I have received multiple call from these numbers over the past 72 hours:
720-452-5643
732-813-5530
651-333-4020
856-295-6937
607-203-5522
If called back, they all go to "The Career Institute". Following their own "do-not-call" instructions from their main menu, they continue calling from various numbers.
These phone numbers are "vended" by Peerless Networks (various states, but HQ is Chicago). Here is THEIR "Do-Not-Call" complaint / policy to complain about their client's usage / behavior etc...

I rather doubt that they will be able to do anything, so here are the executives from Peerless:

If "There Career Institute" keeps calling, give Mr. Barnicle (CEO) of Peerless a call, since he is the vendor ultimately responsible for all of this. I just received yest another call from 607-203-5522 as I was typing this message.
If this keeps up, I will have to publish Mr. Barnicle's home number (along with all of Peerless' officers)......
Recently, I got the Digitone call blocker (thru Amazon) for my business line. The super neat thing with the Digitone is that you can block entire area codes.
This call was from the Denver, Boulder area so I blocked the 720 and the 303 area codes. The Digitone will block at least 80 area codes, along with individual numbers and private and out of area calls. So nice.
For my home line, I had an older Panasonic phone that could block 30 numbers. NOW, I have the newer Panasonic phone that block 250 numbers. I already have 50 numbers blocked.
It's shameful that we have to go through all this trouble and expense for our privacy. But, I love blocking telemarketers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a very simple response to to someone asking for the owner or manager. I just say "put me on your do not call list" and immediately hang up. NO customer asks for the owner or manager.
