Got a call from these people today. Caller ID claimed "Customer Rewards" and 650-230-0249. The number may or may not have been spoofed. It Does not matter. Either way the call violates the DNC list. If it was spoofed, then it violates Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009. The fact that the FCC and the FTC can not find these people is pure BS. A few years back, I was the IT Manager for a legitimate Call Center (incoming calls only, except when returning incoming calls) and management knew who most of these people were. They can be tracked by the equipment they buy to use, the number of phone lines, and the phone carriers. Their owners make connections with legitimate companies for various reasons. They have high-turn-around employees. Those employees talk at their new jobs, often in the same field. Fact is, with our current "business friendly" (read: in bed with) Congress, nothing will ever get done.
