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.
