Telemarketer Roadkill

First update for the New Year, dumping the call logs from the phones will be more frequent as we’re standardizing upon a single phone maker for ease of reporting.

408-651-8108(12/28/08): A telemarketer by the name of “Dish Star”. The number is a landline from Salinas, CA and the provider is Digitcom Services.

207-925-1732(12/31/08): A telemarketer by the name of “Warranty Services”, partial message was “This is a second warning of your car warranty has expired…”. The number is a landline from Lovell, ME and the provider is Northland Telephone of ME Inc. (again, seems like “Warranty Services” wants to make this number a top hit across North America!)

909-842-8166(1/2/09): A telemarketer by the name of “Dish Network Services” & frequently switches their pitch to another “Auto Warranty” or “Debt Consolidation”, asking to be removed from their list results in either being yelled at or hung up upon. The number is a landline from Ontario, CA and the provider is Digitcom Services.

818-870-5086(1/2/09): A telemarketer who changes their sales pitch one day it is “Dish Network Services” or “Auto Warranty/American Auto” or “Free trip to Mexico”, etc. The number is a landline from Canoga Park, CA and the provider is Digitcom Services.

603-488-5038(1/3/09): A telemarketer by the name of “Factory Warranty” leaves a half recorded voicemail. The number is a landline from Bedford, NH and the provider is unknown.  Either the number is spoofed or details on directories are inaccurate.

This is the results of two weeks of tracking, many of them were repeat calls which finally left some type of voicemail.  With that said, seems like smaller telcos are being used by these shady telemarketers who repeatedly call cell phones.  At the moment based on the tracking, everyone I know who uses at&t mobility are getting hammered the most by these telemarketing calls and changing your phone number isn’t going to help… my new number is up to 10 per week.
