(214) 382-7533

I have been receiving calls at both my home and cell numbers (both are on the Do Not Call list) from this number and their affiliated number for several months. Doing some research and have found that sometimes the scam is for rug steamers/carpet cleaners and the other is a scam mortgage restructure. They seem to be using (or masking caller ID with) the following 3 different phone numbers: 404-335-7149, 214-382-7533, and 877.999.7705. (My newspaper reporter background comes in handy on things like this). One of the best ways (besides reporting them to the FTC -- make sure you do that) to get back at them is to connect with your local TV news "problem solvers" team and let them investigate and ambush the people who show up. Here are some examples of people and news teams that did just that. One here (blog post and video): http://lee.org/blog/2009/04/16/carpet-cl eaning-telemarketers/ and one here (different person with TV news crew): http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section =news/7_on_your_side&id=6645842 Personally, I think the morgage scam is a way to try to get your personal financial information and the carpet cleaning scam is a way for people to get into your house, case your belongings, and then come back later to break in and rob you. Don't fall for it. Do so****ing and fight back.
