Their story is something like "You and your website signed up as an affiliate of our service or someone else signed you up". They spammed all of our email addresses and after we reported them to their "host" then they also called us. This is a new way of "spamming" and "advertising". You get the message through a large audience. We think this is unfair and wasting a olot of time for the "target". Personally us will never go or us their services just because of their questionable advertising practices.

- 888-831-5321 - called someone who does not reside here. Usual marketers tactics. Reported them to www.donotcall.gov . Hopefully they get fined
a large sum of money. Usually they do. Their name and address is: Soundbite Communications Inc., 3 Burlington Woods Drive, Burlington, MA 01803, USA
http://www.soundbite.com - they called us many times already, once on 17th August and then on 18th August 2005 and then on 22nd of August 2005 and then on 8:59 AM on 23rd August 2005. We reported them to Do Not Call list every time they called us and asked them not to call again, but they keep calling us. They called again on 6th of September 2005 on 3:50 PM (EST). They are always looking for Timothy C. Patterson who has never lived at this address. Removal requests are not honoured.

- 800-823-4712 = (800) 823 4712 - Called on August 30, 2006 at 6:00 PM - as "TOLL-FREE NUMBER" and their voice recording says "CARD SERVICES". They told me they are representing BANK OF AMERICA. They were asking my private information. I asked them to not call again.

There must be very shy people on the other end. When I called them the phone line was busy all the time. They must be busy shy people... What's the biz?

- 361-992-3033 = Called on 8th November 2006 at 3:41 PM = (361) 992 3033. I answered and said "Hello?" repeatedly, but no one was on the other end. I called and customer service answered from a 4th ring only. Looks like their company name is "Futuremarket" (?). They are listed at WHOCALLED.US http://www.whocalled.us/lookup/3619923033. I reported them to DONOTCALL.GOV www.donotcall.gov . They called again, from a different phone number: 361-992-3070 on 9th of November 2006 at 4:16 PM = (361) 992 3070. They were asked to remove our phone number from their calling list and we reported them to donotcall.gov again. Yet they called again!!! This time from 361-992-3055 right the next day on 10th November 2006 at 2:55 PM. The female voice admitted calling us from three different phone numbers.

- 800-482-5390 = Called on 29th December 2006 at 12:14 PM = (800) 482 5390 (this number was left as a contact number for the unsolicited caller). Mike Mason left a message that's impossible to understand what it's about. Mike Mason from "Winter Pros" or perhaps "Winner Pros". Mike does not respect DONOTCALL.GOV list nor our wishes to remain unsolicited call free. Phone id showed 800-815-9907 as TOLL-FREE NUMBER. They identify themselves as "Message Review System". They describe themselves as a free to everyone service to send messages to the public. Free to the businesses, annoyance to the public. Reported to the Do Not Call List.

- 800-677-5883 = Called on 8th January 2007 at 2:22 PM = (800) 677 5883 (this number was left as a contact number for the unsolicited caller, but the caller ID shows as "UNKNOWN CALLER"). Some female voice left a message saying that we can win $50 by supporting our local christian music radio station. The unsolicited caller said "if you are a female of 30-45 years old...". They are clearly targeting certain sex and age groups, but their intelligence is questionable...That company does not respect DONOTCALL.GOV list nor our wishes to remain unsolicited call free. They called two different phone numbers of ours on the same day. Reported them to the Do Not Call List.

- 712-432-7427 (800-677-5883) = Called on 9th January 2007 at 11:21 AM from (712) 432 7427 (Caller ID showed LAKE PARK, IA) and said that they are from a "collection agency" and looking for "name that is known to me" and also the female voice (Lacrissa) said that they have to "discuss an important business matter" and they asked to call them at (800) 677 5883 at extention # 2042. Reported them to the Do Not Call List. Looks like the DoNotCall list does not protect us anymore although our listing with DoNotCall list expires sometime in 2011!!!

- 559-298-0183 (referring to call: 800-677-5883) = Called on 19th January 2007 at 2:22 PM = (559) 298 0183 (the caller ID shows as "CLOVIS, CA"). Some female voice left a message saying that we can win $50 by supporting our local christian music radio station. The unsolicited caller said "if you are a female of 30-45 years old...". They are clearly targeting certain sex and age groups. This was their second phone call (first one see above on 8th of January 2007). Apparently they called us yesterday as "UNKNOWN CALLER" and were looking for some Leticia .... when we said it must be a wrong number, they insisted to ask "but is this the xxx-xxx-xxxx number?" Apparently they were verifying whether they got the "right" person to keep on "spamming" over the phone. Today they called two different phone numbers of ours in a row. One after another. Reported them again to the Do Not Call List.

- 540-563-7000 (referring to call: 866-905-0428) = Called on 30th January 2007 at 10:05 AM = (540) 563 7000 (the caller ID showed ROANOKE, VA).
Female voice said that she is "Sheri" (if that's the correct spelling) from WACHOVIA BANK wishes to talk about important matter and gave the 800-905-0428 number to call. Reported them to the Do Not Call List.

- 800-867-7183 - Called on 3rd February 2007 at 12:48 PM. Female voice: "This is a courtesy call from Trackphone (Tracfone) Wireless (trackphone.com or tracfone.com) at 1 800 867 7183. Your cellphone service is about to expire in a few days.... etc." Indeed I never have or had any service or business with them (TracFone)! Called on 3rd February 2007 at 12:48 PM. Reported them to the Do Not Call List.

- 800-419-7370 - Female voice: "This is a courtesy call from Trackphone (Tracfone) Wireless (trackphone.com or tracfone.com)... Your tracfone

- 866-572-8957 - Called on 12th November 2007 at 9:23 AM. Caller ID displayed "Toll-Free Number / 866-572-8957". The voice said "Northland Group. Call us about important business matter" (North Glenn Group?) When I called them back several times the male and the female told me same story, that they were looking for LESLIE and that they had my phone number wrong. The third time when I called the female asked me why I am disturbing them and began blaming me that I call their phone... Reported them to the DONOTCALL.GOV. More to come... (hopefully not).

- 800-419-7370 - TRACFONE www.tracfone.com = (800) 419 7370. Called on November 20, 2007 at 7:08 PM (see also the two above complaints on the 3rd and 24th of February 2007 as well!). Female voice: "This is a courtesy call from Tracfone Wireless, thanks for being a good customer.... etc." Indeed I never have or had any service or business with them (TracFone)! They have the nerve to call again and to "keep" me as their "customer". Reported them to the Do Not Call List.

- 800-521-4956 - "American Agency" = (800) 521 4956. Called on December 5, 2007 at 12:05 PM. Female recorded voice (approximately): "We would like to discuss a personal matter with you..." When I called them, they said they are an "Accounts receivable" company looking for Victor and that they had my phone number wrong and that they will remove my number from their calling list within 48 hours. Reported them to the Do Not Call List.

- 948-576-0219 = (948) 576 0219 - Called us this afternoon and evening (Feb. 25, 2008 from 5:02 PM to 9:24 PM) 11 (eleven) times! At the beginning their phone number showed up along with "OUT OF AREA" but later on they called us from "UNKNOWN CALLER". Sometimes the line sounded like a fax signal, but most of the time they call and don't speak. We ask them not to call our number anymore, but they immediately call us back, make some noise as if they are muting their speaker constantly, and we can hear some strong background noise. We called them back, but their phone line is constantly busy (and you know why). Probably some retards (Our other guesses: Santa Claus research line? The Other Dimension? Afterlife junkies? Dead relatives or pets? Trash bin mafia? Office of the President of the Untied Skates?), but we enter them into this page for a legal record. Reported them to the Do Not Call List. Surprised they are still operating their annoyance line after so many people were hit by them: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=948-576-0219&btnG=Google+Search .

- McAfee's been calling us unsolicited a couple of times. Unfortunately they hid their number under "UNKNOWN CALLER" but the unsolicitor said he's representing McAfee Antivirus. He just said "McAfee's here again" and began asking whether we need their anti virus services and we just asked them not to call our number ever again.

- 856-614-3102 = (856) 614 3102 - Called us this morning (March 14, 2008 8:56 AM). Woke us up. No one spoke on the line and after some time they hung up. Their phone ID showed "CAMDEN, NJ". We called them back, voice mail answered a female voice with a strange American accent (New Jerseyan?) which said "Consumer Affairs". We didn't leave a message. Called them again in the afternoon, Louise answered the phone. She said "Consumer Protection". After we asked what kind of service is this, she said that they help people who were defrauded. They said all they do is direct people to the county office in Newark, New Jersey if they were defrauded in New Jersey or in Newark. When we told her what happened she told us that they open at 9:00 AM and that no one was there before 9:00 AM and no one could have called us this early. Who knows, perhaps someone took over their line or some mysterious givernment agency playing tricks, but why would someone call us and not speak and then hang up the phone after listening to our voice? Louise then said she will give us a supervisor and said "I'm gonna give you a supervisor, cause I don't wanna listen to this". We waited on the phone for about 2-3 minutes ad hung up since it costs us money for the long distance call. Reported the incident and the phone number to the Do Not Call List.

- 480-223-1439 = (480) 223 1439 - Called us this afternoon (April 29, 2008 at 6:06 PM). No one spoke on the line and after some time they asked "Hi, may I speak to Lesley?". Their phone ID showed "SPRINT GLOBAL". Reported the incident and the phone number to the Do Not Call List. You should too.

- 866-202-4323 = (866) 202 4323 - Called us this afternoon (April 29, 2008 at 7:02 PM). No one spoke on the line and after some time they asked "Is Lesley there?". Coincidence with the above incident? Their phone ID showed "TOLLFREE NUMBER" . It was probably "SPRINT GLOBAL" calling again an hour later. Reported the incident and the phone number to the Do Not Call List.

- 800-947-2987 - (Rude female on the other end refused to tell me their company name, but I found out it's CBCS, who supposedly called about someone's name (that I don't know) which she refused to spell out letter-by-letter to me) = (800) 947 2987. Phone ID showed "TOLLFREE NUMBER". Called on June 13, 2008 at 8:04 AM.

- 800-470-0857 - TRACFONE www.tracfone.com = (800) 470 0857. Phone ID showed "TOLLFREE NUMBER". Called on June 14, 2008 at 10:03 AM (see also the above complaints). There was complete silence, no one talked, no sound just a microscopical background noise. After they hung up, my phone line was acting strange, I was unable to hang up correctly, it made a noise like a fax and was "busy" as if someone or something tried to disable it. Indeed I never have or had any service or business with them (TracFone)! Reported them to the Do Not Call List. Wonder what does the justice system do to STOP them from terrorizing people?

- 800-470-0857 - TRACFONE www.tracfone.com = (800) 470 0857. Phone ID showed "TOLLFREE NUMBER". Called on June 14, 2008 at 11:02 AM (see also the above complaints). The pre-recorded voice said to press "1" to be removed from future telemarketing calls of Tracfone! I did, but it kept on talking and then said to press on "3" to be removed from telemarketing calls again! I pressed "3" and then it asked to enter my phone number into their system (no way!) to be removed. I did that in the past with Tracfone yet they keep on calling me even if my telephone number is listed with Do Not Call list. Reported them to the Do Not Call List again.

- 800-776-7637 = (800) 776 7637 - Called on June 19, 2008 at 12:37 PM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 800-631-5158 = (800) 631 5158 - Called on June 19, 2008 at 1:57 PM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 800-852-4640 = (800) 852 4640 - Called on June 25, 2008 at 10:02 AM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 888-297-3263 = (888) 297 3263 - Called on June 26, 2008 at 4:29 PM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 877-375-7130 = (877) 375 7130 - Called on June 27, 2008 at 9:33 AM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 888-238-2727 = (888) 238 2727 - Called on June 28, 2008 at 1:21 PM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke.

- 877-702-7880 = (877) 702 7880 - Called on June 29, 2008 at 10:57 AM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no
one spoke and when I called them the guy told me it's ERA (I asked again and he said "Legal Department" of "E.R.A." again; he did not say E.R.S.), but then he recognised my voice from the conversations with the below two phone numbers (877-375-7130 and 888-297-3263) and he corrected himself and he said that they are E.R.S. and that my phone has been removed. He confirmed that they use multiple phone numbers which they usually rarely admit. I suspect they are using
many different numbers to annoy telephone line owners who may be the debtors that they are after (or perhaps the ERA/ERS are not debt collecting agency after all?) but they may not realize that the phone number already belongs to an innocent new party (new land line owner).

- 877-375-7130 = (877) 375 7130 - Called on June 30, 2008 at 11:56 AM - as usual, they called as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no response, no one spoke on the other end of the line, but when I called them back, the female hung up on me once I told her that there was a phone call from their number this morning. She told me that their company name is ERS (Elite Recovery Specialists). Then I called again and a guy told me they don't have my phone number on a ecord and he hung up. Then I called again and Mr. Reuter talked politely and explained that someone "Lesley xxxxx" owes a lot of money to everyone and they are a collection agency and they sometimes call the phone given which in my case is now my phone number. I asked them not to call again.
They said they removed my phone number from their calling list. Mr. Reuter also told me that they are only allowed by law to contact a person once (not a debtor, which I'm not associated with any debts of theirs nor anyone else's neither I owe anyone any money). See also the above and the below case.

- 888-297-3263 = (888) 297 3263 - as usual, they called (on June 30, 2008 on 6:21 PM) as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no response, no one spoke on the other end of the line, but when I called them back, the female (has "Black" accent; not that it's good or bad, just to identify in the future) told me even without asking that they were looking for LESLIE.... as always, they always call from this or different phone number and look for Leslie! What's the point of such calls? Annoyance which has some kind of purpose. I asked them to remove my phone number from their calling list and she said they will. See also the two above cases.

- 800-852-4640 = (800) 852 4640 - Called on July 16, 2008 at 3:29 PM - as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" , but it's actually ADT. The female asked for person's name and when I asked her "Whom am I speaking with?" she hung up.

- 781-634-7970 = (781) 634-7970 - Emailed on August 22, 2008. Offered a "fully verifiable University Degree". Not a phone call. A spam email.

- 800-898-4426 = (800) 898 4426 - Called twice: on August 15, 2008 at 9:37 AM and on August 22, 2008 at 12:41 PM - as "TOLLFREE NUMBER". Male voice asked for person's name (VICTOR YESSLER or similar). When I called they identified themselves as ".....bla-bla-bla.... impossible to understand.... bla-bla-bla companies" and there was no answer. Sounds like the call is being transferred to overseas.

- 801-623-4621 = (801) 623 4621 - Called on August 29, 2008 at 8:30 PM - as "PROVO, UT" (Provo, Utah). Female voice asked for a lady of the house and after asked who she is she "introduced" herself as Rachael Ray... No, she was not Rachael Ray. Not even close. When asked how did she get my phone number since it is listed under "Do Not Call" list, she said that they are not telemarketers and that they would like to speak to the lady of the house about some women's issues, cooking etc. When I called their phone number back to see who they are they identified themselves as www.westernwats.com (data collection). Now imagine if you receive 20 calls from "data collection" agencies every day. What would your life be.

- 866-400-9369 = (866) 400 9369 - called on October 10, 2008 at 3:28 PM as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no response, no one spoke on the other end of the line, but when I called them back, the voice said due to network difficulty... blablabla, could not connect me, and when I called again and again it just disconnects the line without connecting me, which I find pretty weird if not illegal to do. What's the point of such calls? Annoyance which has some kind of purpose. There is not even a way to reach them to remove my phone number from their calling list, so I consider such practice criminal and will report to authorities.

- 888-230-0939 = (888) 230 0939 - called on January 17, 2009 at 1:19 PM as "MOVIE GALLERY" with a pre-recorded soliciting message. We've never dealt nor subscribed with them. Their ID showed # 202-495-7125 = (202) 495 7125. Reported the incident and the phone number to the Do Not Call List. So should you, if you ever receive an unsolicited call from them.

- 602-633-3240 = (602) 633 3240 - called on June 19, 2009 at 1:54 PM as "OUT OF AREA" and asked for LESLIE or VICTOR.... as always, they always call from a different phone number and look for Leslie or Victor. Asking to be removed from calling list seems to have no impact on these callers.

- 904-217-7871 = (904) 217 7871 - called on September 1, 2009 at 10:39 AM unidentified to my unlisted emergency-only cellular phone that must remain unbusy 24/7, therefore I did not pick up the call and will not call to be removed, but will report to Do Not Call List. This number is a landline from St. Augustine, Florida previously provided by BellSouth, now the service provider is Comcast.

- 904-217-7871 = (904) 217 7871 - called on September 8, 2009 at 7:14 PM unidentified to my unlisted emergency-only cellular phone. When I called them back in order to ask to be removed the voice recording said (first few words are missing from the recording): "DIALED IS NOT IN SERVICE. PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER AND DIAL AGAIN". This number is a landline from St. Augustine, Florida previously provided by BellSouth and currently it is Comcast accordingly to AT&T. Reported this case to AT&T fraud department, Federal Trade Commission and FBI.

- 800-723-7655 = (800) 723 7655 - called on February 5, 2010 at 1:45 PM and did not speak, when asked repeatedly, they hung up. It's ASHLAND UNIVERSITY, Massillon, Ohio.

- 877-240-2145 = (877) 240 2145 - called on February 8, 2010 at 8:38 PM as "TOLLFREE NUMBER" and kept completely silent, no response, no one spoke on the other end of the line, but when I called them back, the recorded female voice says "You have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please check the number and dial later". What's the point of such calls? Annoyance which has some kind of purpose. There is not even a way to reach them to remove my phone number from their calling list, so I consider such practice criminal and will report to authorities.

- 800-238-3770 = (800) 238 3770 - called on February 23, 2010 at 7:45 PM as "TOLL FREE CALL" and kept completely silent, no response, no one spoke on the other end of the line and then they hung up the line, but when I called them back, the recorded female voice says "ADT Security Services". I never did any business with ADT before (and since they act so disrespectfully I never will).

- 843-492-5456 (866-505-7419) = (843) 492 5456 and (866) 505 7419 - called on July 12, 2010 at 12:51 PM (afternoon). The recorded message said "This call is for LUCRETIA (HEYDEN? HAIDEN? HAYDEN?), call us back at 1-866-505-7419. When I called them the recorded message said it is "RECEIVABLE SOLUTIONS, INC." This is an Nth time they called me looking for "LUCRETIA" or "VICTOR", who seem to be standard names that they are "looking" for. Reported them to www.donotcall.gov .
