Hey I posted the message below yesterday about letting QuinStreet company know if people continued receiving harassing and rude calls from these guys.
Just wanted to let everyone know that after I posted that comment yesterday I went back on College-Finders website and at the bottom of their webpage there is a Contact Us section. I clicked on there and wrote them a complaint, told them that calling every two hrs. all day long is excessive and uncalled for, that their call center reps were rude, and listed my phone number and told them to remove me from their list and not call me anymore or I was going to take legal action and I have not received a single call from them today. Don't know if it was due to that e-mail but here is the link if anyone else would like to try that route to get the calls to stop.

Elizabeth,
We just want to clarify that while QuinStreet does indeed own www.college-finder.com, QuinStreet is not the source of these calls. This is not a QuinStreet phone number and, if callers are referring to college-finder.com, they are doing so without our permission. We sympathize with you and others who are being subjected to these annoying and illegal tactics. We are also investigating the source of these calls.
Regards,
Dan Caul

I am getting incessant calls and being hung up on when I ask them to stop. The website redirects to "earnmydegree.com", giving the phone number at 877.824.7954. Notice that they don't offer an email alternative.
When you look on the www.college-finder.com website in their privacy section http://www.college-finder.com/privacy-policy/ it says they are affiliated with QuinStreet, Inc. out of California. This company is a online marketing company that locates online customers that are seeking specific services through internet searches, advertisements, and online information forms and then passes these potential business prospects and their "Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Information" to that specific company they are affiliated with. In order for College-Finder to get your info you would have had to of filled out an online information form, I did this when searching for scholarships online over a year ago and the calls just started at the beginning of October. I called QuinStreet Corporate Headquarters and requested to speak with someone to file a complaint. The representative I spoke with was very nice and helpful. She stated that they had received a couple other complaints via e-mail and that the main incident was from a woman stating that the people on the phone were unprofessional and harassing and that she had filed a complaint with the better business bureau. The representative stated that this complaint escalated the problem to QuinStreet's President and that they are actively looking into getting this issue addressed as if people are requesting to not be contacted further they should not be calling anymore. She also stated that this College-Finder company is correct in stating that they don't have to follow the Do Not Call List as the information they received would have been directly linked to a form where the phone number was voluntarily provided. She took my name and phone number just in case they needed to speak further with me concerning these phone calls and asked that if I was actually connected to someone again when I received a phone call from this number to see if I could obtain any additional information from them and give this info to QuinStreet for their investigation.
