HARASSING TELEMARKETER ROBO SCAM CALLS?
Did you ever wonder why you get so many unsolicited calls?
Do you wonder why some won't even talk to you let alone remove you from their "calling list"? And how come they keep calling and calling knowing you would never use one of their phoney products? The reason is because these criminal scam artists are being rewarded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Not for selling you products that don't exist, but because of a ridiculous system whereby the telecommunication giants and the federal government together, in the true spirit of corporatrocacy, are allowing it. Be damned with the consumer, who pays for this corruption in many ways.
This is how it's done. The bottom feeders who harass you incessantly generate their ill gotten money from each robocall through a small tariff your phone company must pay to access the caller ID information for the incoming call. Your phone company covers these costs by building them into your monthly bills.  Yes, you’re paying to see the name “Card Services” appear on your phone, even if you don’t answer the call. This process is called CNAM dipping. These vast CNAM databases associate a phone number with the caller ID text that will be displayed during a phone call. When a phone call is placed using one of these phone numbers, the telephone company receiving the call must pay a small fee of less than a cent to retrieve the caller Id text from the database. These are called CNAM “dip” fees and refer to the process of “dipping” into the Caller Id database to retrieve the calling name text.
One well known scammer known as "Card Services" makes 2.4 million calls per day at .001 cents kickback per call. This comes to $16,800 per week.

WHAT IS CNAM DIP?
(watch video below)

Every call to a U.S. telephone number that has Caller ID (CID) enabled requires that the terminating phone company perform a lookup in one of several national databases (also known as line information database or LIDB) that contain all the U.S. subscriber names and numbers. This database lookup is called a CNAM dip. When this database is being ‘dipped’ the originating local phone company gets compensated by the terminating phone company – this is commonly referred to as a CNAM dip fee (or simply a dip fee). This compensation happens for every call where the calling party name is displayed to the called party – even if the call is not answered. CNAM Revenue Sharing is when parties that are able to receive CNAM revenue share this with the parties responsible for generating the CNAM revenue.

 

The FTC and state regulators have had full knowledge that these scams are taking place since 2011. Unfortunately, these regulatory agencies have failed to take any action to put an end to this conduct. At this point, the best way to encourage regulators to take action may be through a social media campaign that includes Facebook and Twitter. It is important to hold our elected leaders accountable for their failure to enforce telemarketing laws.
