Then why does the BBB show 901-458 2010 as the FAX number for the Park Ave Thrift store.
You are calling in violation of FCC rules and regulations for charitible telemarketers. Repeated calling and no one on the line when answered can be considered as harrassment in Tennessee.
So remove my number (901) 795-0729 from your database immediately. Your failure to stop calling me will result in legal action to stop the harrassment.H4U7
Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru.
But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:
Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.
It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!
Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!

Someone from this number called and said they were picking up for the homeless. From the responces I am reading that is not true. Why lie? I won't respond again. I would rather give to the Salvation Army. I know they are true. The people running the Salvation Army get less pay for the job they do than any other organization. They are run like this kind of organization should be run.
