Got same type of call..hit "1" went to live
operator who was very wary and hung up after
I asked for phone number of "Best Carpet Care".

same exact thing happend to me. just tell them you need your nuts cleaned. yeah, i's really frustrating....we don't even have carpet.

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.

It sounds like it is time to schedule an appointment and then throw a party for them when they arrive!

Anyone out there Game?

Alison with a carpet cleaning special. I've been on DNC list is was started. I get one at least once a week on my machine.

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 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.

Take action against these jerks now.  The next time they call SCHEDULE A CLEANING FOR A NON-EXISTENT ADDRESS.

I just set up an appointment to do six rooms of carpet for the low price of $150.  I may have got the address wrong.  Oh well.

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.

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

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.

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.

Tried to have number removed but person hung up. Re-registered my telephone with 'donotcall.gov' in NY state. What a pain!

The CID reads OUT OF AREA, and when it comes on, its the same as everyone else on these comments, this is Allison and i want to give you a special deal on carpet cleaning.  Well, i own my own carpet cleaning business and been doing it a LONG time now, i sure as heck do not need anything from some stupid cold caller with out the balls to actually talk to a person and lets a stupid recorded message talk for them.  

Does anyone know who these people are?  I want to start calling them!

Just had the same exact situation. Lady said "because we can" and she hung up on me. Also carpet cleaning specialists.
