    • You forgot to add that a legitimate business has to register with the DNC Registry and prove that they are legitimate before they can even request to buy any of those number lists. No scammer organization, trying to steal money, is going to needlessly pay for a list of phone numbers. Add to t

    • A good "Mary" recording and transcription can be found on No Mas Robo for (352) 605-1726. See also No Mas Robo (772) 907-4050 in August 2023. Who can forget Roberto Duran's "No mas, no mas?"

    • Thank you for the informative postings. I have noticed the ebb and flow of various robocall schemes, like SEO listings, car warranties, home alarm systems, ad nauseum. Was very surprised today to see that Local Lighthouse Corp. is still in business, and the CA SOS says it's in "good standing." Eric...

    • That person was here in '17, you will not get response from them. Looks like this number is implicated in a few scams. Be VERY careful about calls from this number.

    • Shock is hardly my reaction when incurable frauds win a huge settlement discount from regulators. Career criminals aren't dumb enough to pile their money under the bed and wait for LEOs to find it. They might be dumb enough to spend it madly like trust fund babies. Once in a while these settlements...

    • Direct Protection Warranty Services, wwwthedpwscom has tried to sell me a 4-year warranty that costs more than my car is likely worth. The calls are very long in order to ID which entity is actually behind the calls.
