Go to: http://donotcall.gov to register your phone number(s)! If you do this now, as of October 1, 2003 telemarketers will not legally be allowed to call you at all (except for legitimate "not for profit" organizations). Just bear with it until then. The registration will cover you for five years and then you can re-register. I registered all my phone numbers and fax number (yep, they have cold-called my fax machine in the past.) It will also be illegal for anyone to send unsolicited faxes even if you do not sign up. You can register cell numbers as well. The site is rather overloaded as most people in America are desperate to get away from these privacy-invading leeches. The confirmation email took twelve hours to get to me rather than the promised "few minutes". Site traffic is heavy, so you may have to keep pushing the "submit" button. Stay with it, it will be worth your time and trouble. Just imagine how many scams will be averted simply because the evil scammer will not be allowed to call in the first place. The offending telemarketer that calls after the above date will be fined $11,000 per incident...(That's about $100,000.00+ per week on just the calls I get now) The registry is free, so there is no reason not to use it. I urge all consumers to register as it will take away the most powerful of the scammer; the telephone! The FTC and FCC joined forces on this one to ensure both intrastate and interstate calls will be regulated. Gotta' give 'em credit for a needed service on this one!

If what you are saying is true, you have to call the non-emergency line of your police department and file a complaint, with your local jurisdiction. Now I don't want to tell you how to feel or what to think, but just to clarify, this is stalking and harrassement. Submit his name and save your billing record where the information of his name is stored. Give them photo copies, if they request. Even if he is trying to develope a new business affiliate, with Consumer Preferred or Credit Education or whoever, he has no right to hound you. The reason for why it is so important for you NOT to call that number has to do with the toll free service he possibly, allegedly receives. This toll free service that small businesses can purchase, will track you to your work office and possibly your place of residence. The information the toll free account holder receives is a little more detailed than your standard Caller I.D. Telemarketing can be a annoying, but this is unorthodox and out right illegal, in nearly every State of the Union. Call your phone company. Have your phone tapped for a while, if necessary, and show the police department a copy of your report at Rip-off. See if you can get them to visit this site. They have the legal authority to request account information from these toll free account corporations. As a common citizen, my hands are tied. They are not obligated to release information to me or you, but law enforcement can do the job. What this man is doing is unprofessional. I hope everything works out and by the time you get this rebuttal, the calls have stopped. Try to see if you can block that number too. In addition, someone gave this person information about you, possibly from a shopping place online or else where. If you should have to spend any money, on this it would be a rip off. Let us know how everything turns out. Hope this helps.
