They are calling my office’s toll free number about 6 times a day and not leaving a message. I’m in NW Indiana. I just called them back (hit redial) and there is an option to dial extension 205 to be placed on their Do Not Call list. Give that a try. I did-so I’ll be interested to see if it works.

They are still at it!! After recieving multiple daily harassment calls from this number, I looked it up on the net and found you here. I live in the Chicagoland area. I haven’t even been ANYWHERE west of the state of llinois… Why is this company from Seattle annoying me? I also filed a complaint…

I just got a call from them claiming they wanted to give me the New York Post (I live in CA) for free. Has anyone thought of contacting the SeatlePI or the Post to complain about this company…?

Seems if we get their customers to start questioning their practices, they may change faster than based on FCC complaints.

I live in the Chicago area and I am receiving annoying calls from this number,as well. Thanks for the information about filing a complaint. You all have saved me a lot of time researching the steps to take. I’m not sure how much good it will do, but I’m hopeful.

This same phone number (623)878-4178 has been calling my home for months at least 6 to 9 times a day! I have had enough! I have two children under the age of 2 who take naps at different times of the day and it seems like every time I get one to sleep the phone starts ringing off the hook. I am not sure of what steps I should take to get my number off of their list…this is harrassment.

“IMG of AZ. LLC” has been calling me twice a day for the last 3 weeks. I never pick their phone and have never received any message. If this is on behalf of Seattle Times, I am going to suspend my sunday newspaper too. Sucks

IMG has been calling here at least twice a day for weeks. Googling “IMG of AZ, LLC” led me to this thread. Nice to know we’re not the only ones these nimrods are bugging. I’m thinking of calling the Seattle Times-P.I. and doing as Mike suggested above–changing my contact number to 623-878-4178. LMAO

I’ve gotten 4 calls at work today so far, with no messages; have received numerous calls in the past but never thought to investigate until now. I’m also in Seattle, and a Sunday Times subscriber. Thanks for doing the legwork on this — will definitely lodge my complaints (“existing business relationship” or not, they can kiss my you know what).

By: Mike

Mike — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:07:51 +0000

Complaints will likely go nowhere as many of us have an “existing business relationship” by just having a Times or PI subscription, which allows IMG to contact us.

Best bet is to call the Times or PI and ask to be removed from their calling lists as noted above or update your account information and change your contact phone number to 623-878-4178. ;)

Yeah, I was a sucker and answered one of the incoming calls on my cell phone only to hear a recording tell me, “This is a marketing call from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Sorry, there are no representatives available to take your call.” No one to take *my* call?!?

Anyway, the PI just put this article out too – Cell phones still safe from telemarketers (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/283576_tf105.html).

Lame.

Same as the rest, it’s the Seattle Times. I called them at 206-464-2121 and asked to be placed on their Do Not Call List. They seemed fine with that. We’ll see. Thanks for letting me know who was doing the calling.

These idiots have called me at work and at home. We seem to have something in common in Seattle. We subscribe to the Seattle Times. Complaint filed.

Hello,

I live in the Chicago area and have had numerous calls from this number. I googled the number and was sent here. I am now going to lodge a complaint. The weird this is that my number is unlisted. It has amazed me that they were able to receive my number.

Jeff — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 21:32:14 +0000

I live in Seattle, and just got one of these calls at work. The caller ID showed something like “IMG of AZ, LLC”.

I google’d “623 878 4178″ and found this thread.

I’ve reported IMG of AZ to the FCC after a month of almost daily no message/hangup calls. Hope they burn.

Amy — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 00:12:43 +0000

I am also in the Seattle area and have been annoyed by these calls at least twice a day for the last five days. After reading the post just above mine, I am convinced the calls to me are from representatives for the Seattle Times, as they have done this to me before using different telemarketers. I WILL be filing a complaint because I don’t know how many times I have to tell them I can barely read the Sunday paper, and getting a paper everyday would just be wasteful. Anyway, thanks so much, Jim, for your site–I wish someone would do this for all the annoying companies and their phone numbers–they seem to know how to slip through the loopholes in the Do Not Call Registry guidelines.

of course, google also brought me here. rather, infinite markeing group really brought me here.

i notice that some of the above posters also live in seattle, and that in fact at least one client of these idiots is the times/pi. i would suggest that anyone in the seattle area who would assumedly be getting these calls on behalf of said newspapers should let those papers know how irritating is is to be so bothered by by their agents. i will, as well.

Dang, they just called me again -- 2:28 p.m. -- and this time there was a person on the other end representing the Seattle Times. I also found a reference to Yahoo using their services.

Wayne — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 21:00:41 +0000

Funny, they just called me again, and this time I answered. It turns out that they were marketing for the Seattle Times-P.I. Frank Blethen strikes again!

When I posted my last comment, I didnt’realize that you were in the Northwest. I found out by scrolling around your blog. Very nice!

By: jim

jim — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 20:46:57 +0000

Coincidentally, ten minutes after the previous comment, guess who just called.

Filed complains with the Do Not Call registry and the FCC (#06-W11636677).

Thanks to you and your commenters for posting this valuable information. I have been hearing from Infinite Marketing several times a week. Taking your advice, I filed an FCC complaint that hopefully will get them off our collective backs.

liz — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 15:08:09 +0000

I just started getting calls on my cell phone from this same number. I looked through Infinite Marketing Group’s website and had a good laugh at the two frat boys running the company.

I’ll file complaints with the FCC as well.
