Said they were SOS

Received a call from 724-260-8169 Friday Sept 14, 2012 at 3:53pm. Started out as a prerecorded message stateing that I had won $2500.00 dollars towards an all inclusive vacation for up to 4 people, in Cancun, Mexico. Press 1 to opt out, press 2 for futher information. Pressed #2, live male voice comes on the line. You've won $2500.00 towards an all inclusive vacation. When you check in do you have a major credit card that you can use such as, Visa,Master Card, ect.? Nope I say, click goes the line. The guy had hung up on me. So I called the "private" phone number that was showing on my caller ID. This is WCA Subscriber Services. Everytime that I pressed a number to try and get a live person, Please leave a message after the Beep. Beep, fast busy signal. Something smells rotten in the land of "Free" vacations with this company. I have filed a complaint with the FCC. On Monday I will file a complaint with the BBB. PROTECT your credit card, debit and bank information. If it sounds to good to be true, it is. This "company" also went or goes by TCG America Pittsburg, Inc. McMurry, Pa. When I did a company lookup, they were listed as being in Canonsburg, Pa.

They claim that you can go to their website and be removed from their calling lists: http://www.wcaconsent.com
Good luck with that. The bad news is there are thousands of complaints about this company not stopping the calls not to mention the unresolved complaints from the BBB that can't find a legitimate address for the company. All that can be found is a UPS drop box (The UPS Store #4567 - 2643 Gulf Bay Blvd Suite 1560-411, Clearwater, FL 33759) that is being used to launder the money out of this country or a virtual office in Las Vegas (Worldwide Commerce Associates, LLC 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D Las Vegas, NV 89103) with a receptionist answering the phone for multiple non-existent companies.

You are dealing with a company that is owned by a woman in India and registered in Cyprus. If you request to be removed from their calling list and the calls persist then you should continually file complaints with your Attorney Generals office and also file with:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done. The only option is to go after the companies that are outsourcing to overseas boiler rooms.
Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved. Since they are operating across borders it should become a federal felony and should be handled by the FBI under the RICO Act.
