Why don't you people report this # to the National Do Not Call Registry, assuming you have signed up your telephone # with them. They have a complaint form on the web page to cover situations like this. I report every time this happens to me, and I have never received a repeat call after reporting it. I also paste links to several complaint boards such as this into the complaint I file, so they know that this is happening to many people. If more people would take this kind of action, you would see more prosecutions of these people. (they are just trying to get info from you for identity theft)
This will do more good than contacting DirecTV or the Chicago Tribune. They don't have the resources to follow up on this kind of complaint. Our tax dollars are paying the bill for the National Do Not Call Registry to look into these situations. Legitimate companies have to pay a stiff fine for calling #'s that are signed up with the Do Not Call Registry. And bogus companies such as this one will be prosecuted.
Received call at 10:11 p.m. If this is care one, I told them I would call them if I decided to use them. Getting the idea they would not be a good choice for doing business,.
