On 1/28/2010 I received a phone call from a man claiming they are opening a new carpet cleaning ***nch in North Idaho moving from Oregon and are doing a promotion to get new business.  The man claimed he would "get paid to clean two rooms of carpet" in exc****e for my opinion of the service.He went on to tell me the benefits of the product for pet owners, etc... He asked if we worked days or nights and then made an appt. for Sa****ay morning.  He made a point to ask if I would be alone or if my husband would be home with me.  I found this to be an odd question but let him know we would BOTH be home.  We scheduled for 10am.This morning, 1/30/2010, at 9:30am a man came to our home and when my husband answered the door, he insisted on speaking directly to me.  While he waited for me, he told my husband his company has fired multiple phone callers for failing to tell customers they are not a carpet shampoo company but rather an equipment seller.  He indicated they fired four callers yes****ay for telling people they would clean the outside of their windows which he says they also do not do.I let him know my husband had been up moving all our furniture into the garage since early this morning.  I asked for his card and he offered to give us a bag of powder for our inconvenience.  I then asked for his business card and informed him I would be calling the Better Business Bureau.  At that point, he became visibly shaky and said, "I am not giving you anything now and I am gettting out of here."  He then left.We saw him driving around our neighborhood and my husband took down his license plate number.

A-1 Carpet cleaning, 2013 Adams Ave, La Grande,Oregon 97850. 541-975-1865. I called and talked to Mike and informed him he is violating the law. He said he guessed he needs to check the no call list. I advised him it is the law that he does have to check the list before he calls a number. I have reported him to the FCC. He didn't sound to bright. Probably a nice hard working guy that doesn't realize he is committing a crime and ignorance is no excuse.

Man called asked for my husband by his first name then ***g up. Multiple stories on multiple websites from this same number.

Said he is s****ing a new carpet cleaning business. Will clean your carpet for free. The company will pay him to clean your carpet if you will make a pitch for them. Asked me what type of vacuuum cleaner I have. Asked me if my wife and I worked nights or days.

***g up when I answered.  I called back and a man answered "hello" (not a business greeting).  He acted like he couldn't hear me, then I ***g up.
