our little medium is all grown up

Got a junk call (from 214-279-0990) just now on my mobile telephone. I think it’s my first ever in seven years.

In unrelated news, the humidity that was just barely unpleasant earlier today is now coming down as a very fine drizzle, a pleasant change, and very unusual for June. Mom tells me California has been getting rain that normally goes to Cascadia.

    i just got a call from that number today but i didn’t answer cuz i didn’t recognize the number so its a telemarketer, i figured out it was from dallas by googling the area code and then curiously searched the phone number and foudnur pae. did they only call once? email me back if u want. later.

    I googled 214-279-0990 & now I’m here. I just received a call from that number & didn’t answer. I thought it might be my psychotic ex from Tx. Finding this site puts me a little at ease.
    If anyone answers please DO post about it. I’m interested in finding out who it really is. Thanks!

    I got a call from this number too. The only way someone could have gotten the particular number on which I was called is from my business card. The only media related company that I have given this card to lately is ChoiceMedia. Has anyone here had any dealings with them and/or given them a card with their number?

    If you receive a telemarketing call from 214-279-0900, file a complaint with the FCC and FTC. Remember, prerecorded message calls are illegal.

    FTC: http://www.donotcall.gov
    FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints_general.html

    You can also file a complaint with your state’s attorney general’s office.

    Lately I’ve had repeated calls from a mortgage spammer in Oregon.
