Popular tech blog Ars Technica featured Caller Complaints in a post yesterday (Oct. 8) entitled - Caller Complaints gets Web 2.0 on phone spammers, scammers.

Nate Anderson, Senior Editor, writes: "...the Federal Trade Commission Do Not Call list largely put an end to the practice of commercial telemarketing...but that action--arguably the most popular government decision of the decade--didn't put a total end to the problem, and that's where CallerComplaints.com comes to the rescue."

Seeing the positive comments from users has been great. Here are some of our favorites:

* "Great resource for consumers to band together... I want to see companies that are behind these annoying calls shut down..." - mccartney172

* "Note caller complaints has also been useful for identifying craiglist scammers. I've referenced them several times, both as a buyer and seller." - recharged95

* "I've used this site and it is useful. At least I feel better after voicing my frustration publicly!" - miyaspot

I visited their page and found it to be a nice site for filing complaints in a way that makes the jokers who call all the time public.

The one thing that bothers me though is that my ip address has been blocked and I can't post all the numbers that call me with, voye for me ads, credit card debt, etc... Not sure why my ip was banned since the first time I tried to post there it said I was blocked. I figure that block a whole range of Ip's though.

So, why is that with some 210 Formal FTC Complaints already made against a telescammer that
calls itself "Opinion Research" out of all places
Henderson,NV has not been shut down and fined by
the FTC and where is Obama and his so-called US
Attorney General Eric Holder at on this or did
this scam operators have Obama,and NV Democrat US
Senator Harry Reid blessing after they must have
given lots of money to Obama & Reid political
campaigns or is this all more Barack Obama and
company total incompetence or what here?..I am on
the Federal Do Not Call Registery and Opinion
Poll phone number 702-932-2401 has called my also
unlisted telephone number twice in less then the
last 24 hours,so what good is a Do Not Call List
if Barack Obama,Eric Holder & DOJ & FTC Do Not
Enforce It And Refuse To Act On Our Complaints?
