me off their list... She hung up on me mid sentence!! tried to call them back, disconnected!! UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING!!!!!! Makes me think about getting rid of my land line!!!
you are being called by Mr Ran David Barnea---four days ago they were using the telephone number 2394983522. The website heatherwithacoountservices.com tells how he works. Every few days these guys use a different telephone number---and all of them are bogus. They use a loophole in the law that allows them to leave fake telephone numbers on answering machines and caller id's so the public can't track them down. Reportedly Mr Barnea has a condo in Boca Raton Florida at 21955 Cypress Drive, apt 48F. This guy has no respect for our privacy, so we should return the favor and plaster his name and address all over the internet!
calles about changing my credit card over to another vendor... as soon as you say anything that is not related to call---they hang up... they call several times a day. and I am on no call list.
