They are in Schaumburg, the info is correct. They are an IT Consulting firm. They do VOIP solutions as one of their practices and the RIAA is nothing more then a VOIP customer they support. PSC has no ties other then a VOIP system to the RIAA. PSC most likely designed the VOIP system for them. The other company SRI was in the same building but moved and it is a different company. PSC has been around since 1990 and does mostly application development.

shit and i told our webdesigners that they should not run this lightbulb thingy with the claim surrounding “listening”
I knew one day someone draw the conclusion to this “listening” company.
Those morons were even bold to ask for a registered trademark/claim.

It’s a big building and a much older company, and I didn’t find any information to suggest that they’re connected.

This also looks like a possible company at the same Schaumburg address given what they do. They also have an address in the state of Washington

Systems research Inc.
1051-Perimeter Drive
Schaumburg Ill

It was two employees of Directv who took there extortion calls. Those two employees were very useful in telling the whole story
of just how they got people to turn over money and tactics used.

Going to “terms of use” on the psclistens.com web site one finds a U.S. trademark registration number. A trademark database search produces the following corporate information:

PSC Group, LLC CORPORATION ILLINOIS
1051 Perimeter Drive Suite 500
Schaumburg ILLINOIS 60173

I would but I’ve given up. Although p2pnet gets slashdotted from time time time, it’s always from someone else’s post.

They ignore my ‘contributions’. Maybe they think it’s self-promotion? I dunno

Cheers!

Click on the Slash Dot it button and see if this can get onto the Slashdot.org ’s website. If that happens the news will spread like wildfire.

Many voip to pstn providers, including the free ones offer free connection to toll free numbers. Also, one can (politely) call once and ask about this company’s involvement with extortion.

Just remember that all toll-free numbers you dial WILL include the number you are calling from. The company can cross-reference the time they received the call with their monthly phone bill and get your number, or at least the number you are dialing from. Use a pay-phone or a friend’s phone from across town to call. EVEN IF YOU HAVE CALLER-ID BLOCKED they will still get your number. I inquired about that of my phone company since my caller-id is (supposedly) always blocked, but they told me that the caller-id exclusion is contractually allowed for toll-free numbers if requested by the companies. Of course it is always requested, so just keep this in mind when calling toll-free numbers, at least in the USA.

Oh… Also, looking up Accertify LLC in the IL Sec State database indicates that the company was formed in March 2007, and its old name was Obexa LLC (changed in May 2007 to Accertify LLC). The registered agent is a document processing company that handles that sort of thing for all sorts of companies.

The Illinois address comes back in a search on the IL Sec State’s website for PSC. It lists one Andrew J. Lauter as the registered agent for the company. A Google search indicates that he is the president of that company, and is also the CTO of Accertify LLC, a company that specializes in CC/check fraud prevention. The Google search also indicates that PSC stands for “Precision Systems Concepts”.

Looking at the Accertify website, the listed address is the same - 1051 Perimeter Drive - just a door or two down in Suite 510. In fact, most of the officers of Accertify were previously either officers or executives for either Orbitz (before it was sold to Cendant) or PSC Group. It also indicates that PSC Group did some work for Orbitz concerning fraud prevention back in 2001.

Even nicer is if someone could call as the “RIAA”and social engineer verification from this company. Once it is proven beyond a doubt that this company is guilty, then all hell should be unleashed on this company. I’m talking about shaming this company’s clients to do business with other companies if this company does not immediately dump the RIAA. Enough with unethical businesses getting away with what ever they want.

Be nice if folks in the neighborhood could drive by & confirm what is at those addresses.
