It's about time they shut these guys down. I get these calls all the time

So stoked on this.
I was one of the many that took the time to log the calls and forward them to the FCC in a letter.

There is a bigger problem behind this, and that was that they were buying this information from Dealerships despite the fact that I, along with many others, had checked the box that said do not share my information with anyone.

I have a letter on file that names me as a key complaintant in the action. The businesses that sold you out are going to be hit after these guys get cleaned out.

Actually, according to the article they were just mass calling everyone, didn't matter if you had bought a car before ever, they said they were even calling 911 centers.

Actually- they bought my information from the Dealership after I bought a car.

Then when I had my other car serviced for the first time at the same dealerships' Ford store, I used my cell phone as a contact number.and the calls started there.

I dont care what the article says for basis, we have a timeline of justification and they already knew what year make and model of car I had in both cases.

Right after my Grandfather died, my Grandma started getting the calls. She would get them as late as 10 p.m. We did everything to get them to stop and nothing. She had enough stress let alone to have to worry about that.

In the last 6 mo. we started getting the calls. We haven't purchased a vehicle in over 6 yrs.

My brother bought a used car right after he was out of the Marine Corps. so call that around 2005. It was a used 2002 model, about 3 months ago he started getting the calls as well. He never answered, always let it ring through to VM since he didn't know the number. I don't doubt that your information may have been sold Hammy, but I know they couldn't have sold my brother's information. He used our parents phone number when he bought the car, and never updated the dealer with his cell phone when he got it. And I bought a new car in late 2007, I have never received any of those calls at all, while my cell phone is registered as my contact number at the same dealer.

Guess in some cases they bought specific information, in others they just mass called everyone.

Same with my wifes car. Some how the got the make model and year. It could be the dealership or it could be more of a dedicated data mining affiar

i get those call all the times too, as soon i hear that little phrase "your car warranty is about to expire", i handup the phone. it annoying. i dont even own a car, Good thing they getting shut down.

It could also be the insurance company selling your data. I seem to get calls when my insurance is due and written quotations with the information on my current policy.

Give me a rope and I'll show you a "good" telemarketer.
