Spam RoboCalls Are Shut Down
May 16th 2009 23:10
Finally! It only took two years, but someone (who is now my best friend) has stopped the robotic cellphone calls that inform the customer "Out of warranty? You are still eligible to reactivate warranty coverage. This is the final call before we close the file."
Start: Two very (insert the worst swear word you know here) (another ******* here) companies decide to cheat people out of their money! not a new or original idea, but hey being a fagot is hard, and these guys excel.
The Act: These two companies: specifically Voice Touch and Transcontinental Warranty send spam. They send OVER ONE BILLION SPAM CALLS. While going to great lengths to hide their tracks and appear to be very non-fagot-like. I personally received about thirty of these calls, and no particular order either, just whenever, including the middle of the night. Even T-Mobile's BLOCK list was unable to stop the spam (I don't really blame T-Mobile for letting the calls get through, I know they tried). Both of the companies profit from scamming normal people.
What Happened: A federal judge has issued two temporary restraining orders designed to stop the calls. The spam should cease, but the restraining order only has effect until May 29.
People I praise for taking action: These people were only the ones listed in the newspaper, but many others were involved. Now, why are they heroes? Because they took action, this particular case was not that annoying for me, its spam in general that ticks me off. I hate spam, spam mail, spam email, viruses (yes, a lot of it is spam and plain jerks, so they're included), spyware, malware, spam calls, commercials. All of it, There should be laws against cyber-s*** like this, and if there is, it should be WAY more effective. OK, the heroes: The FTC, Jon Leibowitz, Sen. Charles Schumer, and Judge John F. Grady.
What you can do: Don't buy anything from Voice Touch or Transcontinental Warranty Inc. NOT A SINGLE THING.
Now if just all the other 99% of crazy scammers would drop dead....
