| Julia - how do we get rid of this 2011-06-06 20:43:03 Unknown |

| kurtsgal 2008-07-02 08:30:43 Unknown |
at&t as well
but i've had them for 6 years and never had this problem
| Mr Dick 2008-06-27 19:01:55 Unknown |
Holy Crap!!!
They actually showed up!!!
I asked for a business card. All they had was the estimate form thing. It had a Co name and 888 number only. No adress. I asked where they came from. They said Los Angeles. WooHoo. They came a long way!!!
There were 2 young guys W/ Russian accents. The guy with the paperwork had a GI Joe Kung Fu grip on that paperwork. He was not about to let go.
I managed to get it out of his hands and advise him that they were in violation of the do not call list and Calif civil code 1770. The dude paniced and they got the sheet back out of my hands. F!@#. Almost brawled with the guy!! but i let it go...
Oh well. Maybe next time they'll come from Ventura or Riverside.
Wouldn't it be funny if it were the same dudes.
And next time - The paperwork goes IN THE POCKET!!! Damn Me.
SCREW WITH THESE PEOPLE.
The government won't do crap. The Do Not Call list doesn't work!
THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT BACK IS TO MESS WITH THEM.
MAKE THE APPOINTMENT!! (To a neighbors house/apt)
Have Fun

This same number was in my cell phone as a missed call today. I have AT&T cellular and when I tried to call the number back I got a message from AT&T that said "a call to this number is not allowed.... Please call 611 for customer service...." I checked the internet for the number and found out that it was a telemarketing number, which led me here. Out of curiosity, I wonder what cell providers you have. I had Sprint for 10 years and NEVER had a telemarketing call on my cell phone. I just changed to AT&T this month and now I get this call ???? I hope this isn't going to continue or I'll have to change back to Sprint...and AT&T better not charge me for ending my contract early.

got the same thing today..on my cell
| Jim & Chris 2008-06-26 20:08:02 Unknown |
Same thing, except on my caller ID the phone number appeared with a + sign as a prefix, unusual as I hadn't seen that before. Our number is on the "no call" list as well and I've reported it.
| Mr Dick 2008-06-26 19:30:08 Telemarketer |
I get one or two of these calls a month. I usually press 1 and just F--- with the morons on the other end. But this time I was cool and collected and made an appt. for tomorrow. We will see if they show up. If they do, Hmmmm, i guess I will get business info and F--- with whoever shows up. I hope it's a reputable company. I will make sure they know they are in violation of federal and state laws.
Make the appointment. Send them to a neighbors house. WASTE THEIR TIME!!!!
The way I look at it - With gas at nearly $5 a gallon. Most of these idiots drive big vans loaded down with heavy equipment and supplies. I doubt they get more than 10-12 mpg. SEND THEM ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE!
WASTE THEIR MONEY.
WASTE THEIR TIME!! They waste ours... Right?
Good luck.
And have FUN!
And don't foget to report it to www.donotcall.gov
| MW 2008-06-26 19:11:35 Unknown |
Same call of a cleaning service! I WANT TO BE REMOVED FORM THE LIST! WONDER how they got my number! it's annoying!!! i want to be removed from their list
| weirdcalls 2008-06-26 18:24:28 Unknown |
Same number just called me and didn't leave a message. This is a cell phone that is not listed anywhere so seems strange they got it.

I received a call from this number: 213-341-6856
about 15 minutes ago. I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. They did not leave a message. About a few months ago, I received a couple of calls A DAY from L.A based numbers and they never left any voice mails. I checked all those numbers on websites like these and it looks like all those numbers are a SCAM. I filed a complaint with the FCC (you can do it on line, and may I suggest that you do!) and will keep watching my phone to see if I get any more calls likes this. I was happy when the calls stopped but it looks like they are starting back up again. By the way everyone, yes my number is on the "DO NOT CALL LIST" so why in the heck am I getting these way random calls? Again, FILE WITH THE FCC AND LETS PUT AN END TO THESE SILLY CALLS!!!!!

| diddo 2008-06-25 22:04:27 Unknown |

In California, a long-standing state law requires that prerecorded messages be introduced with a ?live? speaker before the recorded message can be played; however, compliance with this law has been nil.
California Civil Code 1770 states that the following unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices undertaken by any person in a transaction intended to result or which results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer are unlawful:
(22) (A) Disseminating an unsolicited prerecorded message by telephone without an unrecorded, natural voice first informing the person answering the telephone of the name of the caller or the organization being represented, and either the address or the telephone number of the caller, and without obtaining the consent of that person to listen to the prerecorded message.
Yet, consumer complaints to both PRC and UCAN indicate that this California law is flagrantly violated by telemarketers who use prerecorded messages. In considering whether to create an exemption so that companies can contact customers with EBRs using prerecorded messages, the Commission needs to take into consideration tactics historically employed by those in the direct marketing industry to avoid telemarketing laws.

Adding my two bits to this thread.
Got a call from the 213 341 6856 number regarding the carpet cleaning service. Now the thing is I have never in the last 5 years of having this phone numbers got a telemarketer call this. This january my data was stolen from my healthcare provider and someone filed tax returns using my SSN. After reading other posts on this thread about this number not being associated with any real telemarketer, I wonder if it has something to do with my ID theft.
| Bill 2008-06-25 19:40:11 Unknown |
I also have received calls from this number. My phone display adds a "+" sign before the number, which it doesn't add before most numbers. I wonder if ATT knows it's not a legit number?
| Albastar 2008-06-25 17:55:11 Unknown |
Just got a call from these A**holes on my pay-as-you-go cell phone--so this cost me money to receive!
I was getting these calls regularly at home a couple of months ago from a guy named "Steve."

Received a call from (213) 341-6856 as well. There was no message. I didn't pick up and decided to check this site. Thanks to all for info. I wont waste my time calling back.

Just got a call (on my CELL PHONE WHILE AT WORK)
from 213-341-6856. An automated voice said something like "Do you need your carpets cleaned, we are offering to steam clean your carpets for and hallway for free"
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE! THIS IS NOT A REAL CARPET CLEANING COMPANY!!!
