This # called the company my wife works for at 9 pm while she was closing. The company is a childrens indoor rec business (inflatable bounces). When she answered, he asked to speak to the owner, my wife told him she wasn't available and asked who was calling, he answered Timothy Jarvis. He asked her to leave a message that he called and she told him 'I can do that but you're better off just calling back, she's bad about returning messages.' To which he replied 'Oh, shell return my call, I'm special.' At that point my wife asked what the call was in reference to, and he said 'Dont you worry about that, why don't you just get yourself pretty'd up a bit, I'll be there in a few minutes and we can have some fun on those bounces.' She called me right away and gave me this number. I tried to call it several times (this just happened last night) and much like many of you get the Google voice subscriber is not available message.
It isn't a scam it is a crapy telemarkiting firm local splash has hired. File complaints with local spash here: http://www.localsplash.com/contact , maybe they will fire their contractor.
I have been geeting calls from "Local splash" about 3-5 times a week for the past 4 months. Out off all the times I have answered I have actualy spoken to someone twice. Both times after letting them finish their speal I let them know we are not interested and to remove us from their list, but the calls continiue.
Anyway I am happy to report that Local splash is no longer a Google partner as they violated their partnership/program terms. I'm trying to find other ways to report thier harrasment. In the mean time you can also file complaints with the FCC here: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm?id=d1e37
Called around 8:30 a.m. I didn't pick up and the call did not last long enough to even go into voicemail. Caller ID showed Garden Grove, CA. When I looked up the area code, it showed Southern California. The prefix 205 is assigned to T-mobile.
I told them that my number is on the federal do not call list. They said that it is not illegal to call numbers on this list if a business is operated out of your home.
They then said that they supply information to google. The failed to say that google wants to receive this information and does not black list their email address. In ethics this is called a "lie of omission."
This is very much like scams for new authors. They say that for $500 they will send descriptions of your book to reviewers. The reviewers are smart enough to know that this is a paid service and very likely blacklist the email address of these agencies.
