Anti206 Telemarketer thread

TOPIC - 206-274-8779 DATE - 01/28/06 11:27:12FROM - Paul Woodbridge, NJ
I have been receiving many calls from the above number, 5 to 10 per day for a month or more. I finally got someone to speak to me today The company is Global Contact services and they get your name,number and address from GMAC Mortgage. I complained to GMAC and the told me to call 877-450-4622 and use their opt out service to stop them from supplying your info to third party companies for other services.Hope this helps.

Wow - the tenth call of the day came in. I actually talked to a supervisor after verifying the calls were being made on behalf of GMAC Mortgage. They not only had my telephone number but mailing address also. I asked questions about do not call and was told I would be off the list in two days. Wait until I talk to GMAC Mortgage.

Hey Heather - I actully got eight calls from this number today and on the nine call I answered but the party hung up. I'm glad you talked to a human and there was a refeence to GMAC Mortgage. Interesting that that is my mortgage holder.

206-278-8779 "Washington Call" has called my home repeatedly morning, day and night for at least a month. Typically, when answered, we get hung up on. A few times, they have come onto the line asking for me by name...but they are speaking to the answering machine. FINALLY this morning, I answered and the woman on the phone said she was from "$15 gas rebate from GMAC Mortgage". I asked to be removed from their list and complained about the volume of calls we have received from them. Solicitors are pathetic people even if they are trying to make an honest buck. The woman did indicate that she was calling from a computer, which automatically dials numbers (not that I didn't already suspect this in the first place). She SAID she'd take me off the list but it could take up to 90 DAYS...GREAT...

I got a call at 4am this morning that woke up my newborn.. This is the second call in a week that I have received. Caller ID says it is from "Health Plan". When I answer, the phone call disconnects. When I try to call the number back, I am not able to connect. ???

I have received numerous calls on the day to day basis from telemarketers. I've ignored the calls over and over, but I am fed up that all the calls coming through are telemarketers. I've recently added the Privacy Director and my calls immediately drop to 1 or 2 a week. However, my number has been on the do-not call list since it got started. I've recently started getting calls from 206-415-9365 & 208-327-1751. It is unbelievable that we as consumers are trying to protect our privacy and these scum backs -telemarketing companies find a loop hole. We should all try to push for laws that will protect us as consumers not those bastards.

I frequently have calls from the above-number & my caller ID only shows "Michigan call". Anyone have info on this number?

Just a quick post for any new people. Any (206) call is probably a telemarketer. They use predictive dialers that call blocks of numbers. They didn't "get your number" from anybody.Using a predictive dialer to call a cell phone is illegal.As is calling people on the DNC and using a recorded message to call your home.Calls after 9:00pm are not allowed.Report all violations to the FTC (877 382 4357).The phone company for all (206)#'s is Marathon Communications (800 919 1000). A Seattle company that provides (206)#'s to telemarketers. Call to complain and ask who the number belongs to. Don't just leave a message, ask for someone in charge. Post results here. For more info. visit www.anti206.blogspot.com Call the Washington Attorney General (206 464 6948) and file a complaint.Also,post the caller ID you get with each (206)call. (206 278 8978) is Bank of America Insurance.To get on their DNC CB and leave your number.Make sure you complain about their telemarketing.You can also leave your number at (206 278 9031)to get on their list.Many (206) calls are to find "good" numbers for DirecTV and (734 298 7802) Dish Network. Call (888 332 1486) Dish Network to complain.Always file a complaint with your state Attorney General.

we get calls on our wireless phone all the time from 206-278-9031, we never answer any calls from numbers we do not recognize, but I found this number discussed on this site and wonder how they got our wireless phone numbers.

The telephone companies should have a system for customers to block these calls. I've had calls in the middle of the night. The only other thing you can do if you get a person is to ask them to take you off there calling list.

I've noticed that quite a few other people have had problems with this number. It's pissed me off enough to look it up on the internet. If anyone finds anything out about it, please let me know.

(206)278-8978 This looks like a VoIP number that is sponsored by Marathon Communications in Seattle, WA. They have no relation to BoA according to customer service reps and the fraud department. DO NOT give any account information to these people.

I got the infamous 206-415-8547 "Health Plans" call this morning. It took me a sec to answer after lifting the receiver, and when I said, "Hello?" there was silence, then a busy signal. Apparently, an autodialer didn't get the response it was programmed for. Anyway, I called the NC Attorney Gen's office. They are sending a complaint form. Don't know why they don't just make it available on the web. I also filed a complaint with the DNC website. I hope these jerks get a hefty fine when the hammer comes down.

Hi, I have been receiving calls from bancofamins (206.278.8978) at least 3 times a day for the past month. I finally called that number today and received a voicemail message that said it's Bank of America Insurance Services (or something like that). I immediately called BofA and spoke to a very nice customer service rep and she filled out a form, which would "opt me out" from receiving these calls. However, it takes anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Thought I would share this info with you.

I have been receiving calls from this company daily as well. It is Bank Of America Insurance. I just called the number and it gave me the option to request my number to be taken off their call list.

206-415-9148 This #is calling every day and hanging up it's really starting to get to me because it's usually my kid's nap time when they call. Does any one know who these jerks are? I live in a state with a do not call registry bit i guess these assholes don't care!!
 
206-415-9148 is a marketing company called Perfect Marketing out of Seattle, Washington. The company may be reached by calling (602) 453-3333 and is registered to Bill Fautsch.
 
One of my favorite scumbags is a guy named Richard Salvador aka Richard Dunbar of Great Northwest Advertising (www.penslinger.net). Richard spoofs his caller id using spoofcard.com. Richard served 5 years (was sentenced to 9) for his part in one of the nations largest telemarketing scams in U.S. history. He was targeting and ripping off senior citizens. The FBI sting operation was called "operation disconnect". Richard routinely threatens to kill people. Customers, competitors, empolyees etc. He likes to record himself doing so. Richard recently put his 14 year old daughter in the hospital. His ex wife and daughter are now in hiding. He uses methamphetamines and steroids. Don't believe me? Check this out:
