What will it take to cut this stuff from continuing. I have told them they have a wrong number at least 5 or more times. Why won't the FTC fine them or go after them? They pull numbers off business web sites with number fishing programs and harrassingly try to sell some scam web promotion deal for $150 or more.
Left a message this morning. Nobody spoke, but there was a lot of background noise (people talking ("Hi, I'm... and I'm calling from...", sneezing, coughing, etc.) like a call center.
LOTS OF NOISE, CALLED 5 TIMES IN A ROW BECAUSE SHE KEPT DROPPING THE PHONE CALL, NOT ME. SAID THEY ARE WITH A COMPANY CALLED "29 PRIME" LOOKING TO PUT ME ON GOOGLES, BING AND YAHOOS FRONT PAGE FOR MY BUSINESS, THEY LADY WAS THE 12TH PERSON WHO CALLED THIS MONTH AND ITS ONLY THE 19TH OF MARCH, SHE SAID A SPACE JUST OPENED UP? AND BEGAN TO TELL ME THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GROW MY BUSINESS FOR 30$ A MONTH? IF ITS SUCH A GOOD DEAL HOW DID A SPACE JUST OPEN UP?
It's fake sales.... a scam. Their sole purpose is to get your info and cc #. Google, bing, Mozilla etc do not make cold calls they send an email and/or 2 for 1 offer via usmail to show/prove their identity.
Yeah complete scam. They called and said something about Google. Then they asked me to confirm my business info, and listed my business name and address. Then passed me to 'marketing' and this guy started telling me he could get me on the front page of Google, Yahoo, and Bing for $150 a month which confirmed my suspicion that this was a scam. So I told him I couldn't handle the extra business at this point, and to give his company name so I could contact them in the future, and he said "We'll send it to you." And I asked how he planned on doing that and he hung up on me. Wonder how many people fall for this.
The guy called from a very loud call center - kept wanting me to verify my business info and pre-qualify me. Wouldn't tell me his company name, just said he was from Google, Yahoo and Bing - does he think I'm an idiot?
