303-786-9500 called.... nothing showed on call id... She asked for my boss by name.... I immidiately look up the this number,, and found that it is a research firm.... I then told her that my boss wasn't available... She said may I speak to his assistant or secretary... I said this is she... She said I just need to verify some info in order to send him a free subcription of our magazine.... I said thank for calling, he wouldn't be interested!   She said okay....

I didn't bother answering, but these clowns called me like 3 times on a freakin' SATURDAY fer cryin' out loud!

Glad I don't answer numbers I don't know--and thank Khrist for google! (and this site)

:-)

I get over 50 calls a month from all sorts of scammers and or telemarketers. About 6 months ago I bought a 'Privacy Call Center' from 'http://www.digitone.com/' and it's incredible. You can list all your friends and loved ones numbers and even a specific area code and prefix's to allow, and they will ring and pass thru unobstructed. All others will be asked to enter an extension number of the party they want to speak to, and then will be disconnected. It catches every single unwanted call. I've had months of peace and quiet. Our number ends in a 0001 and it's obviously a big hit with these bottom feeders. I don't work for digitone and this is strictly an unsolicited testimonial. Good luck!

Please block this number

I received a ph call at 8:24 AM, C.S.T., and then again at 9:25 AM C.S.T. this morning from these jerks. (Rec'd junk ph call from - [303-786-9500] - re: some subscription. We're not interested, drop us off your junk call list, never call us again! - [18 secs.])

MANY COMPLAINTS AT:

I did not recognize number and did not answer.  Other information on other sites, quote them as being rude and other unprofessional conduct.  

Here's the scoop, so to speak.  They've found a loophole for telemarketers, by sometimes saying they are a research survey company.  This keeps the donotcall.gov and possibly FTC.gov off their backs.  I say file complaints on them anyway.  

Another place to file a complaint is with the Federal Communications Commission.  The rules they govern are stricter.  I believe it is complaint # 1008, or something like that.  It's been a few days since I filed a complaint on another number.

FCC doesn't mess with complaints; and my complaints in the past have always been investigated!!!  

FTC and donotcall, place complaints on a list, and will investigate, file charges if they see a pattern.  So everyone needs to file complaints, so that there will be a definite pattern!.

Anyone have problems with Collection Agencies calling?  There are laws to protect Consumers from these jerks.  #1, they technically do not have any authority.  They usually purchase charged off bills, from other creditors for pennies on the dollar.  #2, because the bill is with an original creditor, you are NOT obligated to these jerks.  They will try to convince you that you are.  #3 the only way you become obligated to these agencies, is if you make payment arrangements with them; thereby creating a contract/agreement, where none exist, when they first contact you!!!

If you answer the phone,  simply say:"I do not discuss financial matters by phone - send me a statement in writing and I will respond to it."  Then Hang up!!!  Otherwise, they will have you completely shaken!!!  The longer they keep you on the line, the more chance they have, to get money from you including payment arrangements – or payment agreement/contract!!!  You are NOT legally obligated to talk to them!!!

Collection agencies are ruthless jerks!!!  They will tell you they are the original creditor when they are not - even though it is illegal, for them to do it, per Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  You can legally sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.

When you do get a statement - google "FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT" One or more online Attorney websites will be shown.  These websites will have valuable information, including a Cease & Desist sample letter; or a Cease Communication letter.  Once received, it is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, to contact you further.

You can also educate yourself by reading Consumer Protection Laws at www.ftc.gov;  a lot of valuable information.  Don’t have time,  download and read later.  You will be glad you did!!!

I am not an Attorney - just an Educated Consumer, in Consumer Protection Laws.  I have spent hours studying these laws and becoming familiar with them.  They have helped us and friends/family as well; and hopefully it will help someone, who reads this.

And for those self-righteous criticizers, who say, just pay your bills on time; things happen to people with Credit Card debt, medical bills etc., often beyond their control such as job loss, divorce, death, illness etc. and you find your self in a bind.  We've been there, we know.  You do not plan to pay late, or not make payments; but if the income quits - there's not a whole lot one can do!  You then are forced to prioritize, Mortgage, Utilities, Car payment then food, if you can!  Other things have to be let go!  

I hope this information will be helpful to somebody who reads it!!!  Also another site to check out is www.ccdnlaw.com, good information.  And they can help you!!!  If you fill out the contact us, put down your referral by tlcpetmommy – in the comments section;  they will know who I am!!!

Caller ID: unknown name
Caller: unknown
Caller Type: Telemarketer

Something I forgot to mention in my last post: According to FCC rules, which again tend to be stricter than FTC rules for collection agencies, etc. they CAN"T call on Saturdays or Sundays!!!  And during the week they are restricted to 8 am - 9 pm hours only!!!

We need to report and file complaints!!!  Be sure to mention in your complaint, you have had no business contact, or given permission for these jerks to call your phones!

Again hope my posts are helpful for someone out there!

They called me last night with a "survey."  I'm sure it is a ploy to get around the Do Not Call List.  I asked him for his home number so I could call and ask him my own survey questions.

These people have tried to call repeatedly, the number but not the name was given on the Caller ID. The caller said he was representing Hickenbotham Research. Is this legit?

Called again last night.

06/17/2008 - These fools called at 6:18 PM. I did not answer.

I had 2 missed calls from them, so I came on here to check it out.
I finally was able to pick up today when they called.  It was someone from one of the trade magazines I subscribe to.  It was legit, they just want to make sure that you read them, I suppose they don't want to bother printing them if you're just throwing them out, or not recieving them.

I have received dozens of calls from this number, always asking for the same person (who does not have this phone #, and who I do not know).

Called this morning and again asked to speak with the unknown person.  I told that there was not and had never been a person by that name at my number (which I have had for 15 years), and that he was calling my cell phone, and that he had purchased a phone list with bogus #'s on it and never to call again.  He said he would mark down it is a wrong #.  But that is the same thing they told me when they called last week, and the week before that, etc., etc.

A woman called asking for the CEO by name.  He was out of the office.  I asked if I could help her.  She wanted to know if we had an in house print facility.  I answered "no" and she said "thank you" and "good-bye".
