406-224-9004

This is a fake number. Another credit rate reduction fraud. Used illegal Robo call.

These phone calls are illegal.  They are resulting from one company that has sold your numbers out to a bunch of unscrupulous companies that are scam artists.

The company that sold your phone numbers is called:

telephonemanagement.net
toll-free (866) 708-0401
Telephone Management Building
2331 SW 5th Avenue
Portland, OR 97201-6303

Don't bother calling them, you'll get ahold of someone who seems VERY nice, who says they will help you, and "Oh yes (sir/ma'am) that is illegal and we will do our best to take care of this problem" but they don't do anything about it, and the calls continue.  

Would you like to fight back?  Well you can.  Here is what you do.

Right now for some crazy reason the Telephone Management Corp has an "A+" Better Business Burea Rating with the Better Business Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon & Western.  You can see it right here:

http://www.bbb.org/oregon/business-reviews/te ... and-or-50001744

Go to the BBB website and file a complaint:

https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/complaintlink.aspx

For "My Complaint Involves:" pick "a product or service (other than a vehicle or a cell phone)"

Go ahead and post your location on the next page, don't worry about putting your information there, the Better Business Bureau is a very reputable organization.

Next page, pick "Search By Phone" and enter 503-223-7747, then "next".

Select Telephone Management Corp and hit "Next"

On the next page, be sure to hit "Next" and NOT "Cancel"

The next page, pick all "No" for the different choices, provided you have not taken them to court yet.

Then the next page, enter your information.  Remember, it is important to get your information for the BBB to handle this case and get something done about this.  They are trustworthy.

The next page, Step 3, select "2331 SW 5th Ave Portland, OR Main Billing Complaint Mailing"

On the next page, pick "Customer Service Issues" and then "6-603 Innapropriate Behavior By Customer Service Personnel"

On the next page, go into great detail, describe how Telephone Management Corp has sold your phone number to fraudulent telemarketers, to autodialers, etc.  Explain that you are on the Do Not Call list (if you are) and also detail just how many calls you have recieved.

Explain that you want the company prosecuted for their behavior, that they do not deserve an A+ rating, that you will stand behind your complaint and that the company needs to pay for the illegal activities of those that they sell the numbers to.

PLEASE file the complaint.  Without complaints by good people like you there is nothing that will ever be done about these people and the phone calls will continue unchecked, they will NEVER stop.  Help bring them down!!!

Robo call from "American Health Alliance" offering health care deals to me and my family.

I keep getting these calls even though I'm on the do not call list. I want them stopped.

This Amy is Calling my telephone and I don't appreciate it.

I received a call on 12/8/10 at 2:54pm from a Tony who said a number to reach him at was 1-619-245-4967 (Us consumers alliance.) He was very nice and I asked to speak with a supervisor, he transferred me to a Mr. Richard Hero who was also very nice I again explained what was going on and he said will have number removed.

Got a call from this number, and when I picked up no one answered.

It this reason that I keep an airhorn (the kind used on boats or at stadium games) nearby.  As soon as they start their pitch I blast them.  Might not stop the calls but it makes me feel better and I'm sure it renders that ear useless for a while.  Besides, I figured I have given them more than enough chances to remove my number and stop calling me.

Valiant post but zero complaints so far. Another problem is TMC is a paid member of the BBB and BBB has a reputation of being *very* slow in marking down *PAYING* members.

Have received 7 calls from this number in the last 2 weeks.  Have never picked up.  I assume this is someone running a scam.

You are all doing it wrong, when you get these calls, answer them and say yes you are interested in whatever it is they have to sell. Spend the next 20 minutes giving them false information. False name, false address, ect. Just make it up as you go. Waste their time and when your tired of playing tell them that you wated their time and hang up. This is only way to get them to stop calling.......

Have received 4 calls in the last 2 days from 406-224-9004.  Have left no messages on v-mail, but will immediately hang up if I answer...Chicken Squats! Dial this number back and get recording "Thank you for calling back, if you wish to be removed from our preferred marketing list please press 1, please allow 72 hours for your number to be removed Thank you"  We shall see!

Got a bunch of calls for a person that does not live here. I explained that I have asked before to be removed from the list and that they are required to act on my request and the idiot on the line said, "oh well rules are meant to be broken".......I asked for a supervisor and he hung up, big surprise.

Received a call to extend my auto warranty.  They knew what I drove, but did not know the age of my vehicle which is a 1999 Ford Windstar.  They were happy to sell me a warranty good for 5 years or an additional 100,000 miles.  The total cost was 2918.00.  The book price on my van is 4000.00 and I would get that only if it was totaled.  Did you know cars rust badly in Iowa?  I said no and they reduced the price to 2200.00.  They had a way to sell me this product, 129.00 down on my credit card and different payment plans.  With the cost of this plan, 2200 - 2918, you have prepaid many of the possible repair costs.  Only if you need a new transmission or engine would this plan be worth it.  I told the caller I would rather apply the cost of the warranty with my Windstar as a trade for something newer.  I did research them and only found one complaint on the BBB website.  I believe they are legitimate, but very over priced.

WHAT the HELL?! I am on the DNC List. Completely BOGUS calls - multiple times ROBO too - filing with BBB and sending a complaint to the Registry.

i have gotten this call many times. twice i answered and a human said she was from some extended car waranty company. she knew my whole name and knew what car i drive. first time i said i wasnt interested. i got some more calls and i ignored them and twice i did answer and then they hung up before talking. the last time today, a human tallked to me again with my full name and knew my car and i said i didnt have time to talk. i noticed alot of people on here have different statements on who the caller is.

Today 1-4-2011 (2:05pm)
I got a call from : Montana 406-224-9004. It was a young guy. Never identified himself, or specified the reason he was calling. He asked for my husband by first name, didn't want to tell me what the call was all about. Just said that he will call back another time.
I'm also on DNC list and will file a report if the same guy or anybody else from that number dares to call back.

Got a call from a local caller. Answered, they hung up. I called back. Disconnected. (Amazing! They are picking dead numbers to supposedly call from so even our Caller ID is worthless!

20 minutes later, got a call from 406-478-2002. They say they are with CARD SERVICES. I know this area code to be from Montana where I have many relatives. So I push 1 to talk to an agent (OH BOY!). I ask where they're company is located. Miami, FL she says. We continue and I get as far as when she "qualifies me" and asks them to further qualify my eligibility to have my interest rate reduced to 6.9% by asking me for my MC acct # beginning with a number 5. Well, I don't give that kind of info out unless I originate the call, I say. And then I ask her for their number so I can quick call them back and at least verify they are on US shores. She said they don't give out that info except to qualified customers. So, I say, if I want to do business with you and I, say, look up online for debt reduction services and find their website there won't be a number for me to call? She says, Let me find out from a manager. I hear no muffled phone. No hold music. I hear call center chatter. I waited about 2 minutes and then the line went dead. I'm so sick of this and having to spend time trying to fight these people. We need a plan to combat them and I think it starts with our phone servicers. If these jokers are able to trip up the Caller ID system, then that at least is a start for some progress. Going to the FTC I think is fruitless as they are bombarded with this crap and are only going after big fishies, not bottom feeders.
