Dish Network still telemarketing.
(734 298 7802) private is from Dish Network (888 332 1486). An illegal recorded message,with no call back number, no live operator etc. Telemarketer argued that he was not violating DNC because I called him. When I said no you called me. He said that because I pressed one, that I called him. Its hard to believe after DirecTV paying 5.3 million to the FTC that Dish Network would continue to do the same thing.

(972 385 9433) Dallas Tx is from Direct Dish, no way to get on DNC list when you call and voice mail is always full.

DMA Releases Latest Ethics Report; Refers Listing Service to FCC

December 20, 2005 –
The Direct Marketing Association’s (DMA) Committee on Ethical Business Practice reports that three companies, none of which are DMA members, failed to cooperate with DMA when asked respond to DMA’s request for information on their business practices in an attempt to reach appropriate complaint resolutions.

In addition, one of the three companies, SND Marketing Listing Service of Spring, TX, was referred to the Federal Communications Commission for possible action.
"The vast majority of cases reviewed by DMA’s Ethics Committees are resolved,” said Patricia Kachura, senior vice president for ethics and consumer affairs at DMA. “When companies fail to cooperate with DMA and the Committees suspect a possible legal violation, it is our policy to refer these companies to federal and state agencies for appropriate action, and that is what we are doing today.”

The following companies failed to cooperate with DMA’s Committee on Ethical Business Practice:
Intelius of Bellevue, WA, an online reference service specializing in locating individuals. The DMA Committee on Ethical Business Practice alleged that the company failed to confirm that sources of information for the reference service do not include marketing data, or whether and how consumers can remove their names from the service.

Primary Issues of Concern Based on 20 Current Cases:

1) Marketing information should not be used in individual look-up or reference services. Online reference services should not include information relating to consumers’ marketing transactions. Consumers would not reasonably expect that information about what they purchased, or how they responded in a marketing survey, would result in their inclusion in an online look-up service.
