Latest (206) telemarketer numbers. (206 278 0009) TV SURVEY, (206 278 0028) Eyewitness, (206 415 8739) is really Coast to Coast Marketing (619 279 7460), (thanks Steve Hess), (206 278 8978) BANCOFAINS is Bank of America Insurance, (206 278 9169) Markata Group, (214 446 1900) (214 446 1901) Markata Group, (214 446 1600) Markata Group, (214 446 1608) K&V Surveys, (214 446 1922) 42 Holdings, (214 446 1978) Data Marketing, (206 278 9010) Health Benefits, (269 537 2033) GCI (269 537 2031) GCI (616 980 2910) GCI (231 224 2009) GCI.
The Markata Group calls are a fake automated survey (about the government).Messages do not include a callback number which is a TCPA violation. K&V Surveys, 42 Holdings, and Data Marketing are probably all fake names for the same fake company. These surveys may be a way for telemarketers to find good numbers. Check out azurelunatic for more info.
Bank of America is just trying to sell insurance. The number is valid and they will put you on their DNC when you call back. Make sure you complain about their telemarketing when you call. If you have an account threaten to cancel it. Remember, the "established business relationship" that allows them to get around the DNC is canceled once you ask to be put on their internal DNC list.
(231 224 2009) GCI is an illegal recorded message "to lower credit card rates". This may be from Guardian Communications (309 277 1222).
