Monsters
I received about 400 copies of this just now. Calling the 888 number got my line siezed by some machine that attempted to talk to me. Calling the 619 number got an actual firm and a voice mail.
Does anyone know how to turn this over to the frauds division? The firm is in California and so am I. And this is monstrous, a denial of service attack on me tying up my line for ten minutes or more. I presume it is in retaliation for turning an earlier message from these people over to SpamCop.
Surely there is a way to deal with them?
