My fiance and I have recieved numerous calls from this number and have called them to have our number removed. Today they called twice, once at 7:30 am cst and then about 9:30am.
I called them back told them to take our number off of their calling list, if they didn't I would call the At.. Gen. Office. Hopefully this work.

They appear to be running several scams, including one where they try to get consumers to buy various "grant writing", "government grant", "home based business", or "internet business opportunity" packages for a couple bucks supposedly for "shipping and handling", but then start running thru larger charges on the consumer's account. Although there are some complaints from people suckered in, most complaints appear to be of incessant hang-up calls, or calls with no-one even on the line.
Here is one of their pitches:

Alert!
They call me too. BUT! A woman answer to me, she said, "We are going to send you a free goverment grant, you can use it for busines, education or your house, so you'll receive a free packege by mail, you just have to give us your credit or debit card information to charge...just $1.99 for shipping"
Actually, they have your address, and your email!She told me. Any one can!
BUT, of course that I said,
"We dont have any card" she said "Ok, Thank you" and hang up.
BE carefull the number was 1-213-452-6539. "
There has been some speculation about where they were located, but BBB now has a report on them, as of 1-25-08, including their address in L.A. and the above phone number, but with no complaint information. They show a "CC" rating (Average), but there must be some reason the file was opened on them, probably with complaints received but not yet responded to, so they don't show meaningful statistics and the rating probably has no validity.
From their BBB report:

If your number is on the Do Not Call list, or they are calling your cell phone, just file a complaint with FTC. If not, put it on the Do Not Call list. Also file complaints with FCC, your state AG, and the California AG. Although they are widely reported to be harassing many people just like they are harassing you, nothing but enough complaints to get government action is likely to stop them.
Today we have received 2 unsolisited telephone calls on our wireless telephone. No one is on the line when answered. We are on the DO NOT CALL list,

Doesn't look like complaints have had much impact on Global Reach.
