An automated sales message for carpet cleaning

real pain in the ass.  they keep calling me and they are carpet cleaners.  Once you speak to them, they hang up.

recorded message from Diane about "great" carpet cleaning deal, transferred to live person who hung up if I asked for names and numbers. I get these calls from this solicitor nearly once per week even if I mention my registration in Do Not Call registry to agent.

SCAM to get your address and do who-knows-what with it!
After listening to a recorded message offering carpet cleaning, I pressed "1" to order carpet cleaning, just to find out their phone number and file a complaint. The person that came on the line would not provide a phone number when i said I'm not ready right now but would like to have their phone number for future reference. She said I would lose all the promotions if I called them back. I asked again, and she hung up. Clearly a scam. A legitimate business would not violate the do-not-call registry, and then of course would provide a phone number.

Tell them to call and give them the phone number 202-418-1000, that is the FCC

Then tell your elected officials that you want the do not call list enforced. The only way to stop telemarketing is to put politicians in the public hot seat.

This number called: 702-291-2991 after going through their prompt, i spoke to someone, scheduled an appointment to the sheriff department's address in my area saying that was my house address with 5 bedrooms and 2 hallways. The next day, i got a call from the carpet cleaner from his cell phone. He was sort of angry and i was laughing.
His two cell phone numbers are: 714-574-3175 and 213-514-4650. Feel free to add these numbers to any forms you fill out that a solicitor might call. Personally, the next time they call about the carpet cleaning, i am going to give them one of these numbers.

I continually receive these dumb autodialers. They do get pissed off when you screw around with them.
The solicitors seem to screw up when they're angry and give information they would never normally give.

After googling the phone numbers i got the following:

Master Carpet Cleaners
[admin edit: please see "Master Carpet Cleaners" response below]

Feel free to file complaints with the FCC, Attorney General or whoever you want. If they receive enough of these, maybe they'll stop

I'm on the no call list.  I am getting unwanted calls from 702-291-2991 several times and can not stop the calling.

Unwanted call from carpet cleaners.

Thank you to Frank and Linda for posts about this carpet cleaner.  I am on Do Not Call, also, so why do we get calls all hours of the day and night?  Going to the dotGov website.

Called about carpet cleaning.  Obnoxious.

Started calling house. They let phone ring 30 times. I assumed they were telemarkers, so I didn't answer. Problem is i was home from work,usually gone. I live with 87 year old step father, who returns all calls. afraid he will get scammed.I know they will call till they get someone.

It was an annoying unsolicited call

Same solicitation for carpet cleaning. Dirtbag scam artists.

I am on the do not call list and this company keeps calling me..

PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE IS CALLING YOUR SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER.

THEY DID NOT. THEY DID NOT CALL YOUR NUMBER SPECIFICALLY.

YOU WERE RANDOMALLY "ROBO" CALLED WITH A SPOOFED PHONE NUMBER ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

There are several companies engaged in scam business using auto dialers. They are ALL scam outfits. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number you searched for is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of these companies. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, that try to scam innocent victims. They are either owned by the same people, or they sell their business model to other crooks.

One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, carpet cleaning, and more. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints to them are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

BEING ROBO CALLED BY A COMPUTER IS A FEDERAL CRIME. NEED WE SAY MORE?

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..." or "The is an important call from your cardmember services. This is your Final Notice. We have been trying to contact you…." The message about carpet cleaning begins "This is Diane, would like your carpet professionally steamed cleaned?"


NOW, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? If you want to stop these crooks do the following
:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty, having your carpets cleaned, etc. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Do not ask how they "got" you number. (Remember, your number was randomly  dialed by a computer)

Tell them you have $20,000 in credit card debt. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. If the call is about the auto warranty scam, tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. Or tell them you have 15 rooms of beautiful plush wall to wall carpet. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. You want to engage them in friendly conversation to keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be nice and friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below). Often when pressed for questions, they will hang up on you. Remember, they are instructed to do this. That is why you must not be confrontation. Be friendly and act as if you are genuinely interested.

Get the name of the company, and if you can, the city where they are located. Most of these scam companies are either in Florida, or in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time. But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:
http://www.419eater.com.


2) Get the details of these scumbags and post it on this and every other website you can find. Use only the information you get from talking from their representatives and information you get from public sources. DO NOT POST THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR CALLER ID. Their numbers were spoofed and they are victims.


3) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

You can also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the links below to see how effective this can be.

If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money.

Let me tell you how I helped defeat a former scam company. Versadebt, that changed its name to VP Marketing, was scamming victims for years. I found the name of their company through conversation with one of their stupid representatives. And not only did I report them to the FCC and FTC each time, I also posted their contact information on the internet to make it easier for everyone to report.

Here is a story from Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA that tells how WE took down VP Marketing, just one scam operation. Over 100,000 complaints were received by the FTC:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team:-vp-marketing-sued-021710

If you get the name of the company,  here is how you can find their information if located in Georgia, with the search engine of the Georgia Department of State:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

For example looking up VP Marketing, the former scam outfit, we see that it is owned by Jason Eyer, the dirt bag shown in the Fox 5 video. Here is how you can contact this person, courtesy of public records filed with the Georgia Department of State:
Jason Eyer
1603 Mosaic Way
Smyrna, GA  30080
407-902-1950
407-902-9377

And here is the most satisfying evidence of how we can defeat and destroy these scumbag scammers:

Remember:

1) Be friendly and pretend to be interested
2) Try to get the name of the company
3) Research the name of the company using public records
4) Post the name of the company everywhere on the internet
4) Report them to the FCC, the FTC, and the state Attorney General's office

don't want to be called by this number again

I do not want to receive calls from this scammer.
