Have received eight calls from (402) 982-0549. Four of the calls had no one on the other end. The others identified themselves with an English language name, spoken with an Indian accent. As someone else noted, I also did not catch the name of the company when they called. SW GRP is what shows on my caller ID, but that does not help in finding this outsourcing telemarketer, or the American company that they are working for.
I told the first three callers that I did not need debt consolodation, and that I was on DoNotCall. The fourth one, I gave some information to them, to see where this may end up. He tried to transfer the call, but the call got disconnected. I received two more calls, in the following two hours, but with no one on the other end.
In the past, before the mortgage finance collapse, I would get phone calls from India. If the same company called multiple times, I would give them some information, then let them transfer me to their representative, which took 30 seconds. I would talk to the American guy, and tell them to give me the name of the telemarketing company, or I would report the American company. The telemarketing firm was almost always in the States, and I would call them to take me off of their list. This usually worked. A couple of telemarketing companies denied that my number was on my list, so I offered to file a criminal complaint of harrassment. They found my phone number shortly after, and informed me that I was off of their call list.
