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).

Got a call from them today and the heading was listed as "FRAUDULENT CALL". it appears someone is wise to their shenanigans and has found a way to warn us.
I "pressed 1" to speak to a live person. He asked me if I'd like to try their hope security system for free. When I asked for some specifics, the man who answered said that I'd have to talk to his supervisor. I then said that instead I'd like to have my number removed from their system. This is the conversation that took place:
"Well then will you please remove my number from your system?"
"No."
"No?! You're not going to remove me from your list?"
"Why would I?"
"Because you're spamming my cell phone and I'm asking to be put on the 'do not call' list. If you don't remove me from your system I am going to have to follow this up another way."
- *disconnected*
When I tried to call back, the number was no longer in service.
These slimy [***] are REALLY frustrating. What is our recourse?
