I told you 2 weeks ago I do NOT HAVE any F-----g account with you, nor do I even KNOW whow or from where you originated. You promised to remove me from your database but I SEE you have not done so.
This is your last WARNING. NO, I AM forwarding all my communications I have had with you to the FCC, my State Attorney General, and YOUR State Attorney General.
You should have been honorable and responsible. Sooner or later, someone WILL catch you.

I DON'T THINK IT'S CALLWAVE it's a phishing scam
#2Consumer Comment
Wed, May 13, 2009
I have a Callwave fax number and i'm fine with it. But i too have recently been receiving emails from someone claiming to be Callwave. I don't think it's them! It's a phishing scam, very common. they tell you they're from a company with whom you have an account and that you need to update your billing. If you give it to them they will charge your account and disappear into the woodwork. I'm not sure but i'm willing to bet on it. I sent callwave an email letting them know this is happening, but i'm sure my bill is currrent as i'm on credit card payment. I also got a similar one from my bank. it had their logo and everything, but banks don't have you give your account numbers by email. Good luck
