5. I'm not sure if it's right here in Mankato or not, sorry...I know they have
offices in a couple locations, but the company was started here in Mankato. Can you give me more info as to what you need, and I'll do my best to find out!

4. How did you find the identity of who called you? I've been getting
a number of calls on my cell phone from numbers I don't recognize, so I won't anaswer them, but each time I write the number down & check it on the net. Most often all I can get is the state of origin, and sometimes no info is found. There were 2 different one that called repeatedly, so I tried calling back from my VOIP phone. One was a arecorded message that said "You have reached the call center, please enter your password." I took a guess and was instantly disconnected. The other one was from the one you listed in Az. I LIVE IN GEORGIA!!!!

Obviously I can't join you to picket, but I'd love to stop these pesky calls! How did you identify the actual calling party?

7. It was an educated guess on my part, but confirmed by HuffPo...
the call center where I used to work outsourced its call center work to Canada for cheaper labor; FLS took over the building where I used to work, and I know who and what they are, so I called it before it hit HuffPo, late last night...and all the threads about this sank like the Titanic *lol*

8. I could SO get behind this effort

What is this list you present? Surely all of this long LONG list of contacts is not responsible for the reprehensible robo-calls?

Give me a couple of numbers. Tell me who they are with respect to the robo-calls , and I will call with fierceness!

12. The list is of clients who use the services of FLS. The FLS numbers
are at the beginning of the post. The clients are those we can boycott, call to ask that they end their affiliation with FLS, etc.
But the company responsible for the robocalls is FLS and their Minnesota and Arizona offices should be getting phone calls/emails/faxes from all of us!
