This number has been calling our company business lines mentioning that it is giving a free TV set. And keeps calling.

This number called me in the evening. I think they are telemarketing, don't answer if they call

This company called us also. They said that they were Dish Network. Then we started to ask questions they hung up. We asked if they were Corp. Dish Network and they said yes. We then asked where are you located, they said all over the United States. Then we asked if they are a Dish Network retailer and then they hung up the phone.

They called my parents and when she asked them not to call the guy on the phone said;

"Do you want the dish or not, bitch?"

She asked for the supervisor.

He replied:

"F**k off"

... and hung up.

I did a little looking and found this information associated with the phone number.

TO FILE A COMPLAINT; GO TO;
WWW.DONOTCALL.GOV  
Maybe this idiot's mouth can be tapped shut?
After receiving this automated call, for the 3rd time in a row; I waited for a live body to come onto the phone; the machine instructs one to: PRESS #1 to speak with someone; I did this; I asked they take me off the list; A rude "boy" told me to "press # 9 you F'n Biatch.....then hung up; I wonder if "dish network" is aware of this? I am sure a company such as this would not knowingly allow solicitors to act this way.

PS, GOOD INFO RE THE HIGGENS AND THEIR ADDRESSES AND PHONE #'S.....I THINK THEY NEED A FEW PHONE CALLS..........

I copied this info from their web site; this is dated, but I am sure the info is still accurate!

Public Hearing Set for Proposed Do Not Call Regulations
 
NEWARK - A public hearing will be held later this month on regulations that were formally proposed this week to implement the State’s Do Not Call list and set strict penalties on telemarketers who violate a resident’s right to privacy, Attorney General Peter C. Harvey and Consumer Affairs Director Reni Erdos said.

New Jersey will adopt the National Do Not Call Registry maintained by the Federal Trade Commission as the State’s list, under the proposal. New Jersey residents registered in the national database will not have to file again to be included on the State’s Do Not Call list.

The proposed regulations also will require telemarketers to register annually with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, to disclose whether their principals have been convicted of a crime, and to refrain from calling telephone numbers on the Do Not Call list. Violators will face stiff fines of up to $10,000 for the first offense and up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense.

“The proposed regulations are the toughest in the nation – designed to protect consumers from frustrating and uninvited telemarketing calls,” Governor James E. McGreevey said. “Once New Jersey residents sign up for the Do Not Call list, their evenings at home will again be uninterrupted quality time for their families.”

“We’re empowering residents and giving them the tools to eliminate what often is a source of ill-timed disruption in their lives,” Attorney General Harvey said. “Residents who have already signed up to be included in the federal registry will automatically be afforded protection under New Jersey’s law without having to enroll their telephone numbers on a separate state list.”

“By allowing the Division of Consumer Affairs to simply use the federal registry instead of maintaining a separate New Jersey list, we will not only be providing great cost savings to the State, we will be making sure that we can devote resources to enforcement efforts,” Director Erdos said. “Thanks to Governor McGreevey’s leadership, New Jersey will have the strongest telemarketing regulations in the nation.”

The proposed regulations were published this week in the New Jersey Register and also can be viewed on the Division of Consumer Affairs web site at http://nj.gov/lps/ca/proposal/dcapro22.htm.

The public hearing on the proposed regulations will be held on Wednesday, February 25, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Seton Hall Law School auditorium, 1 Newark Center, Newark, New Jersey. Requests to speak should be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the public hearing to:

Eugene L. Brenycz, Hearing Officer
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs
Office of the Director
P.O. Box 45027
Newark, N.J. 07101

Those unable to attend may submit written comments until April 2.

I just got a call from this #.  I never answer the phone when I don't know the phone # whether it is an 800 # or not.

this number calls me every day at the same time. if i pick up, no one answers. is there any way to block it?

Just called me, no answer. Tried calling it back and it said the call cannot go through.

recording saying i was selected to have a satillite tv installed and free programming. must be a scam.

This number called my home yesturday evening. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick up.  Later in the evening, I decided to call it back and received a message telling me the call could not go thru.
