Just stumbled across this in my quest to try to get great atlantic warranty shut down. They screwed my mom out of almost $1300 dollars. I have been calling them almost every hour on the hour for the last month. The 888-858-8448 number is just an answering service and has nothing to do with the a**holes that cold call. But still, everyone should do the “million man message” and run their bill sky high! Anyone and everyone who has even gotten one phone call from them should visit the FTC website and file a complaint… maybe after enough complaints they will get shut down!!

legitimate company my ass! I’ve been getting these calls on all my phones for months, they won’t take me off their lists and call my cell during the day costing me minutes! They are abusive, they try to scam people out of their money, and THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED. I like this idea of flooding them with a bunch of toll-free calls at their expense, lets do this!!! 1. Their number is 888-898-8778, which they will change once this campaign starts taking effect… SO lets post any new numbers they might have, also if they call again….see if you can get their toll-free number and post it 2. ‘Skype OUT’ lets you call toll-free number all day long for no charge. So call them, mute them (or fuck with them), wait till they hang up, and repeat. Its fun. 3. I like scripting, here is an applescript that calls them, waits till they hang up, then calls them again. Put it on a bunch of macs, let it run, its fun:

repeat tell application “Skype” send command “CALL +18888988778″ script name “My Other Script” end tell end repeat

does anyone know an easy way to script skype on a PC?

as an aside — I don’t believe that *67 works on toll-free numbers. *67 prevents Caller ID from seeing your number, but 800- (etc.) numbers use something called Automatic Number Identification and *67 doesn’t affect that. I learned the hard way once; it was 10 years ago so maybe things have changed, but I doubt it.

not that I think calling them openly is a bad idea.

Thanks, Remy. First thing I did was file a complaint with the FCC, and I hope everyone else will, too.

Guys, you’re not gonna run them out of business by spamming them.

Be smart, fill out this form : https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/

If we get enough people to fill this out, the calls will stop… What they’re doing is illegal. And the FCC will stop them.
