Markata, Double Eagle D, et cetera have been flooding arizona with bullshit surveys to get information for their mothercompany Marathon Communications. I found this out by doing a reverse lookup online for the phone number 214-446-1900. I called them three times before they even admitted to having any association with the company Markata. Apparently they have the hardware that makes auto-calls to people for their survey in house at their Bothell, WA location:
Marathon Communications
22722 29th Drv SE Suite 120
Bothell, Wa 98021
So if you want to take a more direct approach to being removed from their machines, go there. Otherwise call the phone number 1-800-919-1000. If you call, it may take a few attempts - I personally had to resort to colorful explitives to convey my point which is why I suggest going to the source.
I hate them. So if you get a wild hair up your ass and want to bomb/fly an airplane into/shoot bullets at/piss on/eat or otherwise disrupt their flow of income, I would not be offended and would actually look forward to seeing their smoldering remains on the news.

I have been fighting telemarketers for over 8 months now. My main problem came from telemarketers using a 206 area code. A Seattle phone company, Marathon Communications (800 919 1000), provides phone numbers and acts as a buffer for the telemarketers. They use a fake name on caller ID (TMC, card services, Sat.inc etc) and a fake number you can't call back (206 415 8940,206 415 8880,206 415 8547 etc). When you call Marathon they won't give you the identity of the business that called you unless you subpoena them, which is what my Attorney General did. One company was Guardian Communications (309 277 1222) 3322 38th. Ave Moline IL. 61265. They called people on the DNC list, used illegal recorded messages, and called cell phones. They sold the numbers they got to DirecTV and Dish Network. North Carolina sued them for this a few months ago. Calls from illegal telemarketers are a huge problem 206 278 8691 and 206 278 8803 are just two of the dozens I have collected. Marathon also provides numbers to telemarketers such as, Evergreen telemarketers, Telemarketing Concepts, Global Contact Services, Bank of America Insurance and many others.
Does anybody know the purpose of these surveys? Do they ask for personal infomation that could be used by companies that provide phone numbers for a fee? Like Intelius (877 974 1500), located in Bellevue WA. (near Bothell) They are a online referance service specializing in locating individuals. They also provide telemarketing lists. Could there be a connection?
