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.
Credit card caller, told me to get F _ _ _k'd and asked how I liked his reply. This happens alot. My suggestion is to waist their time, play along, dont give them real information about yourself and then hang up on them. These people are a waist of air and time.
they call every day, even though im registered on the do not call list. and it says press 1 to lower your intrest on ur credit card. i dnt even have a credit card! so i press 1 to tell them to stop calling, and when i tell them to take me off their list the hang up, every time! its so annoying
