This is all in the San Diego County court records. Sounds like real good guy... He seems to be this multi level marketing guru that made his millions selling snake oil back in the '90's and is now making his money doing this and who knows what else. It seems this Rob Greenstein guy is a multi level marketer (downline from Valenty) too. In additon to the other phone numbers, this was given to me as well.

I kept getting calls telling me I was approved for a loan which I never applied for. The guy said I just needed to send a deposit of $500 and I would get $5000 wired to my account, and there was nothing on google about that phone number. The only thing I found was this site http://www.tracethisnumber.com which gave me some city information, a map, etc. The number was a cell phone. The city was on the west coast and we are on the east coast. I got a premium lookup and the number turned out to belong to some guy named Jose Arguelles with an address in Ontario, CA. I called the number back and the same guy who was calling me picked up. I got all the info I could and passed it on to the BBB, FBI and local PD.

I told the "lady" on the other end of the phone that I would like to extend my warranty. She asked how many miles my car has. I said 200,000. She then asked if I had the V.I.N number. I said that I would have to get it from my car. I asked her if there was a number that I could call her back. Of course they only make outbound calls. She said she would wait for me to go get it. I said it may take a while, is there a website I can go to. She gave me the website. www.warranties.com. I guess she heard me typing and promptly hung up on me. The site didn't have any links to click on except google ads. I looked at the Whois registry for this site.

I told her that I was having difficulties using the site. She then gave me the numbers of a guy that could help me out. I don't think Cheryl is the bad guy in this situation, but this guy and his company appears to be behind the telemarketing. I was shocked that she gave me this information.

They can't earn an honest living, so they have to take advantage of people that don't know better. Stephanie - It isn't professional at all. Tim - Yea, but these guys don't abide by it.

Should the calls continue after a month, report the calls to that same web site. Be sure to have the originating number, and if possible, the buisiness name.There was an e-mail going around earlier this year wherein the author was having telemarketer problems. One day he answered and claimed to be a police detective investigating a crime at the house, implying that the caller was implicated in it too, and began questioning their relationship, scaring the guy silly. While probably a tall tale, it was a good read. The idea could be used by someone with enough cutzpah. Go to https://www.donotcall.gov/ and register all your phone numbers, landline and cells.
