After receiving three calls from this number in the past week in the AM caller finally spoke into the answering machine. When I picked up he said his name was “Arnold” and he was calling from the “National Protection Service”. Informed him we were on the National Do Not Call list and asked him to stop calling. Looked up National Protection Service on Google. Their number is 1-800-228-6160. Spoke to “Al” who said the calls were not coming from them and that there was nothing he could do. Dialed 888-986-8526 and a woman answered the call “National Protection Service”. I informed her that we were on the National Do Not Call list and that I was going to report them to the FTC. “What is the FTC?” She was angry and abusive. Called 1-800-228-6160 and asked to speak to a supervisor. “Ian” stated that he was one of the supervisors. He too, did not recognize the 888#. I described what had been happening, that we were on the Do Not Call list and would be reporting the calls to the FTC to which he replied that they wouldn’t do anything about it. I asked him if they conducted telemarketing calls to which he replied “Of Course we do.” I asked him if they recognize the Do Not Call list. He said he would remove our number from their databank/call list. I don’t know what good it will do, as he couldn’t verify that the calls were made by his company. If they were, it sure seems like an odd way to generate business.
