i do not want to have any calls re surveys of any kind~
| TimeForAction 2012-08-02 14:36:19 Unknown |
Except a lot of the time the 'companies' supposedly offering the deal either don't exist, are defunct, or have no clue or control over the fact that their name is being used to make a scam appear somewhat legitimate. : )
| TimeForAction 2012-08-02 14:33:57 Unknown |
On some of the sites I reviewed via a google search, it is not necessarily a cruise sale; it may appear as such up front, but that at the end of the day, they are looking for your pertinent information or for you to send a cheque in, etc. etc. In one case, a person following through on the businesses they identified found the 'cruise line' was defunct. : ) Don't be one of the suckers born every minute.
| TimeForAction 2012-08-02 14:27:46 Unknown |
But whether they are exempt in this case is most likely moot, as the calls are scam based anyways. Honestly, nothing is free in this world. I had to laugh. The one I received said it was a 30 second survey. I decided since the number had been coming in so much to use it as afternoon's adventure, and followed it through until I obtained a life person. The '30 second survey' became longer of course, and the questions were a little bizarre. And being I am in Canada, the second one really made little sense. When I got the 'live person', I suggested I 'fear' it was a scam, and of course she 'assured' me that was not the case. But having run in two elections, I can tell you, this is bogus. For me at least, when I tried to access the Independent Survey Group, the link would not activate. I hear others have gotten through at one time or another. But I am sure they 'adapt' their creative but clutzy style to accommodate the changing base of pissed off 'prospective clients'. I really want to believe that most people who follow through with the survey (indeed silly me for being too bored one day) are only doing so out of curiosity and the desire to 'nail them' even if only on the phone. To actually expect a free cruise is ludicrous. I will go back to ignoring the number. This time, I had rushed for the phone as it was on it's last ring before going to the message system, so I did not bother to look to see who it was. But indeed, it is / was the same number that over MONTHS had been calling, and of course leaving no message. And I don't recommend giving them your number to be taken off the list or if you can actually get to it, doing so on their site; you are just taking the bait! Although I may now get more calls, at least 'in the moment' it was therapeutic. I loved this line to my comment that I was a career counsellor and if not a scam that she would benefit from looking for a new job. "I don't need you to tell me that I need a new job; I love my job!" She must be a glutton for punishment either way. Or sadly, it is lucrative for them as there are indeed suckers out there.

I keep getting calls from various numbers with the Washington 360 prefix, Since I know no one in that state, please block all calls from that area code. 360- 460-5984;360-461-4895;360 460- 3586.
| Sharon Weber 2012-06-27 15:12:31 Unknown |
They call our fax number and home phone sometimes twice a day. No message. I have called the number and it says temporarily out of service. We are on the do not call list. Would like to get rid of the calls.
| Beverly 2012-06-27 14:07:03 Survey |
I get these calls repeatedly. TO my home, to my Cell, to my work number. i want THESE TO STOP

PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!
YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE IS CALLING YOUR SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER.
THEY DID NOT. THEY DID NOT CALL YOUR NUMBER SPECIFICALLY.
YOU WERE RANDOMALLY "ROBO" CALLED WITH A SPOOFED PHONE NUMBER ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.
Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:
There are several companies engaged in scam business using auto dialers. They are ALL scam outfits. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number you searched for is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of these companies. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, that try to scam innocent victims. They are either owned by the same people, or they sell their business model to other crooks.
One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, carpet cleaning, political surveys, free cruises, and more. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints to them are worthless. They will continue to call you.
They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.
BEING ROBO CALLED BY A COMPUTER IS A FEDERAL CRIME. NEED WE SAY MORE?
If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..." or "The is an important call from your cardmember services. This is your Final Notice. We have been trying to contact you?." The message about carpet cleaning begins "This is Diane, would like your carpet professionally steamed cleaned?"
These crooks can be beaten! Here is an example of what happens if ALL OF US contribute to taking them down by following the steps below:
http://www.justice.gov/usao/gan/press/2012/02-09-12.html
So, now you want to get these crooks. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? If you want to stop these crooks do the following:
:
1) You need to speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty, having your carpets cleaned, etc. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Do not ask how they "got" you number. (Remember, your number was randomly dialed by a computer)
Tell them you have $20,000 in credit card debt. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. If the call is about the auto warranty scam, tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. Or tell them you have 15 rooms of beautiful plush wall to wall carpet. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.
Your goal is simple. You want to engage them in friendly conversation to keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be nice and friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info during casual conversation. You will need this (see below). Often when pressed for questions, they will hang up on you. Remember, they are instructed to do this. That is why you must not be confrontational. Be friendly and act as if you are genuinely interested.
Get the name of the company, and if you can, the city where they are located. Most of these scam companies are either in Florida, or in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.
Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time. But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?
Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:
http://www.419eater.com.
2) Get the details of these scumbags and post it on this and every other website you can find. Use only the information you get from talking from their representatives and information you get from public sources. DO NOT POST THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR CALLER ID. Their numbers were spoofed and they are victims.
3) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
You can also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the links below to see how effective this can be.
If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money.

Let me tell you how I helped defeat a former scam company. Versadebt, that changed its name to VP Marketing, was scamming victims for years. I found the name of their company through conversation with one of their stupid representatives. And not only did I report them to the FCC and FTC each time, I also posted their contact information on the internet to make it easier for everyone to report.
Here is a story from Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA that tells how WE took down VP Marketing, just one scam operation. Over 100,000 complaints were received by the FTC:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team:-vp-marketing-sued-021710
If you get the name of the company, here is how you can find their information if located in Georgia, with the search engine of the Georgia Department of State:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp
For example looking up VP Marketing, the former scam outfit, we see that it is owned by Jason Eyer, the dirt bag shown in the Fox 5 video. Here is how you can contact this person, courtesy of public records filed with the Georgia Department of State:
Jason Eyer
1603 Mosaic Way
Smyrna, GA 30080
407-902-1950
407-902-9377
And here is the most satisfying evidence of how we can defeat and destroy these scumbag scammers:

Remember:
1) Be friendly and pretend to be interested
2) Try to get the name of the company
3) Research the name of the company using public records
4) Post the name of the company everywhere on the internet
4) Report them to the FCC, the FTC, and the state Attorney General's office

Robocall. Asked to complete short 30sec survey and then I won a trip to Bahamas. Fat chance of that so I hung up. Not the first time they've called. Group with very similar name, Ind Sur Group, called from different number 206-496-0948

| SweetTX 2012-06-06 16:26:02 Unknown |
I have done it like 76 times...they call my cell phone at least 10 times a day. I wish the #1 option worked
| POA=POS 2012-06-06 16:05:06 Survey |
Got a call from 206-496-0948 because I eventually gave in and called back call from 360-474-3939. Of course, I got the recorded message from POA others have mentioned. Guess I'm going to get more calls if I don't block number(s) or get a compliant to the right party (not likely from reading these and other posts). I read one website that mentioned "scambaiting"...may look into that.
That or maybe if enough people search for Political Opinions of America and/or these numbers and put some Homeland Security "buzzwords" in their searches...the FBI may get involved.
Think I may start with Political Opinions of America and TAX EVASION...that usually is what takes down criminals!
