Computerized phone call from carpet cleaning service
Received a prerecorded message. "Hi my name is Allison from Capet Cleaners." It then preceded to tell me about a special in my area. It said to press 1 to schedule an appointment and press 8 to be removed from the list. The first time I pressed 8.
I received a call from the same prerecorded message the next day. I pressed 1 to speak to a representative and I was disconnected when I asked to be removed from the list.
I filled an FCC complaint. My cell phone provider can not block the number and the FCC only issues fines on a "trend" basis. In other words you must report this company in order to have them fined and shut down.
I also pressed 8 to get taken off list — didn't work.
This must be a bogus caller ID because I tried to file a complaint with FCC online and it wouldn't let me complete the form — says "invalid number" when I plug in (212) 555 1000.
My advice: next time try to talk to the person try and book an appointment and call 9 on my side.
Also got two calls from them, Aug. 7 and 8 at 7pm. Also filed an FCC complaint, so maybe we'll start a "trend." I hit the button to "arrange an appointment," asked what their name is, and was told "Best Carpet."
I've received a lot of calls from "Best Carpet Cleaning" and I've been on the donotcall list for 3 years. Today I got another call which showed up as "212 555 1000" which is fake. Btw, one of their real numbers is 888-279-6050. I urge you to use it and complain to them as often as they call you ;-)
Same thing here. Called at 3:00pm by the carpet service. Selected 8 to be removed from the list and was immediately disconnected. I have been on the Do Not Call list for ages.
If they call back, I'm tempted to make an appointment and waste their time.
Received a prerecorded message. "Hi my name is Allison from Capet Cleaners." I didn't listen any further than that. A complaint will be filed with FCC.
