647-477-3132

Hey....I got the same call approx 3 hours ago too. Checked the number and it's some skyScape marketing racket.....if you call them you can omit yourself from their calling list, yet....it seems to be right [***] UP, because it told me to call from another phone. Either way...forget about it....Damn Telemarketers have NO RIGHT!

Got the number on my caller id today, didn't know the number, didn't pick up, tried reverse look-up, no such number listed, googled the number and found it to be g-damn telemarketers...bloody sick of them!!!!

Just got the call five minutes ago 647-477-3132, didn't pick up, they went to my voicemail, pause then a hang up....getting really annoyed of these numbers calling and hanging up. STOP CALLING!!!!

I got a call from this number as well. I tried searching it in canada 411 but its unlisted. i googled searched it and got here. I was just wondering whose number is this because it kept calling us but when we pick up, there was no answer.

We have also received hang up calls from this number, usually before 9 a.m., and 'messages' have been left that are just silence for 20 seconds before the inevitable hang up.  However, this morning, we received automated voicemail through this same number looking for participants for the show 'House Capades'.  Amusing, since we live in a co-op apartment.

6474773132 called
no answer on the other line

http://housecapades.com/

wondering if we want to sell our house on their show starring that goof low life jerk Mike Bullard. Said to call them back at 416-840-6938

Got call on a Sunday this time. An automated call asking if we would like to have our home listed on house capades. They said something like that they will keep us on their list and try again in a few months unless we call them at their other repily number, which we couldn't write in time. They have called before and it seems they will call again just as the recording stated. We get them aprox 3 times a year, about the time they recycle their calling list it would seem, if so then they call alot of people. Now if we could get some of this reliability from some other companys that we want to have call us.

This number has shown up on our home phone 3 times in the past week week.
If it is indeed House Capades, they ought to check things out first, considering I live in an apartment building.
No answer when I pick up - and once I got a fax machine beep...truly annoying.

Just call the number back and you can remove yourself from the calling list automatically.

Yea just called me too!  Wish there was a zap button and someone responsible would get shocked!  What telemarkating needs is retribution, then they wouldn't be so fast to upset MY day :)

Here is the next best thing to a shock button. A friend of mine keeps one of those air horns next to his phone...when a telemarketer calls him, he puts on his ear plugs, answers the phone and blasts the air horn into the phone.  After that, my guess is the telemarketer falls to the ground in shock. :)

647-477-3132 called this evening. I never answer unless I know who's calling. Googled it, found this site. Prayed for the slow painful death of the owner of 647-477-3132

Pretty much the same as all of the above, the number keeps calling me and there is never anyone there when i answer.  I said hello about 3 times and then a CLICK and they are gone.  Even if they are a telemarketer, thats some [***] telemarketing if they just hang up when they call.  Legal action could be taken against the owner of this # as this falls under harassment.

Saturday, 2:15pm EST in Toronto. Same number.. no one there. Just the slight echo of my own voice. Strange.

Took the advice of several posters. Called the number ,they identified themselves (recorded message) as SkyScape. Entered " 1" as requested.
Response stated "hang up now if you wish to remain on our call list. If you wish to be permanently deleted from our call list , enter your phone number. I entered my number. Then response said " re-enter your number to verify it". I did so & then the recorded message stated that I was permanently removed from their call list.

Let's hope!!

Forgot a bit about Darren's older activities in domain theft:

For Release: February 15, 2001
FTC Halts Domain Name Scam
Thousands of Consumers Pay Up To Fend Off Fictional Poachers

The Federal Trade Commission has asked a U.S. District Court Judge to halt an Internet domain name scheme that dupes consumers into needlessly registering variations of their existing domain names by deceptively contending that a third party, acting in bad faith, is about to claim it. The agency estimates that, at a minimum, 27,000 consumers may have been victims of the scam. At the agency's request, the court has issued a Temporary Restraining Order, frozen the defendants' assets, and shut down their Web sites, pending trial. The FTC has asked the court to bar the scheme permanently and order consumer redress.

According to the FTC, consumers - many of them operating small businesses on the 'Net - received unsolicited fax solicitations stating, "URGENT NOTICE OF IDENTICAL DOMAIN NAME APPLICATION BY A THIRD PARTY." The letterhead identifies the sender as either Electronic Domain Name Monitoring or Corporate Domain Name Monitoring. The solicitation warns that an application for a domain name almost identical to the recipient's has been "submitted to the National Domain Name Registry (NDNR) for registration," by an unidentified third party. For example, the owner of a site "www.sobi-sky.org" was told that an application had been submitted to obtain the domain name "www.sobi-sky.net" The solicitation says, "Consequently, it is our opinion that this application may have been submitted in bad faith. . .." The solicitation lists four reasons someone might want a copy-cat domain name, including "disrupting the business of a competitor," or intentionally attempting to lure someone else's customers by creating a confusingly similar Web address. The fax solicitation offers to block the application by obtaining the copy-cat domain name for the fax recipient for a fee of $70. It warns that, if the consumer fails to act, "NDNR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF DOMAIN NAME LICENSE, IDENTICAL OR CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR USE OF YOUR COMPANY'S NAME; OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY OR BUSINESS LOSSES."

According to the FTC, no third party has applied for the name, and the information in the fax solicitations is false, in violation of the FTC Act. An FTC memorandum to the court states, "Defendants representation that a third party has applied for a domain name by submitting a registration request to NDNR or any other entity is not only false, but also nonsensical. As explained in the declaration submitted by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, 'the purchase of domain names is practically instantaneous,' meaning there is no period during which an application [for a domain name] is pending and could be challenged."

The FTC has asked the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctions to bar the deceptive marketing practices, to freeze the defendants' assets to preserve them for consumer redress, and to shut down Web sites used to promote the domain name scheme.

The defendants named in the FTC suit are Darren J. Morgenstern, 1268957 Ontario, Inc., and 1371772 Ontario Inc., doing business as National Domain Name Registry, Electronic Domain Name Monitoring, and Corporate Domain Name Monitoring. The companies are based in Toronto, Canada, with an office in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Commission vote to file the complaint was 5-0. It was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, yesterday.

NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendant has actually violated the law. The case will be decided by the court.

Copies of the complaint are available from the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint, or to get free information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies worldwide.
