They have recently started to call me asking for a Ramiro. I say this is "Amanda ----'s phone" and they say oh sorry for bothering you. Then, they call from another number, asking for the same guy, and I repeat it all over again and they say oh sorry for bothering you. It's a woman always. They did call in the afternoon then just now at 9:20PM!!

These guys call me from 8 in the morning til about 10 at night. If they were a professional company like they say that they are dont you think they would call at a decent hour...Wierd...

This caller has called me 4 times today from one number and twice from another.  What part of No  I'm not interested don't they understand?

If you have recently signed up for any student loans or federal aide for school, you got on this list most likely.  They will call until you answer....

These people call me everyday atleast 4 times a day.  I didn't know the number so I didn't pick it up.  They never leave a message.  If I don't know the number I don't pick up my phone calls.  If they leave a message, I will call them back.

Let's give them some of their own!! Couldn't take anymore and started picking up and giving them a hard time. (If you wait, someone will respond and start talking.) It's always either Colorado Technical University Online or American Intercontinental University Online. I asked why they were calling me -- they said I'd requested soemone call me with information about their programs (NOT) or I filled out some sort of survey (NOT). Told them I was reporting them to the FTC and that they should stop calling me. The calls continue. Did a Google search. These are both outfits owned by the same for-profit education company, Career Education Corp (NASDAQ: CECO.O). The company has been the subject of various SEC, DOJ and state Attorney General investigations for a laundry list of shyster activities over the years (See NY Times article from July 24, 2005, "The School That Skipped Ethics Class"). They are located in Hoffman Estates, IL -- 847 area code. The President and CEO is Gary McCullough and, according to their SEC filings, he makes $3.5 million a year. Their General Counsel is Jeffrey Ayers. I say we should ALL start calling and leaving messages for Messrs. McCullough and Ayers on their corporate office number, 847-781-3600. I intend to just thank them for the pleasure their company has provided me and my family with the over 400 calls we have received from their fine institutions of higher learning. After awhile, maybe I'll just start leaving no message at all -- just like they do. If everyone does it just once, it will totally tie up their corporate lines and their business -- which would be a wonderful thing.

I keep receiving calls on my cell phone from a woman asking for Nancy.  My mother-in-law's name is Nancy and when I inquire further the person just hangs up
