The "Energy Upgrade California" telemarketers have bedeviled consumers for years ... "Energy Upgrade California" is a program run by the California Public Utilities Commission and California Energy Commission to educate Californians on energy conservation towards a goal of combating climate chan
Ah, as always, your technical prowess and capacity for explanation are very much appreciated, Nimrod. How clever of scammers to distort their numbers. Reminds me of the "Sand People" of Star Wars who traveled in single file to hide their numbers. Cheers! :-D
You certainly have a point about Medicare Advantage (C) making it hard to go back to A/B, but I have no intention to do so. I've happily been with Kaiser Permanente for about 40 years, and the transition to their Advantage plan when I retired was seamless. I've received terrific care from them since...
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?"
Then you really need to educate yourself. Call back to this number gets a heavy Indian accented man who says "thank you for calling the Rewards Center, may I please have your phone number?" When I asked what is the rewards center and who are you associated with he said, "This is the great American...
FTC Shakes More Consent Farmers from a Response Tree The FTC is working on starving the crops of yet another bunch of sales call consent farmers, Response Tree in California. Active in the past five years and sued a month ago, they are slightly better known for their fraud-fertile websites, includ
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...
PGX Holdings, better known to us as "fixer" firms Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com, is nearly ready to eat a consent judgment from the CFPB for $2.7 billion and a ten year ban on telemarketing, having fought the Bureau's lawsuit since May 2019. From the press release: Lexington Law and CreditR
One has to wonder why you did not directly reply to him if you wanted to dispute what he said. Not that it would matter since you are way out of league.
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...
McClatchy's news service was the first to spell out what's between the lines of "technician researching pricing": "... an investigation revealed the company told DeSapio a necessary part for her air conditioning unit wasn’t available. Lawyers later learned the part was available, and the company
Reading is an important aspect of learning about something, here is a Summary from the posted link to the Article: Two brothers and the companies they ran have settled a federal district court complaint brought by the Federal Trade Commission and litigated by the Department of Justice, that char
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.
"V" calls have disappeared on my phone over the last few months. Being that virtually every "V" call is spam, it seems the local carrier (Spectrum) is labeling them as "Spam Risk", which my blocker takes care of.
