voicestream/att phone spamming

[George Toft]

Yes, 10:30 at night.

I complained to their ISP (no response) and their e-mail provider
(won't do anything without the e-mail headers).

I went to their web site this morning, and strangely enough, it has
been removed from DNS.  Cool!!! I guess delisting is response enough!
I searched google.com and there are 93 entries with their name.  They 
have a bunch of web sites under different providers.  Shall we search
them all out and complain to their ISP's?

http://www.azbanking.com/Lists/MB_List.HTML shows this outfit is
a home-office.

Since several of have been afflicted with this, I suggest we follow
though with David's suggestions.

Here's the message I sent to one of their former ISP's:

Abuse Department,

Your customer spammed my phone.  I can't tell you how novel it is
to receive phone spam at 10:30pm.  Everyone's asleep and the phone 
goes beep beep beep!!!  beep beep beep!!!  beep beep beep!!!  Below 
is the message and the traceback to your network.

Needless to say, even though I am in the market for a mortgage for
a house in the Phoenix Valley - as are several of my co-workers - I 
am not recommending Acacia National Mortgage Corporation to them,
nor will I condone a company that e-mails phones at 10:30pm.

Please deal with this issue.  Thank you.
