How Do You Report Sales Calls Coming to Your Cell Phone? - Dangerous Common Sense

Report them to the FCC - prerecorded calls to cell phones are illegal:

I don't know about you, when I get salespeople on the telephone I usually stop them and say that the person that they're calling is dead. cuts down on those repeat calls

If everyone would please call TOLL FREE 1-888-898-8778 ext. 33, the number I found on-line for Great Atlantic Warranty, it'll start to cost the blinkers money and maybe they'll stop harassing us.

I'm using my fax machine to call them over and over again. If hundreds or thousands of people did this, we could create a mighty large phone bill for them.

I've been getting these calls on all my phones for months, they won't take me off their lists and call my cell during the day costing me minutes! They are abusive, they try to scam people out of their money, and THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED.
I like this idea of flooding them with a bunch of toll-free calls at their expense, lets do this!!!
1. Their number is 888-898-8778, which they will change once this campaign starts taking effect... SO lets post any new numbers they might have, also if they call again....see if you can get their toll-free number and post it
2. 'Skype OUT' lets you call toll-free number all day long for no charge. So call them, mute them (or f**k with them), wait till they hang up, and repeat. Its fun.
3. I like scripting, here is an applescript that calls them, waits till they hang up, then calls them again. Put it on a bunch of macs, let it run, its fun:

repeat
tell application "Skype"
send command "CALL +18888988778" script name "My Other Script"
end tell
end repeat

does anyone know an easy way to script skype on a PC?
Caller ID: 1-562-228-7169
Caller: GREAT ATLANTA WARRANTY
Caller Type: Telemarketer

Making annoying phone calls, especially automated ones, isn't my way to get even.

First, it's probably illegal. And, telling the judge that they did it first isn't a winning legal defense.

Second, it's probably not effective. I kinda believe that professional scum organizations have phone software sophisticated enough to block attacks.

Finally, it's lowering yourself to the level of the scum sucking phone spammers.

I filed my FCC complaint. That's me.

Hello, I am a customer rep at Great Atlantic Warranty. For the purpose of this forum please address me as GAWHelpguy.

We do not buy "cell phone lists". That in itself is illegal.

There are many ways a data warehouse can obtain your personal information and then resell it to other companies for marketing.
A data warehouse can get your information through things such as a credit check, contests, applying for a loan, agreeing to an online user agreement, filling out a warranty card for a product, even getting married or having a baby.

All these listed activities and more so can put your personal information into the hands of a data collection agency known as a data warehouse who in turn, sells your info.

We all are subject to this sort of problem. Our info is marketed and packaged to further commerce. Add numbers you don't want called to the National Do Not Call Registry.
