Active Periodic review: Harassing Calls 32

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I too have started receiving these call. I get called twice per day. I am not usually home when they call, so I keep getting voicemails from them that are 10 seconds of music before the call ends. I too am on the Do Not Call Registry, and have been for a long time.

There is a website where you can file a complaint for situations like these. They will not help with individual consumer issues, but they will forward the company info and complaint to law enforcement agencies. If there are enough complaints, they will prosecute. I encourage everyone to file a complaint so we can get them shut down.

These people don't care if you have registered with anyone - including them. They use a dialing program, and do not check the numbers in the national registry before calling. Even if you did get to talk to someone who said they would remove your number from their list, the chances of that happening are near zero.

I've been dealing with these people for over 6 months, and they keep telling me they have my account number, and i asked to speak to a supervisor and he transfered me and the supervisor was so rude and after i explained that these magazines they say I supposed to be getting, that I'm not. He told me he was gonna bill me for the full amount. and i told him i would get my lawyer's involved, and then i asked to speak to his supervisor and he told me "SO"...so i was like okay Mr. ###, I got so pissed off I just hung up the phone. Now I am trying to get a contact number because I am going to go after this company for harassing me. I've gone through this too long. So if anyone know how to reach this company please let me know...Thanks, V.Essa Dodd

I too am on the Do Not Call List and have recently started getting calls from "Active Periodic". When I saw their name on my caller id today, I answered the phone with "WHY are you calling me?" The guy was downright belligerent (not to mention illiterate) and said something like "WHY am i calling you, because your name came up on my screen, THAT'S WHY!" Geeze, this was downright scary since this ### has my number and maybe my address too. How can we found out who/what this "Active Periodic" is and why they can get away with harassing us? We've gotten calls from this outfit with three different area codes on their id. Any ideas/tips out there?

They have been calling me at all hours from [protected]. I at the same times get calls from a Mexican thick accent guy. He leaves no number and it just says Out of Area. I have told him to not call here. He keeps calling. I told him to learn English. Now he calls asking me to teach him English. He knows my address. It is very frightening. If any of us end up dead, maybe this will get some attention. I reported to do not call list. *57 can't pull up a number. U.S. West, Call Identification Center, [protected], should be open more than 8 hours. They say to call back during business hours.

Maybe if everyone who gets calls starting calling them four times a day and leaving messages without your phone number, they might get the message to check with the proper registry. If not it sure will relieve a little stress from your self.

I just got my first call from Active Periodic. The woman asked for me by name and when I responded that it was me, she hung up. I called the number back and was told by my cable phone company that it is an international number. The number that called me was [protected]. The whole thing didn't sound right so I immediately Binged it and got this complaint site.

This company continues to call and ask for my 15 year old son. When I initially asked why they were asking for him the representative tried to say "it was none of my business". I then asked for a supervisor, and he refused. He would not get off the line, then tried to act like he was someone else (a possible supervisor), and when i called him on it he proceeded to laugh about the situation. I hung up the phone, he then called back and asked for my son again. I filed a complaint about the phone calls, in hopes that they would possibly investigate the issue. Even if they are a legitimate company, the fact that their representatives take no concern when they are told they have been in contact with a minor is appalling.

Today march 31, I received a call at 10.18 am from Active Periodic using the number [protected] saying that I owe them one thousand dollars for magazines I ordered. I told them that I've never heard about, the male voice that called hung up. I tried many times to call them back and keep getting no answer. I immediately got this complaint site.

I have been getting calls continuosly from this company but with different phone numbers (as it appears on my tv), usually when I try to answer they hang up. However, this morning I answered and was told I took an online survey from Walmart/KMart and won a $50 gift certificate and told me it would be a $9.99 charge and which credit card did I think was the best. Then, I realized this is a scam and hung up and found other complaints on the computer about this company. It worries me that they even have my phone number. Something needs to be done about this company. I actually tried to call the number back but it doesn't ring.

I see that everyone is called by this Active Periodic from a 954 number. I have been receiving calls from Active Periodic with a [protected] number. No one ever answers when I pick up the phone and when I called them back, no answer as well. Weird. Does anyone know who is this company?
