    To the telemarketers of Time Warner/Comcast:

    I have contacted the FTC and I do have my phone number listed on the do not call registry.  Should you continue to contact my number, I will take you to court.  So whoever owns the number of 713-341-1000 - if the initials of MKH show up anywhere on your contact list - DO NOT CALL ME. If I need assistance I will take it up with the local company.  I suggest you read the various laws and statutes available to the general public so that we know our rights as to this type of ridiculous type of "marketing."  With a little common sense - if you call, and don't leave a message, call back 20 times a day and after 8:00 pm c.s.t. - I do believe the general public may take action to stop you and your company.  I keep logs, dates and times - I have all the documentation I need for a pretty good case against your company. I left a message with your "supervisor" who's name is some what difficult to understand and then when I called back - your office is closed.  Interesting! DO NOT CALL ANY NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH INITIALS M K OR H in any arrangement.

    I too registered our phones on the DNCList when it first came available.
    Same thing when you complain, your number is not registered even though I have the emails to prove it.
    FTC like 99.9% of state, local and federal agencies are full of horse manure.
    The employees are as useless as a hind teet on a bull, and give you no satisfaction, or help.
    My advice get vonage, have voice ID and then when the schmucs call you, set your computer to dial out and tie up their lines.

    My husband just received a call from the "BUSINESS", listed below stating they needed to speak with our Attorney or our CPA, regarding something with the IRS.  The way I look at it, if it's the IRS, they know the name and phone of our CPA, who SIGNS on the little dotted line next to our names---HELLO!!! I think all of this is a bunch of BULL*!^*.

    How do I file a complaint against PHOTOBUCKET for deceptive practices, scamming new users in its fraudulent sign-up which feeds phone numbers to Ringtone Channel?  Charges from PHOTOBUCKET's partners appear on people's phone bills, and now I have to fight this.  I wanted no part of it, but they are trying to bill me $9.99.

    Photobucket is criminal and fraudulent and it should be fined for its practices.  They know very well that Ringtone Channel is a scam, a lousy, thieving way to try to steal $9.99 (or more) from unsuspecting users of Photobucket.  I'm so angry I want to see them shut down NOW.

    :):):) I like an interesting bad spelling/grammar challenge...translation is my gift. LOL.

    I have been getting numerous calls from Fingerhut, 1-800-503-2463.  They ask for a Robert Sanchez, and both my husband and I have told them that there is no Robert Sanchez at this number, and to take us off of their list.  So far, this hasn't worked.  I have filed a complaint against them at the Do Not Call website, and I hope that works.  They are driving us crazy with their incessant calls.  Any advice?

    I just called the number they gave me to return there call, 866-485-6222.  It is North American Bank Card.  Spoke with a very nice gentleman and when I explained to him that we are on the "Do not call" list, he apologized and assured me we would be taken off.

    Furious and disillusioned
    The call begins, "This call is being monitored."  I hope so because Washington Mutual has gone too far behind the scenes after selling ads across the land about the joy they feel helping "the common man."  Sales calls from outside vendors are not just an annoyance; they are BIG MONEY makers for those institutions you have entrusted with your finances and personal information.  Makes you wonder who really should be held responsible for ID thefts etc.
