978-570-2411

Would like to identify caller

Called from ISS INC  ansered and asked to be put on do not call list

Just got a call from this number... Accidentally hung up, but who is it?

Caller left blank message

Couldn't understand anything they said.  Didn't give them much of a chance either.  It was female and she hung up half way thru my rant

Just got a call from this number -- couldn't understand anything they said, but I think they laughed.

I did the exact same thing to a female today...woke up my kids during their nap time, and she hung up on me as I said take me off your list.


.....Go figure....When you try to call back, it's an automated voice message telling me they appreciate my callback....

I've been getting repeated calls from this number over the past few days (30 Jan - 01 Feb 2011).

978-570-2411 registered on my Caller I.D. as "TSS Inc."

Answered phone -- no response from call originator.  Very annoying -- Whoever is running this boiler room operation is paying no attention to the Federal "no call" list..

White Pages We page states this is an "unpublished" land-line number in the Wilmington MA area. Anyone willing to pay the crooks at the phone co. $1 more than "TSS" is paying them to keep it private can get the info.

WhoRan.us identifies the number's owner as "TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS BOSTON" -- That is the carrier that "TSS Inc." uses to rout its robo-calls.

Wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleport_Communications_Group ] has some interesting info. It states that Teleport Comm is a local fiber-optic telecommunications hub based in Staten Island, N.Y. Merrill Lynch financed it as a local competitor to Manhattan Bell Tel prior to Federal telco dereg.  Long distance carriers such as AT&T, MCI and Sprint used it as a local router of their long-distance calls to NYC, in order to avoid the more-expensive local Bell company.

This was such a money-spinner that "The financial services and long distance companies quickly asked Teleport Communications to replicate its services in Boston. Merrill Lynch formed a partnership with Fidelity Investments for Teleport Communications-Boston."

Wikipedia continues: "The success of TCG ... demonstrated that competition was possible in the local telephone market. This contributed to the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996  which ... requir[ed] the incumbent telephone companies, the largest being legacies of AT&T, to interconnect with the new entrants. The company has since merged with AT&T....

"In 1998, TCG was acquired by AT&T for $12 billion. At that time the publicly traded TCG (NASDAQ, TCGI) served 65 markets and generated $800 million in revenue. Its largest investors were cable TV companies TCI, Comcast and Cox Communications."

So what we have here is some of the biggest corporations in the USA getting richer, a nickel at a time, by engaging in the dirty business of renting out their fiber-optic phone lines to boiler room operations that annoy us with robo-calls.  -- Isn't capitalism great?

Must be a new (phone #) one setup as a phishing call. This is the first day I have seen this come up and it seems to be the same as all the posts for this started today.

Called and offered a 'free' security system that I 'won'.  No thanks.

Called me today... didn't answer...

This is a scam / phishing call. Caller ID was TSS Inc (caller was from FL with heavy accent although the area code from the phone is from Mass).

Women calls here with a harsh accent inquiring if we have smoke detectors..
Although we are on a do not call list, they violate state law by calling and soliciting. I agree they're phishing and trying to get information to get into one of your accounts. Just hang up on the thugs. They're basically no good trying to take advantage of people. Screw them and their accents.

Don't know this number or anyone in this state? Phishing???

Now my wife just got a call from this number.  same thing.  Woman  w/a strong accent,  She hung up when the missus told her to piss up a rope.

I just got done leaving a complaint with the" National Do Not Call List", I have been on this list for quite a while and the more people that report to them about these [***],  the better!!  KEEP THESE SCUM FROM TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD TO PAY THEIR PHONE BILLS WITHOUT UNWANTED [***]!!!!!!

I just got a call.  "Steve" with an Indian accent from TSS at the MA number listed here.  Said, "i'm not selling you anything but do you have smoke detectors in your home?"  I said I wasn't answering and hung up.

just got call from this...they didn't leave a message...MA phone #, TSS on caller ID.  hate these callers!

I just received a call from this number on my cell phone.  She claimed to be from a company called 'MoneyTronics" (Or at least that is what her broken English sounded like) and she claimed that GE selected 10 homeowners and I was one to receive a GE Home Security System, a $1200 value for free.  I told her I rent and suddenly she was disinterested and hung up on me.

I'd watch out for this one!!

that may not help...you need to report it to the fcc :www.donotcall.gov
