Your company is not legitimate. If it were, you would not be breaking the law. See your company was sued in a class action in 2008 and settled in 2009 (all public record) for the EXACT SAME THING. You can run a business, I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is you violating the law. Stop using an automated voice and stop calling people who clearly are not wanting commercial solicitations and you will have no problems.
It is painfully obvious you don't even read the Craigslist ads that say "DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE A SOLICITOR", that is what you are. You were warned directly from my ad, and now you are crying that you got sued when you were warned. Perhaps change your business model.
You will get ZERO sympathy from me or the thousands of people like me who HATE to be solicited and you break the law and cry "why me" you get a life.

I couldn't disagree more with "anonymous". It does not take a rocket scientist to show that the company breaking the law posted the anonymous rebuttal. The sad fact is, this company is NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW. It would be one thing if they ran a legitimate business. Hey this is America, you are free to run a legit business. But the sad fact is OSM is not. They are farming numbers from CL and Autotrader and using an automated system to call home and cell phone numbers, a practice which is and has been illegal since 1991.
There is no exception made for these type of companies, this is the SOLE reason the TCPA was put into place, to prevent unwanted calls from solicitors.
Boo h*o, bankrupt. Whatever, perhaps OSM did not learn their lesson in 2008 when an attorney in Ohio County, WV filed a class action lawsuit for the SAME thing I am complaining about. You would think after they already have been sued and settled in a class action lawsuit they would change their ways...they deserve to be bankrupt. I can understand if their business practices were a mistake, but they were sued, agreed to stop and are still doing it. There are thousands of complaints of similar nature out there...and I am the bad guy? I doubt it.
Simple rule, follow the law and you won't be sued.

Why don't you find a real job and stop harassing small business's who are trying to help people. This company is legitimate, unlike you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a wast of space, sorry for all of your family. You are an embarrassment to all.

As an FYI, this is what the complainer does for a living. He is a perfect example of why the internet needs to be regulated. His job is to sue legitimate companies for a quick $5000.00 in his pocket. This is why so many small business's are struggling in our great country, his sole purpose is to bankrupt companies and slander their reputations. Shame on you!!!!
