Carpet cleaning telemarketer fined $10,000 for violating DNC list

I recommend contacting the district attorney's office in your county instead of the FTC or some other far-away federal agency. The DA's office in my area (and probably in most areas) has assistant DAs who prosecute bunko and white-collar crime. A friend of mine was recently scammed by an alarm company and the DA's office jumped right on the case. Remember, the telemarketers discussed on this board are *criminals*, not just annoying but otherwise legit businesses, and it's the DA's office that prosecutes most criminals.

Received same call from Diane just now. I'm on the donotcall registry. Filing complaint..

Yeah, I get one a week from these guys... on my cell phone no less. They must be jacking their caller-id, since the number comes up incomplete: 310 946 687.

just got a call like this, with one digit missing from the caller id:

646 976 485

Make an appt, not at your address, then ask for a number incase you have to reschedule, then If you have Skype, call them often.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the OP was Diane from the Carpet Cleaning Company?

Been getting the same call.  They're using 310.948.536  (last digit missing).

How are these calls going through without 10 digits?  I would like to add it
to the block list offered by my VOIP service.

I Have the same problem here in South Florida. On both the Federal and State Do NOt Call Lists matters little to these telemarketers.  When I got a sales rep on the line by pushing one to schedule an appointment, he hung up on me as soon as I identified myself and started to explain that I am on both do not cvall lists.  ATT's suggestion was to notify local law enforcement.  Any other ideas, solutions I should cobnsider?  Thanks!

I just started getting these calls on my cell phone.  Verizon won't give me the real phone number without a court order or a police/DA request.

I would join.  I don't want to put my email on a message board though so how do we contact each other?

Just got the same call in NY from 646-976-485.  They hung up immediately when I said it was illegal for them to call me.

I see many people as well as myself are having the same problem. Is there anyone out there that can just do something about it? They did it in Idoho, how did they do it???

I have been receiving those annoying phone calls from "Diane Carpet Cleaning" I live in South Flori, and these peolple call me from 954 255-6633 , but it is the same deal. A recording machine and when I try to make an appoiment nobody is there.I don't even have carpet.

They have called me a number of times and the phone number used is 732-978-546 which if you notice is an invalid US telephone number.  Since I do not answer unknown calls the answering machine picks up and the caller hangs up.  The "whocalledus" site identified this number so they are using multiple fake phone numbers.

I got a call from a robot also that said her name was Diane from Carpet Cleaning.  I listened to the whole message and I pushed the button to speak with a sentient being.  A girl answered and said carpet cleaning.  I was like what business is this?  She hung up quickly.  Lol, I guess you are not supposed to ask any questions.
