Yes they finally pissed me off. I have reported these folk to the FCC, FBI, at least two Attorneys General and still nothing. It looks the right place to start is to set a standard procedure to follow. I would suggest that when you receive calls from them to enter a log book provide the time of day, date, length of call, any names provided, a synopsis of the call. Do not give them any credit card numbers or other personal information. After making the record call the Do Not Call Register and file a complaint. If you are cursed or threatened call your local law enforcement and file a complaint. Call your county prosecutors office and follow their direction. Call the FBI and your state Attorney General. If you can ID the source of the call, call that state Attorney General as well. Hang in there and we'll nab these characters. It'll just take a little effort. My name is Phil Foreman or Paws if you like. Let me welcome you to Ohio Camp Cooks and invite you to look around. Feel free to use as much as what we have to offer as you wish. There is never a charge and your information is not sold or exchanged, still, it would be prudent to monitor the level of information you share as I suspect this effort will be rebuffed as these folk seem to have substantial resources behind them. The latest number I received a call from is: 920-602-0879 around 10 AM this morning. I copied this from the site I reported that information to and will research it; I did a lot of research on the web and I found the following:
1. The real company behind this is First USA which appears to be a bank using this mailing address: First USA Card member Services P.O. Box 15298 Wilmington, DE 19850-5298
2. First USA is using a third party called Card member Services to run the website and telephone call processes. The website is: www.cardmemberservices.com
3. You can use the donotcall.gov website to file a complaint. This does not appear to be used by law enforcement since complaints have existed for this company for quite some time.
4. The best method for filing a complaint is to the Federal Communications Commission which has the governmental responsibility for enforcing the laws about telemarketing calls like this one. The website for filing a FCC complaint is: www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html

I o not think the above reference is a valid indication of the true identity of these folk. They are more likely an offshore or central boiler room operation using something like magic jack to use varied phone numbers. I figure the scam is to steal your credit card assets using the information that you provide to them. But, if we can get enough information eventually we can find them and put them out of business. I have pout this information on my Face Book status and asked folk to share it. It may take some time but eventually we will prevail. Background information concerning the number ID used to call me.: (920) 602-0879 Cellular Fond Du Lac Wisconsin

Go get 'em Columbo! Hey doesn't the Northern District of Illinois include Obama Land? Nigga got to be getting his money from somewhere. So far they have kept the scams pretty soft just selling crappy auto policies and phony debt reduction scams. Nothing too critical. But I see potential for major felonies by extracting card information and looting credit cards and bank accounts. You know this might be the perfect thing to do for a terrorist org to lay back, gather the numbers then one fine Spring morning hit all the accounts and mess things up big time. Mind your P's and Q's boys boys and girls keep those numbers close hold. They are using a system of "spoof cards", legal so far that are available on the net. These cards work like a regular phone card only they give you access to a computer that allows you to enter any phone number you wish to show up on the recipient's caller ID and includes the ability to change your voice. Someone used one here in Athens pretending to be the Sheriff's office, included the correct phone number for the caller ID and attempted to collect reportedly delinquent parking lot fines. Well, you can see the fallacy of that scam. These cards are sold at a few retail locations and available on line at "Spoof Card". I'm working to have laws written outlawing their manufacture, sell, and use. Oh, the count of State AGs is now near thirty on our side.

Welcome aboard Austinrob. Appreciate the help. I'm collecting information. Need to contact the Florida AGs office and provide what you have so far. I figure these are the same players who were sued in Illinois operating out of California. Be patient.

The state of Oregon issued a press release a few months back looking for info on the jackwagons back when they were only using oregon caller id signatures.
I called, they put me in touch with the investigators for the State of Oregon Dept. of Justice. I gave them the real contact info for before mentioned jackwagons.
Can you file with the State of Florida? Should both of us? I'm serious paws, that contact info is legit. We have both their corp name/address and the call center address. They were busted for timeshare telemarketing scams in the past.
I'm ready to tighten the noose on these guys.
