Got a call... did not answer it... if I don't know the number, you get to speak to voicemail. I'm getting tons of telemarketing calls the last month... they suck.. all of them... like we're really gonna want to be bothered.
Doing about an hour of phone work, I found out this number (802) 488-3064 is provided thru CTC Communications Corporation, VT (NOT the CTC Communications corp in Canada).
Problem is the only local number [802-658-8864 in Williston Vermont] for Ctc communications corporation, VT is disconnected. I got an (800) number thru Centurylink [using 802-555-1212]. Thru many many loops, hurdles, and wrong numbers, I found out the telephone provider for this 'security company' [Ctc Communications] was bought out by Earthlink.
I confirmed this with Earthlink business at (800) 962-2488.
Next, I was tried to squeeze out the contact info for this "security" company twice, but Earthlink was tight lipped and required a subpoena. Earthlink charges $75 per hour for them to research, along with whatever your court costs would be [http://www.earthlink.net/about/policies/civil.faces].
So I kind of hit a dead end and im just blocking the whole area code to prevent further calls. Good luck whoever wants to pursue this further. I just doubt the $1,000-per-FTC-telemarketer-who-calls-after told-to-stop-and-after-you-are-on-the-national-do-not-call-list-cival-penalty 'thing' will be enough to pay all your legal, travel, and research fees.
I was kind of thinking of when they call having them come out and waste their time also getting the contact information for the 'company' but, as this is clearly a scam, its not very safe giving out your physical address to thieves.
Good luck people.
P.S. I am leaving this same message for the numbers below. If you dial any of these numbers, oddly the same 'man' answers saying to press 1 to be placed on the do not call list. SAME EXACT MESSAGE VERBATIM for each of these numbers.
I stopped dialing at (802) 488-3020. I believe this 'security company' has the whole (802) 488-30xx block (99 numbers).
(802) 488-3065 - 69 are all busy/not-in-service, as are 53 - 59, 43- 40, 39-31, 29- 24 and 20
I tried (802) 488-2060 just to see about the next block of number but it was for a completely different company and did not have a clue about any home security products.
Also, (802) 488-4060/62 were not in service (with a message saying so).
you can add area code 202 to all those numbers now too there leaving messages about a criminal case my home just burned down and im pregnant with 3 kids im ready to go crazy
Heidi, there is *no* criminal case - it's just a bunch of scammers trying to scare people into paying a bogus debt, a debt that's already been paid, or even a debt that is owed - but not to the caller. BTW, debt is civil, not criminal, so that should tell you right there that the callers are just a bunch of thieving losers. If they are calling your cell phone, you may be able to add the number to a reject call list. If not, there are free call blocking apps. Sorry that you are going through this harassment after losing your home - I hope things turn out better for you soon!
