These jokers just called me. Claimed they were calling from some Wellness Center. Then the caller forgot his lines and hung up. They've been at this for a few years now. They must be scamming some suckers or they wouldn't keep trying.
I have been receiving calls from GASD1 for some time now. I received 5 calls in one day. All different times. You wonder if someone is watching your house to see when it is empty. They say they are from different businesses. It is never consistant. They asked if the man of the house is home and such. Also, if it sounds like a man has answered. They hang up. This is definitely stalking to find if someone is home. Everything else is unknown at this point. I will be reporting this to the local phone company. My husband even called the number back. It said that if you would like to stop getting calls from this number... 404-891-5588 don't press a specific number to stop the calls. He did this last night. Guess what? We received a phone call this morning. They hung up.

As more consumers use technology, concerns about fraud and protecting consumers arise. Some of the consumer affairs issues NCSL has covered in this area include spam and wireless communications, among others.
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 and Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud Abuse Prevention Act of 1994 make it illegal for a telemarketing firm to call after a consumer has asked not to be and requires the firm to keep "do-not-call" lists and provide penalties for contacting a consumer after they have asked to be put on these lists. State lawmakers passed a variety of bills in 2009 that place restrictions on unsolicited telemarketing calls and regulate the use of automated dialing equipment.
Security breach legislation has been a hot topic since 2005. Now forty-six states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notification of security breaches involving personal information. NCSL also has a list of current security breach legislation for 2011.
NCSL also collects information regarding radio frequency identification (RFID). RFID technology can be thought of as a next-generation bar code. A simple RFID tag consists of a microchip and antenna, which when stimulated by a remote reader, sends back information via radio waves. The use of RFID has raised privacy concerns in some states, particularly with regard to linking personal information with RFID tags. NCSL tracks both state laws and pending legislation regarding RFID.

Caller ID says GADS1...multiple calls between 6 and 9 am. I dont know how to make this stop...there is never anyone on the other end to yell at. I just want them to stop calling here!!!
I received a call from this number at 8:35 am on 3-6-12. It was a male with a very strong accent. At first, I thought he was a bill collector or telemarketer. He asked for me by my first and last name. I said I wasn't available because I didn't know who he was. I asked, "Can I take a message?" and he replied with some very inappropriate sexual comments. He said that I looked great in the in the "video" and continued to say rude, harassing things to me. I handed the phone to my husband, he asked this jerk what he wanted. The guy replied "Your momma", and then hung up. I hope that these jerks who are prank calling & sexually harassing women over the phone, are caught and put behind bars.
Just received this call also and checked out to be the same as everyone one else here from caller GADSIP1 4048915588. I have family from ATL but the name seemed fishy they left no messages and I am not planing to call back from what I see here it could be a charge scam once you call back. This is nuts to see this # pop up like everyone here.insane
