GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — An unknown party or group is making calls to drycleaners claiming to have a large rug order in an attempt to defraud them of money.
John Dame, president of MyDoor Dry Cleaning and 24/7 Dry Cleaners, says that the perpetrators are using the telephone company’s TDD service — a teletype system used by the deaf to make calls — to maintain anonymity, relaying their requests through an unsuspecting live operator.
