Does anyone else get phone calls from some guy named Goldberg?

[takethemoney]

I think this is the same guy. First time he called me from Diamond VIP and said he was given my name by Michael Baxter who used to be with Rushmore. The other day same guy, same voice called me and said he was calling from Las Vegas. I feel like I'm talking to a Mafioso. The guy just has that swagger, voice, and makes me really uncomfortable. I've told these guys I'm not interested. I told Michael Baxter, via email, to basically get out of my life a few months ago, then he has the audacity to email me again a few days ago. These guys just creep me out. Anyone else? It upsets me that my personal information was taken from Rushmore group, who's accounts I closed, by Michael Baxter, and is being disseminated to people.

These are the kind of guys who give the industry a bad name, but I fear we will see more of them chasing after players, especially among smaller and less ethical operators squeezed by the hostile enforcement environment in the US, which must be cutting into their available player base.

The operatoir, Morriyen Investments, appears to be a Cyprus-based media company with online casino interests like Diceland Casino.

From the "About Us" section: "At Morriyen Investments we monopolize on this by combining the leadership qualities of Ex Special Forces soldiers with experienced financial analysts, award winning graphic designers and wiz-kid computer engineers!"

Morriyen also appears to have connections with the notorious Curgam Malta Ltd and Mighty Slots.

DiamondVIP is a relatively new outfit (launched early this year, I think) which is powered by Top Game and offers little upfront information on licensing or ownership.

That, combined with the adverse impression created by the likes of Mr. Goldberg, should warn any player to be cautious.

dishonorably discharged?

These guys leave countless messages on my land line answering machine...drives me nuts. I actually do not know if his name is Goldberg as I have never picked up the phone to speak to him.

Thanks for pointing this out, jetset. Clearly tells me what we must not do if we don't want to discontent our customers.

I get calls all the time, actually recorded messages from "Christopher D'Angelo" of Cool Cat Casino and then another call from him pimping some other casino. Unfortunately the calls come in pairs because I get them on both my cell phone number and my home number. Pain in the butt. But don't know how to stop his auto calls......

I was going to say the same but you beat me to it.

[Contraband]

I used to get weird calls from giving my number to online casinos so I started using Google Voice and giving that number when I sign up anywhere. I set it to not forward calls to my phone so I only get voice mails via email if anyone calls. I hate annoying calls where they want a deposit, or the ones with somebody with an accent and I have no idea what they are even talking about, google voice has eliminated all that for me. You guys should check it out, don't think you even need a gmail email address to get a number on google voice.

i get phone calls from a guy promoting cirrus casino. but i think cool cat called and its the same voice. i never pick up but about once a month i get the call. i never dep or give any money to these rogue casinos but way back in my past i had used the free chip just to play it out. now they haunt me.

[LHofsdal]

I too was getting atleast 5 calls a day from ol' Christopher D. You know how I got them to stop. I got some guy who called, it was an actual person, and when I answered I said "Federal Agent Lori Garcia-Hofsdal, what can I help you with?" Heard a click and no one has called since. BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
