Someone, please put "paid" to Pacific Telecom Communications. Ph-leeze! This time the Caller ID showed Student Loan H... I paid off all my student loans in 2002, and have paid cash for all my school costs ever since. They are picking on the wrong person.

Just got a call from this # and I just picked up, (after hanging up with my son and I just thought it was my son calling right back) so I didn't look at the ID and a recorded message said "hello, the FBI and something about your home" and I just hung up.

This guy also blocks his number, and will call five, six times in the time it takes to dial your number. To me, this indicates this guy is mentally unstable.
| Louise 2012-08-21 16:04:34 Unknown |
Between this number and 202-354-8935 I have over 35 calls to my cell. Once I answered and a guy was trying to ramble something off in his interpretation of English. I told him I could not understand him, hung up. This happened to me about four months ago and I don't know if coincidence or not, but my cell and desktop are synched and my security had been breached, which I had thought I have just gotten back to normal. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS GUY...GIVE NO INFO. Not that I did, but why help. Please put this person outta here.

I was also defrauded by 29'Prime
Hello,
Thank you for your blog site.
I am emailing to let you know that I also was a victim of 29'Prime.
I was called by 29'Prime on April 17, 2012, and given a sales pitch that they could place my website on Google Page 1 (for a minimum of 3 out of 10 keywords) and of course I was a little doubtful, but I listened to their guarantees ("Rank On Google Page One in 60 Days...or IT's FREE".
So I decided to try them out.
Their initial Set-up charge on my credit card was $299.
The following day, April 18th, they called me to remind me and clarify that I would be receiving a Google Postcard with a 5 digit PIN from Google, and that I MUST call them immediately upon receipt of my Google PIN for them to activate my account and begin the SEO for my 10 keywords.
Again I asked how long this would take, and he replied 3-5 days, at the most, and to make sure that I called 29'Prime as soon as I got it.
I then asked him again, how long will it then take for my site to rank on Google Page One? and he confirmed that it could take up to 60 days, but often some of my keywords would rank sooner, even in 30 days or less.
Again I asked him to confirm that if they could not get at least 3 of my keywords to rank on page one in the 60 days, their service was FREE ... and he assured me that the 29'Prime Guarantee was exactly that: "Rank On Google Page One in 60 Days...or it's FREE".
Later that same day a charge of $99 appeared on my credit card statement (apparently for the first month's 'service charge').
Four days later I had not yet received my Google PIN, so I emailed them a service ticket...immediately received a service ticket auto-confirmation response...but no one ever personally replied or answered my questions, and no one ever called me to resolve my inquiry!
One month after signing up, May 17th, I still had not received my Google PIN.
Later that same day a charge of $99 appeared on my credit card statement (apparently for the second month's 'service charge').
So I sent another email service ticket...and again I received the same auto-responder service-ticket auto-confirmation response...but no one ever personally replied or answered my questions, and no one ever called me to resolve my inquiry!
19 days later, May 26th, I finally got fed-up with them totally ignoring me and emailed the following:
"I am extremely frustrated and angry at the total lack of service from 29 Prime...
Since my initial payments of $299 on Apr 17th and $99 on Apr 18th, I had waited for 29 days for your postcard with my PIN number to arrive in order to activate my account!
Nothing had come...
Another payment of $99 was taken from my credit card again today, May 17th, and still nothing has been done with my account.
So I had by then already spent $497, with absolutely nothing to show for.
So I wrote you an e-mail with my displeasure and also placed a service ticket (#21928) to get an answer, but no one ever responded!
I was completely ignored...
So after patiently waiting for another 8 days, with no response from anyone human, I received an automatic auto-responder canned e-mail!
Your service is absolutely non existent and deplorable. You should be utterly ashamed!
It is now 38 days and I still have not received my PIN or even one single courtesy or follow-up call from any one at 29 Prime...
This is terribly and shamefully unprofessional behavior.
I have been in the construction service industry 30 years and I personally respond to every call within 8-12 hours, by myself, with no secretaries.
Your total lack of response is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable.
This morning, May 26th, I finally made a phone call and waited, and was finally told that I was now first in line in the queue when a recorded message directed me to leave a voice message, so I opted for speaking with a service consultant, and waited, and repeated the process twice, and waited, and waited, until finally I could wait no longer and left a voice message...but no one responded to my message either.
I now have come to realize that 29 Prime cannot be relied upon or trusted at all. Your service really stinks!
I am so incensed with 29 Prime...yet I am still by the grace of God restraining my anger...for now...
I actually trusted your promise: "Front Page Placement Or It's FREE"!
Well the reality and the fact is that I already paid out $497 and 29 Prime has done absolutely nothing for me in 38 days, not even activated an account.
This is absolutely disgusting and totally intolerable!
NOT ONE SINGLE thing was done! An Absolute BIG FAT ZERO?
EXCEPT TAKE MY MONEY !
I thus demand a FULL REFUND of all my monies paid to date...and an immediate termination of any further or future payments ever again.
PLEASE REVERSE ALL AMOUNTS CHARGED TO MY CREDIT CARD IMMEDIATELY
- ALL CHARGES UP TO THIS DATE - ALL $497 - AND NOT ONE RED CENT LESS -
AND DO NOT EVER APPLY ANY FUTURE CHARGES - EVER AGAIN -
YOU DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO KEEPING YOUR PROMISE
I DEMAND A FULL REFUND - NOW - - IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH ?
Furious,

Peter L Brenner?
Well, as usual... that was totally ignored as well, just like all of my other attempts.
8 days later, June 4th, I sent another email cancellation notice, and again was ignored on my third attempt.
I realized that in 2 weeks they would again be charging my credit card with another $99 for their 'monthly service charge' so I then called my credit card company to bar this merchant and stop 29'Prime from taking any more money from my account, and also initiated a dispute to reverse the first 3 charges (total of $497) for NON-PERFORMANCE of so-called services. So Mastercard proceeded to reverse these 3 charges on my behalf. Boy was I relieved!!!
The next day, surprise, surprise! I got an email from 29'Prime ...
Never got any responses before this, not even once, until I finally cut them off and got the 3 previous charges reversed...!
They had the gall to sound surprised as to 'Why I had Cancelled?"
So I sent them a long email with all of the service tickets' numbers and finally they responded by email that they had closed my account and confirmed that my account was now shutdown.
And yet the "push-button Template webpage" they had put up for my so-called personal account, was still live, and still is today (August 13th, 2012) as of this writing.
Then about two weeks ago the BAD NEWS came that 29'Prime had sent my credit card company a 12 page record of service performance and Mastercard had re-billed my account with the 3 original charges, and I was out $497 ...
I have tried several times to dispute these fraudulant charges with Mastercard, but they insist that since I voluntarily gave 29'Prime my card number and agreed to their TOS that I am on the hook...
In order to re-open my dispute I now have to prove to Mastercard that 29'Prime DID NOT perform the service as per their Terms Of Service, by providing an unbiased Third Party letter on that company's letterhead, providing a documented Second Opinion to the improbability of 29'Prime ever achieving their promises, demonstrating they did not perform the service, and that they violated their TOS...(since I paid for 60 days but nothing at all was done), and only then can my dispute be re-opened, with no guarantee that I will get my money back.
So the long and short is that I have been screwed out of my $497...
29'Prime is a scam and they will try to take you for as much money as they can.
Please beware?Stay away from them like the plague.
I sure would love to get these crooks behind bars, where they can no longer scam innocent business owners, but first must try to help all of us victims to get some of our stolen money back while we still can.

Received call from 206-496-0928 and since they did not leave a message and after reading the report here about this phone number - I'm programming this phone number into my Uniden answering machine to BLOCK. This means my answering machine will not answer this call in the future, it will not even bother me with ringing. I believe Panasonic also makes such answering machines.
| Lou 2012-08-08 15:18:23 Telemarketer |
Get on do not call list. Those already on it, file a complaint everytime you get an unwanted call. The company making the calls will get fined if they continue.
| Big A 2012-08-07 19:48:35 Telemarketer |
Called to day about losing my Google listing and how important it is and yada yada yada. I started cursing them and calling them scammers and terrorists as soon as the recording came on. Funny when it came time and I hit 1 to curse out a live person it wouldn't take it, tried three times, then it said to be removed hit 2 so I did that. I figure somebody was probably listening and didn't want to deal with me. We shall see what happens.
| guest 2012-08-07 19:45:34 Unknown |
Call the number back and press 1 when they tell you to to be removed from the call list.
| Chef Linda 2012-08-06 22:51:58 Telemarketer |
I keep getting calls from this number but they are talking in Spanish which I don't speak. I just added them to my contacts as "Don't Answer! BS Telemarketers!" They will never get me to answer again. It's a waste of my Cell Phone minutes.
| unknown 2012-08-06 14:16:13 Unknown |
I just got a scam call on my cell from this number. Block from your phones if you can. These people need to get a life... a real one!
| dreamathis 2012-08-01 21:19:40 Unknown |
Thank u 2 every1 who has posted complaints on this #. Their calls have been highly annoying & no matter how many times I have told them I HAVE NO GOOGLE ACCOUNT they preceed 2 call daily on both of my husbands bussiness phones. @least I know who they r & what they r truely about after reading these complaints.
| flrgrl 2012-08-01 16:13:13 Unknown |
They just called here and I didn't answer. I am running out of space on my blocked call list. I think the do not call list is not doing it's job. Might be cheaper for the government if they just funded a way for us to block all of these people on our own. We pay for phone service, so we should be able to decide not to have these jerks bother us!

I do not answer any calls from 206-496-XXXX. They are scam calls. The caller did not leave a message.

Wow! How exciting!
My business line caller ID says Washington!!
I was so excited I didn't answer.
| Annoyed in So CA 2012-07-24 21:42:42 Telemarketer |
I get calls from this company nearly every day between 1pm and 3 pm. The call shows up on my caller ID as "Washington". I have asked them repeatedly to remove me from their calling list. I tell them I am on the Do Not Call registry. I have filed numerous complaints with the registry asking them to investigate, but have gotten no feedback. I'm very annoyed.

Tired of these calls. I have asked to be taken off their let 15 times. They wont do it.

I had a hang up call to my answering machine @4:37PM on July 16, 2012. Having read some of the other posts, it's interesting to me that I am a home owner with no interest in any internet or google services beyond home use. Why would they even call me?
Caller ID shows Washington.
| josh 2012-07-13 21:29:09 Prank Call |
This Guy called and I asked if they charge fee or monthly fees he replied " no ".
Further conversation rooted a $189.00 setup fee good for life. I replied I thought there wasn't a fee. He stated that I didn't ask that then he called me an idiot and hung up.
Well I know who the idiot is.
| Karen 2012-07-13 15:20:41 Telemarketer |
I just emailed

And told them about this number. Hopefully if enough of us complain something will be done about it!
We are on the Do Not Call registry and it doesnt seem to do anything . . . its very aggravating!

This is a scam but good luck getting any help stopping them. There is no way to stop them doesn't matter if you are a bussiness or have a personal number or a cell. The Phone Company is a joke even if you have a number that is unlisted have caller block. Guess what they don't tell you call block dont work for out of state numbers or 1800 numbers. Its a joke It doesn't even help if you are on the national don't call list because the government doesn't stand behind what they say about the don't call list. They can call you anytime day or night. They could care less if your in a wheel chair or if they use up all your cell phone time. Telemarketer are people who are lazy and don't know what it is to work a real job. They are dumb with no education and most are not american and we americans pay for their kids educations and food and anything else they need. The way I see it they are stupid lazy bums looking for a free hand out and they need to go crawl back under the rock you came out of.
