Telemarketer Roadkill

June 14th Tracking Update

staff — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:39:20 +0000

312-878-5683: Hang up calls several times per day, some calls happen at 4am. Likely a spoofed number, reverse lookup is blank for provider/phone company.

As for news, much less ‘junk/scam’ calls since 2010. Google Voice filtering has been useful along with call forwarding to Google Voice for easy voicemail reviewing/downloading. In the past it was a must to manually record using a Sony Ericsson/Nokia while using at&t/T-Mobile voicemail.

There will be pending new features added to the site in the next few days, a new feature will be the ability to upload your own voicemail recordings with notes about the telemarketer/scam call.

541-909-8989 (1/23): Spanish recording of a very poor quality.

About time the FTC is doing something about the auto warranty telemarketing, it’ll be interesting how long before they shutdown the “Rachel from Card Services” which is just as bad.
The recordings page has been updated with some April/May recordings, the 6 minute long ring ring ring until a so-called “Auto Warranty Rep” is a classic… I gave up waiting and put the cell phone down to finish eating dinner. Static tracking page of previous numbers has been taken offline and will be back in a more search friendly format.

303-586-6397(May 1st): Spanish telemarketer recording, either selling something or a scam prize. The number is spoofed.

573-324-4234(May 2nd): Wrong name spoken by telemarketer, pitching a contest or prize for having a Visa account. The number is a landline from Bowling Green, MO and the provider is Southwestern Bell/at&t.

333-222-5566(May 6th): Spoofed phone number was a good hint this was a scam, message was about “foreclosure” aid program with “press 1 to be connected to an operator or 2 to be removed from the list” Pressing 1 resulted in a 2 minute ringing and ringing.

702-520-1113(multiple calls in late April to May 6th): Same “Rachel from Card Services” scam mentioned in past posts, seems like they’re cycling through every 702-520-1xxx number in a pool of dialers or something. The number is a landline from Las Vegas, NV and the provider is Digitcom Services Inc.

909-842-9188 (May 6th): Dead air telemarketer message left on GrandCentral voicemail, number has many reports of it being auto warranty. The number is a landline from Ontario, CA and the provider is Digitcom Services Inc.

718-301-0365 (May 8th): Another ‘foreclosure’ aid telemarketer with a pre-recorded message and the usual press 1 to talk to a drone. Wasn’t fast enough to record the call. The number is a landline from New York, NY and the provider is Xo New York Inc.

240-699-8971 (May 8-11th): Another “Rachel from Card Services” scam number, pressing to talk to a rep results in a very long ring ring ring until somebody answers or call drops. The number is a landline from Adamstown, MD and the provider is Verizon.

800-465-7962: Pre-recorded message of dead air left on GrandCentral voicemail, from the looks of whocalled.us and other sites there are multiple pre-recorded messages used by this number.

571-990-9990 (May 18th): Pre-recorded message in Spanish of a prize or something. Number is spoofed so not much leads of who they are.
