Dishnetwork programming offer scam ?

I was contacted by an agent introduced him self as calling from dishnetwork to offer me programming package. I didn't accept the offer; I told him I am already having programming with dishnetwork.



He insisted that he can even save me more with my current programming. He asked me to provide my dishnetwork account number to be able to lookup my account. I gave it to him, he then asked me to call me back in 5 minutes to tell me what exactly how much saving I will get compared to my current account. Five minutes later, he called me back, he has all my programming info already, he reiterated his offer by which I'll get free DVR, free HD programming for 6 months, free installations and with the same programming package I already have, I'll be saving five dollars of my monthly bill.



I accepted the offer, sounds good so far! He told me the only way to get the offer is to set it up a new account, when I hesitated since I don't know the consequences on my existing programming or if there will be any interruption, he mentioned that nothing to worry and everything will go smooth.



I said OK, then he asked for a credit card info, I questioned him on that, he said for setting up an account, they will typically put one ($1) on hold and will returned back within 1 business day. Since I remember that this was the procedure when I first setup my account, then I gave it to him.



After he processed the transaction, he asked for the account setup information, I started giving him name, address, ..etc. He told me that to be able to get that offer; I should provide him with another name, since this offer is not valid for existing dishnetwork customers! WHATTTTT!



I told him that you already know that I am a dishnetwork customer, you contacted me from that prospective, you managed to pull my existing programming, and then you know that I am a customer, what a waste of time. He asked me to provide a friend's name or any other person's name and SSN, etc. I decided to finish the call and told him that I'm not interested. He told me to wait; he'll try get around this. I asked how, he quickly said, not to worry, and with a lowered voice I think he said something like he'll punch a name for a friend of him and will switch it later to my name. I said I don't understand what are you saying. He interrupted me by saying congratulations! The application went through; you'll be contacted by dish network within few days for installations. (I wasn't comfortable with that but since I didn't give any more information at that point, waited to see)



Couple of days later, I noticed a transaction made from my bank account by the amount of $9.98 by "VMC satellite (not dishnetwork)" and hasn't returned back. It's been a week and nobody called. I called that representative on the phone he gave me. Looked like was a cell phone or so, he answered the phone "same person". I was angry and, he asked for name to look my account up. Then he said, there's no way to look me up since I'm already a dishnetwork customer and not on their system, therefore he can't do anything for me. (At that point I remembered the friend's name thing that he whispered). I told him I don't know what you did, but I need my money. He said the best is to wait few days and the transaction should be reversed back automatically.



I called VMC satellite; they don't know a person with that name. I'm confused, a transaction was made by that company, then this person should be affiliated with them some how. He also provided a valid phone number to contact him, if it was a scam, I don't think he'll be providing any true information.

There's more than money that I'm concerned about, it's how my personal information and SSN, which was collected by him are used! Should I call the police to locate that person? dishnetwork, or what is the proper place to complain at since I know at least the phone number of the person (assuming his name is incorrect) or what should I do?Dishnetwork programming offer scam ?
I'd call DishNetwork's main number (it's on their website or your bill) and report this criminal to them.



For future reference, even though the installers are local, all programming and billing comes from Dish Network corporate - NOT THE INSTALLER. The installer can't (legally) do anything about your programming packages.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup?

I am looking for a reverse phone lookup service that will allow me to get details from a cell phone number. I know at white pages you can lookup land-line numbers, but I need a reverse cell phone lookup. All I need to get is a name and address from a certain cell phone number, I am grateful for any helpReverse Cell Phone Lookup?
You can find the information you are looking for at http://www.reversecellphonelook-ups.com. Using their reverse cell phone lookup tool you can get the name and address from any cell phone or landline number.
Haha... yah I think I know what position you're in, yah i was too



The only way to do this is to pay those guys... yep no way to get around them, nobody has set up a free phone tracker.



Best tracker that will give you the most FREE info is this cite http://www.cellphoneregistry.com/index.p鈥?/a>Reverse Cell Phone Lookup?
Sorry, but its actually illegal to give out cell phone information.

Cell phone companies like AT%26amp;T are trying to crack down on the people who do that.



Wish I could help!Reverse Cell Phone Lookup?
Unfortunately, there is not a free reverse cell phone lookup directory. I had to do a reverse lookup once and used http://Intelius.com/CellPhoneLookup



They charge you $5 for one lookup.
There are no truly free sites as cell phone records are NOT public records. To get the information requires that records searches be performed by a legitimate agency and they DO charge for this. You will find all kinds of sites that claim to be "free" but all you will get for free is the city and state. I have tried my personal cell phone number in many of these sites and they do not give correct info even at that. They usually come back and tell me that it is a landline number, which I know it is not
If you are trying to lookup a listed landline you can use whitepages. If the number is private or is a cell phone number, you will have to use a paid site.



I found a site that's cheap and gives accurate information.



I'll leave a link to the site below.

hope this helps...

Problems emailing/failure notices...need help please?

I've been getting several failure notices, and I googled for some reasons and I saw something called blacklisting. I'm not entirely sure why my IP address would be blacklisted. The blacklist lookup site said that this in red: NO REVERSE DNS (PTR) ASSIGNED and to have the administrator to assign it or something.

This is the email I got: It either said this or that such a domain does not exist:



Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.



%26lt;info@rmrg.com%26gt;:

76.253.152.46 does not like recipient.

Remote host said: 550 %26lt;info@rmrg.com%26gt;, Recipient unknown

Giving up on 76.253.152.46.Problems emailing/failure notices...need help please?
The reverse DNS issue has to be fixed by the network administrator. That means that whoever assigned the host name for this IP address didn't coordinate with the owner of the IP address block. If it's your IP address, did you set up reverse DNS for it? That's one of the responsibilities of people who 'own' IP addresses.



As for the email you got, it means exactly what it said. The mail server the email went to has no idea who or what "info@rmrg.com" is. Most likely, it's because there is no such email address. Check with whoever told you that you should email someone at that address.
Most commonly you must ask your ISP to create a PTR record, or delegate it to you. Most mail servers will not accept email from servers without PTR.



You can use Multi Blacklist check here http://www.magic-net.nl/black-list-check鈥?/a>

And check your PTR at this page http://www.magic-net.nl/dns-and-ip-tools鈥?/a>



This is the good practice to make your PTR record same as A record for your mail server record.

1.2.3.4 --- PTR Record ---%26gt; hostname.example.com

hostname.example.com --- A Record ---%26gt; 1.2.3.4Problems emailing/failure notices...need help please?
SOME of your failure notices are spam!!! and should be ignored! So please be careful about, and DO NOT click on any address given in a failure notice under any circumstance! PLEASE!



Some, if they are real, may indicate that you had a leedle tiny typo in the address to which you sent an email...



Some, if you sent an email with the correct address, may indicate:

(1) the person to whom you sent it, doesn't know you as a sender, and treated your email as spam

(2) the person to whom you sent it, had a busy receiving computer, and the busy receiving computer rejected the email out of being too busy or swamped with emails



You could just try again, if you're absolutely positive the address was right.



But again, absolutely, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, reply to, or click on, an address in an email sent from a "remote host"!!!Problems emailing/failure notices...need help please?
either you typed it in wrong or you have been blacklisted by the recipient.

when typing,watch those upper and lower case letters.

Domain search by contact/personal name?

Hi, :)



I think I already asked this a while back but I wanted some other answers too, from more people. :D



There are of course these WHOIS databases, where you can look up a domain owner's personal information, etc...



Is it possible, anywhere on the web, to do it in reverse, and look up a domain name by the contact address?



It would be like a lookup to see what domains a certain person owns, and their contact addresses, etc.



Is this kind of thing in existence? Anywhere at all on the web? Can you be absolutely certain?



If there is somewhere, could you please tell me where it is?



This isn't for me to stalk someone, it's me being stalked by someone else and i'm worried they could find me via my domains.



Thanks :o)Domain search by contact/personal name?
The only site I know which can possibly do something close to that is aboutus.org. I just tried that a while ago.

Do MSN email addresses end in: hotmail. com or msn.com?

Can an addy w/ msn.com be an IM handle? Also, does anyone know a FREE site that you can do reverse email lookup?



ThanksDo MSN email addresses end in: hotmail. com or msn.com?
You can use many different addresses as your IM addy in MSN.



@hotmail.co.uk @hotmail.com @gmail.com @yahoo.com @aol.com are examples.



The most common one is @hotmail.comDo MSN email addresses end in: hotmail. com or msn.com?

  • Anyone know 866-262-9537 Natelli Law Office?

    They call me about three times a week and leave a message on my answering machine as I do screen my calls. Their automated message says a law office but didn't give me a name in their automated message or who it was addressed to. I tried to do a reverse phone number lookup in other sites but turn up empty as 866 numbers can be anonymous. I called their 866 number on payphones numerous times(let them pay for charges for payphones and at late night, it is their voice mail)and they says Natelli Law Office (pronounced Nat Tell Lee). Seems they have 1 man and 3 women answering the 866 number but I never say anything and hang up.



    Does anyone here know who they are? Are they scammers?Anyone know 866-262-9537 Natelli Law Office?
    A check of the Lexis-Nexis directory reveals that there is no such law firm or individual attorney with the name of Natelli in the U.S.



    Good luck!Anyone know 866-262-9537 Natelli Law Office?
    they phoned my boss, office, house.Couldn't provide paperwork to substantiate claim.Contacted law society.Many complaints lodged.i got an apology %26amp; promise they would forward the papers.they never have.the law society is not impressed by Ms Natale operating collections under guise of a law office

    I would like to know if there is a tried and true way to look up the owner of a cell phone number.?

    I would love to hear from people who have tried intellius or 'reversephonedetective' dot come to get access to the information telling them who owns a particular cell phone number. I really wanted to use a site like this but they all say the same thing about the fact that the report 'may' give you owners name, address etc. So, even though they list the 'owners name' as one of the things that you get when you pay your fee of $14.95 it may ony give you things that you don't need like what cell company the person is with (what good would that do). Is there any one of those reverse cell phone lookup companies that typically gives owners names because that is all I really want is the owner's name.I would like to know if there is a tried and true way to look up the owner of a cell phone number.?
    its hard to come by unless your willing to pay big money
