NON-FUNCTIONAL assistance from the FCC, FTC, Do Not Call List and the resulting 24 hour daily harassing calls that the public must endure daily .....
Hello CBS NEWS' Investigative Scam Department (
[email protected] ). Last night I also sent a similarly insightful e/mail directed to your Los Angeles, CA Investigative Reporter, David Goldstein. With that plea for investigative assistance I also furnished among other things my personal list of at the time 11 of these phone numbers that I have been able to identify. Now, less than 24 hours later, my list is already up to 13 from last nights 11.
I don't know how to type this out briefly and I don't want to type out a novel to explain this. This is a SEVERE matter that is way over my head already and clearly, as per the postings I read almost daily on the internet, quite out of control. At this point I don't even know if trusting my credit card company is even possible anymore now that I read that credit card companies are selling contact information lists that result in hard working consumers to be harassed at all hours of the day and night on their landline and cell phones (which we have to pay to receive) with unsolicited, unwarranted, bogus financing, mortgage revamps, home construction and various other subjects of solicitation and all even if on the DO NOT CALL LIST for many years as is the case with me.
If you were to simply Google any of these 13 phone numbers that I have "attempted" to block from calling my landline number here at home (see the list of those 13 numbers below), you'll see ENDLESS complaints posted from other persons such as myself that just can't put up with all of this harassment and disturbance any longer.
Why aren't the agencies assigned to these matters stopping this???? Why aren't these people being fined as stated??? Why doesn't the DO NOT CALL LIST stop these intruders???? Why must we also be leery of our credit card companies and banking institutions now????????? Who can we trust now???? Where will we (I) find peace of mind????
We all work hard and we only live once, why can't it be in a peaceful manor without these added burdens to add to life's complexities???? On top of it, the desperate, naive and elderly are falling victim to these scammers.
Am I making any sense to you in what I seek your investigative expertise in? If the public even hears that CBS INVESTIGATIONS is looking into this, they'll be glued to their T.V.'s just to hear about it and even to see who these persons are, where they call from and why they do it not to mention HOW and WHO was paid to provide our contact information.
Example complaints on the internet by simply doing a phone number search on Google, example 1-305-587-2091 that's all you have to type into the search bar to get these.

Now below is my personal up to date (2/22/12) list of 13 now blocked calls from my home landline. I can only block 7 more (20 max) with my AT&T Uverse service and I have no idea yet how to block these calls on my AT&T cell phone service yet.
