Did you get a call from 415-555-1000? Read the posts below to find out details about this number.
Also report unwanted calls to help identify who is using this phone number.
I saw the phone # on caller idea and wondered what it could be. I decided to let the answering machine pick up, but then the call disconnected, maybe because it was getting an answering machine? I am also on the DNC list. I decided to Google the phone number and that's how I found these posts.
I have been getting these calls for months, as has my next-door neighbor.
We have decided to make appointments then not answer the door if someone shows up.
I found a case in another state where the AG brought a case against a similar scam, and they settled for $10,000. I fail to see why the CA AG cannot go after these jerks.
I'm in San Francisco and when I called to make an appointment and asked what company it was they responded, "Stanley Steamer." I made the appointment, for a special of $43.00. When he was finished the bill came to over $400.00. It looks like these frauds can do whatever they want and get away with it. I'll be submitting a complaint with the city's DA office, but based on the reviews here it doesn't look too promising.
I keep getting these same calls as well. I pressed 1 today to talk to someone and a woman answered and said "Fast Carpets". I asked to be removed from their calling list and she hung up.
Like the other people who have posted, I receive at least 2 calls a month from "Dave" and most of the time just hang up. Once I pressed 1 and told the woman I was on the DNC list. She hung up. Today I asked for the name of the company and she responded "Best Carpet." I asked for a number so I could contact them. She hung up.
Without a caller ID number, don't see that the feds can do much.
Like another person, I thought about making an appointment for a time when I would not be home. Unfortunately, I suspect that the poor person who is sent out has no idea about the lousy and illegal tactic that is being used, so I am hesitant to use that strategy.
At least the 3rd call - Alison Carpet Cleaning - offering a "special offer". I pressed 1 and told them we're on no call list -and they hung up. I will report them.
Got a call on my cell phone today from the number (949)614-0045, with the same carpet cleaning special offer recording...
i pressed one to make an appt, and when i asked the girl where they got my number, she said "on a bathroom wall"... in disbelief, i said, "you mean to tell me you guys saw my number on the wall of a bathroom and decided to offer me carpet cleaning services?"
she replied, "well if your number is on the bathroom wall, you must be doing something right"... i asked for her supervisor and she hung up
It sounds like many of you are in California- but I'm getting these calls too, and I'm in the Northeast!
I don't have caller ID.
I get these calls about once a week- used to be Dave, now it's Allison.
I hang up long before the whole message plays - thinking maybe the scam is to keep me on the phone long enough to tap into my line- so I would later get billed for calls others made.
I am in New York City and get these calls. I am on the DNC list as well as have an unlisted phone number. My caller ID shows the call coming from 000-000-0000, so obviously they've found a way to mask their true phone number. When I press one I get someone who hangs up on me as soon as they realize I don't want them to call me.
I picked up this call to see who it was because I was receiving a lot of "unknown name" calls. I listened to the carpet cleaning message and pressed '1' to schedule an appointment. A man came on and I asked him what company he was calling from. He answered Best Carpets. I asked where he was located. He didn't answer but asked if I wanted to schedule a cleaning. I told him I did, but I needed to know where he was located. At that point he hung up.
Whenever I get one of these I go ahead and schedule or whatever to talk to a human. Then when the human comes on I just pause for a while until they say hello and then I launch into a deep gutteral scratchy “THIS IS SATAN… YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING… SLEEP WELL TONIGHT”
I’ve had a few telemarketers run out of the room screaming! LOL
got a call on my cell phone today from "dave." I pressed one to give them a piece of my mind and as soon as I started ranting they hung up. If they call again, i will try again. maybe schedule a service and then give them the whole nine when they show up. I don't even have carpet, my whole house is laminate.
Dave's Carpet Cleaning - press 1 to talk to some skank who hangs up as soon as you mention donotcall list. I'm considering buying an airhorn to sort these f***ers out.
