Something to keep in mind about all these continuing bothersome calls for surveys, so called charities and so called charity pickups despite asking them to remove you from their list:
Call centers have sprung up in my town that make use of the survey and the charity loophole around the do not call list; they have been a headache for law enforcement, emergency services, neighboring businesses and residential areas. When I ask any patrolling officer in town about these call centers, they are quick to state their frustrations about the criminal activity that some of these call centers have brought into the area. Several law enforcement agencies regularly visit some of these call centers looking for warrant arrests etc. I have heard from sources including from frustrated employees that work for these call centers complaining about the drug activity, vandalism of cars and neighboring businesses, break-ins and theft, drinking while on the job, smoke breaks are actually marijuana breaks, drunk driving, very dangerous driving, tons of tossed out litter of empty liquor containers, trash, food etc. I?ve even heard that the mangers are also involved in criminal activities and have even preyed on their legitimate employees who are simply trying to eek out a living on horrible wages. Also the operators are untrained in a very high turn around, poorly managed and dysfunctional work environment.
Also realize this when you call a companies? customer service line and get horrible service from the call center that?s been hired by the company. One time while on a call with our bank?s customer service, the operator was so loopy that it required ending the call and calling again to try and get someone else to help, think about that when you call a companies? customer service and the conversation gets odd, off the wall and obtuse ? you may be talking to an operator that?s drunk or on something. After 6 months of getting a different and wrong answer to our ongoing problem each time we called our bank?s call center, we gave up and closed the account.
With so little police left in our town due to cutbacks, they can?t always respond to vandalism and break-ins when it?s witnessed as they have their plate full responding to the major emergencies, this allows the criminal activity free reign, the neighborhood becomes the hood. Some insurance companies require proof of private security patrols before they will honor a claim due to vandalism or theft leaving the neighboring businesses off guard and uncovered. These businesses also have the added cost to hire private security, install security systems/monitoring, upgrade lighting etc. Then there are the dangers and headaches to the nearby businesses employees such as their cars being vandalized or broken into. Some businesses simply give in, pickup and move out of town.
One of my neighbors owns a call center and he requires that his operators are bonded, but I guess there?s no laws requiring this ? there should be. Right now in my town it seems like anybody can start up a call center and hire questionable labor for cheap without much regulation.
I my efforts the past several years to try and get something done, I am most struck by the fact that there?s no real help, everyone is more worried about being sued than dealing with the obvious problem - you are on your own....

Try Google Voice. It's free, and let's you blacklist phone numbers. It also has a lot of other great free features.
| Boring 2012-04-30 15:36:21 Unknown |
They call me every day. Numerous times a day. On my home phone and on my cell phone. I have no credit cards and they want to reduce my interest rates. Bogus. Scam. It doesn't matter that all my phones are on my state and on the country Do Not Call registry. They don't care. Don't talk to these people. All the numbers are in my contact list under "scum" and "more scum" and have their own special ring tone. I have filed complaint after complaint and will not waste my time any more.

AGAIN! THIS IS A PERSISTANT, RECORDED CALL! I AM REGISTERED WITH THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST SO HOW THE HECK DO THESE IDIOTS GET THEIR CALLS THROUGH? THEY ALSO USE OTHER NUMBERS: 407-480-9999
| Lisa 2012-04-27 17:34:11 Unknown |
A number were a automated message says you can lower your interest rates
| JWhite 2012-04-26 14:31:25 Unknown |
I have received these calls on and off for months. They speak of "urgent" and "credit" and the overall tone of the robocall is alarming. I am on the National Do Not Call Registry and they are in violation of it. Please report these jokers if you are too: https://complaints.donotcall.gov

| Monica 2012-04-24 23:50:19 Unknown |
Apparently people are mixing up my number (which is 1 digit off) with this 503-902-8482 and calling me. UGG...I'm calling the attorney general and complaining.
| SPT 2012-04-24 22:41:58 Unknown |
PacificTel is a boiler room operation...the FTC is closing them down, but like a mole these slimeballs pop up again. They are the lowest forms of humanity...lying to their own grandmothers. record and send every call to the FTC.
| Vanessa 2012-04-24 22:34:44 Unknown |
This number calls all the time. I usually hang up. One time I told them I have no credit cards. They hang up.
I do have a couple, but only to rebuild my credit, and that is none of there buisness..
| neilbilly 2012-04-24 21:55:16 Unknown |
Pre-recorded message offering to lower my interest rates on my credit cards. The same bunch was using a number in Washington State and now they are using a cell number in Oregon. If I find them they will regret surviving Roe v Wade

I am getting calls regarding credit card changes from this number daily! My number is a business line
| Matt 2012-04-24 21:41:57 Telemarketer |
A robocall. Calls repeatedly. "There is nothing wrong with your credit card..."
| Mitch 2012-04-24 21:14:17 Unknown |
... because it is for the Florida attorney general; I am in Colorado.
| Mitch 2012-04-24 21:13:13 Unknown |
Apparently 1-866-966-7226 for the attorney general cannot be reached from my calling area ??
| Mitch 2012-04-24 21:10:58 Telemarketer |
I have the same problem with the same two numbers - 5039028482 and 5039028479. I called FTC Complaint # 1-877-382-4357 and filed a complaint. I am about to call the attorney general #1-866-966-7226.

My Sears Master Card is serviced by Citi Bank. Anyone else have an account with Cit Bank? I am looking for a common thread here.
| Ted 2012-04-24 20:14:18 Telemarketer |
Does anyone have a Sears Master Card? I didn't start receiving these calls prior to obtaining this card.

This number comes up on my Comcast Digital caller I.D. as V04241551270208 from 503-902-8482. I never answer and they call at least 5 times a week. I can only block up to 12 numbers and I have maxed it out because companies like this keep calling from different numbers. So annoying.
| LBradley 2012-04-24 19:55:28 Unknown |
Got a recorded message just after 1:30pm Mtn. Time from 503-902-8482.
Called FTC per Melissia's suggestion and filed a complaint.
I answered call 2 weeks ago and did press 3 to remove my # from their list.
I think the company will keep calling.
Sometimes we get a call from area code 503 and no message is left. I used to think someone
was dialing our area code 303 by mistake when there was no message, but not anymore.
| Do Not Call 2012-04-24 19:53:18 Unknown |
I am receiving daily recorded calls from 503-902-8482 Pacifictel saying that there is no problem with my credit card but it is urgent that I get in touch with them. I am on the "do not call register" and would like to report them for soliciting.
| STOP CALLING ME 2012-04-24 19:53:17 Telemarketer |
SCAM CALL. I don't even have a credit card. This caller is in violation of CO state telemarketing rules. PLEASE HELP, this company will not stop calling me year after year. Does not leave info or allow to be removed from call lists. Automated caller. CO NO CALL VIOLATION
| Light 2012-04-24 19:45:45 Telemarketer |
I get a call from this number at least twice a week. It sounds like something to do with some credit card company but I don't even own a credit card. How do I stop them from calling?
| annoyed 2012-04-24 19:14:06 Unknown |
received call and robo-voice message left.
something about "your credit account if fine right now, but could you call back at this number...."
no caller id - company not identified
| melissia 2012-04-24 17:21:03 Telemarketer |

| Liz 2012-04-24 16:09:06 Unknown |
correction, showed 'PacificTel', rather than Wireless Caller on Caller ID.
| Liz 2012-04-24 16:01:53 Unknown |
Also have received calls from this -8482 and -8479. Don't answer calls from unknown numbers. On Do Not Call registry, for what that's worth. Just shows 'Wireless Caller' in Caller ID.
| Nik 2012-04-24 15:39:13 Unknown |
All you need to do, is save it on your caller i.d. like i did. That is evidence also.
| Crystal 2012-04-24 13:31:44 Unknown |
They leave me messages almost everyday!
