			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided to start a list of all the numbers that I have received that have called me and are known to be solicitors. My policy is to never pick up a number that I don&#8217;t know. Hopefully this list will help others out there. Feel free to comment if you have any more numbers to add.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">12/12/08 &#8211; 09:35am &#8211; 402-572-7581</span><br />
Comcast<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span> This number kept calling me, I thought it was a telemarketer but it turns out that it was Comcast calling telling me that my service has been restored.Â  This number has called me multiple times so you can probably tell how many times I&#8217;ve been out of service with these guys.Â  Sheesh.Â  Also, they never informed me that I was going to be recieving a call once service has been restored.Â  Just a heads up for anyone getting this number.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">06/03/08 &#8211; 10:40am &#8211; 206-973-1773</span><br />
Seattle Symphony<br />
200 University Street<br />
Seattle, WA 98101<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span> Good ol&#8217; subscription selling, but this time it&#8217;s for season tickets to the symphony.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">03/01/07 &#8211; 01:30pm &#8211; 307-764-8771</span><br />
Powell, WY<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes: </span>It&#8217;s been a while since I last updated this list but from my research it looks like the number is used for vacation/time share scams.  Another person also says that the number was used for a Washington Mutual survey.</p>
<p><strong>11/21/06 &#8211; 10:55am &#8211; 206-652-6300</strong><br />
Seattle Times<br />
1120 John Street<br />
Seattle, WA 98109<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span> They called me a few days following my subscription cancellation.  I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re calling because they&#8217;d like me to resubscribe, but if these calls persist (as I hear they do this), I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever subscribe again.</p>
<p><strong>08/28/06 &#8211; 9:32 AM &#8211; 402-572-7581</strong><br />
EDIT &#8211; Turns out that this number is actually used by many companies as automated customer service. I figured this out when I realized that I told Comcast to call me when my internet outage was fixed.  Share of your experiences with this number below.</p>

<p><em><strong>Notes:</strong> Didn&#8217;t leave a message, this number is a WA number and is known to be associated with </em><a href="http://www.uspacs.org/"><em>USPACS</em></a><em>, a company selling bogus sex offender location information.</em></p>
<p>Are you a victim? Make sure you put all your numbers in the <a href="https://www.donotcall.gov/">National Do Not Call Registry</a> if they do try to call you again after 90-days then you have a right to sue them.</p>
<p>Update:  I should add, if your number is on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days and telemarketers call you, you can <a href="https://www.donotcall.gov/Complain/ComplainCheck.aspx">file a complaint</a>.  I filed a complaint for every single Omaha Steaks call, and they finally stopped calling.  That, or they are tired of dialing my number. :)</p>
