THIS NUMBER IS NOT IN SERVICE

Proactive robot recording for a clean septic tank.

I am on a Federal and a state of fla. do not call list on 3/13/14 about 8pm they called about a septic tank bacteria.pill

Since last April, we've been getting robo calls about once a month or so from these people.  They've blocked the phone number so nothing shows on caller ID and the caller name says UNKNOWN NAME.  I usually hang up as soon as the call recording starts, but this time I decided to see if I could get a name for these people so I can file a complaint.  I've been on the Do Not Call list since last May, so if they were adhering to the law, they would have removed me by now.  

So the recorded pitch starts, and the name Proactive has been weirdly inserted in a couple of places.  I keep listening until it gets to the say yes or no part - I said NO! loudly, then when the recording asks for my name and spelling, I said, "What part of 'no' do you not understand?"  The recording ended, I hung up and started googling "Proactive Septic Treatment", which led me to this thread.

I'm afraid that this is one of those scams where they get you to say yes, then sign you up for something you don't want or need, bill you, and threaten you for non-payment.  I wish I could figure out how to get rid of them, but the jerks are blocking their number and name, so I can't even report them to the FTC.

Received a telemarketer call on 1/4/2013 Saturday morning at 8:26AM - could not trace the caller ID - but it appears to be this same company - Very annoying and troublesome  

keep your septic tank healthy

Nobody on this Talk Board can do anything for you.  Make them stop yourself.

They are relentless, calling and calling about this stupid Practiv Septic Treatment - but you can't talk to a person.  I hate them - I would never ever ever buy anything from these people!!!! MAKE THEM STOP CALLING.

I am registered on the Do Not Call registry.  Clearly your automated robocall has just inserted your ProActive name into a blank slot when the previous name gets too many complaints!  Stop this now before you are sent to jail.

Call came as "unknown". Can't even block the call!!  When they asked for a "yes" response to send info, I said nothing. The robo call thanked me for agreeing then asked for my name and address. I responded with Joe Smith and the robo disconnected. I was called three times in 24". I will report this to our State AG.

Getting up to 5-7 of these calls about 3 times a month. Tired of it!!!

* all the names they give are made up.  My friend realized what kind of componay this was and left..

A friend worked for this company for a long time,  when they call hang up, they will do and say anything to ship the product,  and then call and threat you till u pay.. they will tell u u cant return it,  or its past 30 days.  It is all bull. All of the above numbers are all from same company,  they have diferent names,  diferent #s abd diferent adresses   . And dont bother calling them to comolaine no one cares ,  all the manes they give are made up.  Its sad

I tried Activator 1000 and its smell made me nauseous and it destroyed the pipes and drains in my shower.

This guy is on something and its not legal.

Activator 1000 is applied to your septic by flushing it down the toilet.  The activator is an enzyme that eats bacteria and it is quite similar to yeast.  Neither of these are corrosive!  The smell is not overly offensive as the product base is inert.

So if anyone would like to comment as to how this man's septic tank water got into the pipes and drains of his shower I'd love to hear it! :)

I've been using Activator 1000 for the last 2 years and it does work and it doesn't cost that much.  I believe the company that sold it to me may have gone out of business.  The 800 number "1-800-505-8800" netted a no answer after 10 rings on a Saturday.  Any business that doesn't answer either in person or by machine is not in business IMO.

The company was, in fact, based in New Jersey.

As an alternative product if you have septic tank worries, is "Riddex" which is a national brand and commonly found in most stores, such as Wal-Mart

The care and feeding of a septic system is real and the facts that come with the Activator product are true.  When I sold my house in New Jersey in 2005, the septic system failed the home inspection ordered by the buyers and a new system cost me $34,000.00.  That's a lot of Activator 1000!

First off, the National Do Not Call list is a government agency that collects numbers and also collects information on complaints.  Putting you number here will not stop the calls.  Also, this agency doesn't act on your behalf and does nothing, aside from collect data, in any number you complaint about.

Filing a complaint with the FTC also doesn't do anything unless YOU are will to file suit legally.  They do have information help lines to help you collect information in that regard.  However, unless you are wiling to file a suit against them, you are merely spinning your wheels.

Government agencies, for the most part, cannot and will not help an individual wanting relief from these annoying calls.

If you want to do something you have to do it yourself and its not free.

Buy a phone that has a call block feature.
Contact your phone company and get "Privacy Caller ID"
Standard blocking systems from phone company that are normally free will only block local area code numbers.

I filed a complaint here: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
And then I wrote the scumbags and told them that's what I was doing and that jail would be appropriate.

These people have got to be the rudest people on earth. They will tell you any name to get you to buy their product. A Tom Peterson supposedly works for them and is endlessly telling me I need more product. When I told him I would only talk with Don Davis, who is whom I ordered septic 1000 then later 2000 states "Oh that's me Don Davis. What a bunch of New Jersey troublemakers. They call me weekly, its either the hateful sales pitch man who refuses to allow me to talk or the nasal sounding woman who makes my life hell. Literally!  I am afraid to answer the phone. I have had the same experience as the post I am replying to. I have bought the last product from them, ever. Doesn't matter if their product is good I can find an equal product elsewheres. I am telling anyone who is reading never let them bully you into buying their product, once you do they are free to harrass you endlessly.

take my number off your call list

I just received 5 calls from an "out of area" number that cannot be re called or identified.  The caller proclaims that the USDA has endorsed "Pro Active".....etc.  I am on the "Do Not Call" list and have filed a complaint (between the 3 and 4th call!) but I know that IF that does any good it won't be for awhile.  I stayed on the line twice in hopes of speaking with a human and not the "robo" caller..........nope.  They ask for a name..........if you don't give them one they hang up.

This is annoying.

My husband is sick and we have received unwanted calls three times this week that have needlessly awakened him.  We do not want any more calls and do not have a septic tank.  Thank you for stopping the calls.

The message I keep getting is from some outfit called Pro Active.  It's always a computer generated message other than some one who say Pro Active about 3 different times.  I bet these calls are coming from some foreign source.

I am also transferring to my legal department.  I don't even have a septic tank but they called me saying I requested information???

I cannot verify that the calls are coming from this number, but Proactive Septic calls constitute harrassment.  The computer-generated call did not leave a telephone number, and I do not have caller ID.   I hung up on the first two calls from ProActive on January 18, 2013.  My phone rang again within about 10 minutes.  On the third call, I let the recording play but did not speak.  This stopped the calls at least for that night.

A robo call by this company to my DO NOT CALL phone number sounded fuzzy with background noise.  They requested my name but disconnected when I said "DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER TO ADVERTISE!"

Didn't order Activator 1000, Don't need or want, haven't opened any container and will try to return.  Resent ever opening packaging box as I didn't know what it was.  Thought is was something for Christmas as it arrived 12/22.  I'm supposed to be on a do not call list, and do not know how this item got sent to me.

I got 5 or 6 calls from 6094376347  The man insisted I buy Activators latest product.He has called me off and on for years.He is always very insistent.I get angry and end with NO don't ever call me again.I have caller ID and did not answer the last 2 times he called.On his 3rd call he said I know where you live and recited my city,state and street address.

Just to know, Activator 1000 is NOT approved for use in the state of Florida(Florida Dept of Health verified).  Caller states the product is FDA approved, but still not approved for sale in the state of Florida.  These types of products are not needed if septic tank is maintained properly.  All needed bacteria in the tank comes from flushing your toilet.  Don't flush your money down the toilet, learn how to properly use and maintain your septic tank by calling your local county health department.  Thanks.

Just got my 3rd call from "Joe Johnson" wanting to tell me all about "Activator 1000". He told me that I purchased a similar product from him in 1999. I was pleasant, and told him that I was not interested. He insisted on continuing to tell me how much I needed it. I told him that I had a new septic system and was not interested. He said, " well it's sort of like brushing your teeth"...I said "Really??" I'm not interested. He got pushy and said he would mail some out to me. I told him I did not want any, and that my number was on the DNC list, and not to call this number back. He said "Soooo"...that doesn't apply since you were a previous customer. I said " I suggest you not call this number back!!" He said, "who would want to call someone like you?" I hung up.  Hateful B####rd!!

ACTIVATOR 1000 & 2000 are awesome for the job!
