    Just got one of these calls last week in San Francisco. When I pressed "1" they claimed to be calling on behalf of "Sunny's Cleaners"

    They're still at it.  I just got a call, and found this by googling "Hi this is Diane."

    If you're mad enough to go the https://www.donotcall.gov/ FTC route (I did it for another phone spammer), just add a link to this list to the complaint.

    Seems like this is pretty widespread.   [***].

    File the complaint online at https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx.

    These same folks call me and my cell phone repeatedly.  Same recording, from "Diane", offering the same carpet cleaning deal, and hanging up on me when I tell them I'm on the DoNotCall Registry, or ask them to STOP calling me. One minute later, my other cell phone rings.  

    Each time they call, you should file a new complaint with date/time.  The government will have to do the rest.  Since it's an automated dialer, the folks on the line won't do a thing to stop the call from coming in again.  I would feel alot better if someone would file a class action lawsuit against these jerks.

    Good luck to everyone having to deal with these jerks.

    Got my cell today.  I am thinking of scheduling an appointment and having the cops there when they arrive and getting all the company information I can get and posting it all over the internet.

    Can't report number
    310-946-587

    is the number that came up on my caller ID. I see others here are seeing the 'missing digit' thing as well. How do we take the f**kers down once and for all?   This is ridiculous, these people should be in jail.

    I just got the "310-946-587" as well. I scheduled an appointment a couple months ago when a similar (maybe the same) company called me. They came out to my apartment with no apartment number and no one home to let them in. Wasting their time is cathartic revenge. DO IT.

    I received a call today from them.  Last digit of the # missing 480-926-588 I reported it to the donotcall.gov but I'm guessing nothing will be done because of it.  I pressed "1" to speak with someone and was promptly hung up on.

    I just got a call from "310-946-587". Did anyone get a company name from them?? I didn't pick up the call because the number looked too fishy with the missing last digit.

    I just got another call on my cell from these a**holes.  The number was 310-946-587.  I think my next step is to schedule an appointment and give them the police station's address.  The cops around here don't have a lot to do and they like to harass people.

    another one
    I got a call in AZ, from the phone number 480-926-588.  This is the same area code as mine.  I pressed "1" and spoke to some girl, who hung up on me as soon as I said anything about a do-not-call list.

    I'm glad this site is up.  I also filed a report. Thanks all for the info and links.

    "Carpet Care", you're going down.  I hope they fine you exponentially more for each subsequent complaint received.

    Gah, just got a call from 310-946-587, but it was about safely staining a carpet. WTF? Maybe I misheard steaming for staining. Whatever. They gave me an option of being removed from their list by pressing 2, but all that did was have the other end hang up on me. Should have dialed 1 and gave them the address to my local police station.

    Just got the same call from *310-946-587. Local number to me. My phone shows their number as I wrote it, with a * as the first number. I get about one of these calls a month.

    If anyone has the ficticious business name they use or the actual corp. name, doubtful that they would use it, I will look into filing a class action suit against them. I work in the law firm and have all the access to legal documents and attorneys. would anyone like to join?
