I've read about this, but it's the first time it's happened to me. Despite being on the Do Not Call Registry I just received a pre-recorded message telling me that "the information I had requested on the Internet about extra income had been received" and it directed me to readfromhome.com. The incoming caller's number was blocked. So when I went to file a complaint at https://www.donotcall.gov/Complain/ComplainCheck.aspx instead of naming the Web site as the company I was complaining about, I named the company as HostingISP/readfromhome.com. I also called the ISP and asked if I could leave a message for the owner (it's lunchtime here). In the message I succinctly described what happened and advised him that I would be filing a complaint with the FTC over readfromhome.com and unfortunately I had to name his company as well. I predict this will become a more prevalent way of spamming in the not-too-distant future as spam filtering becomes more aggressive and accurate.
