... Just assume that ALL calls using a recorded message (which are illegal, unless you have given the caller written permission) are from a scammers.

Block the number if you can. Report all calls to FTC. https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

I have blocked this number -- no ring through, but call log shows 5-10 calls per day from these people. Yes, not a solution, as I am sure they will continue to call from a different number. I have gotten the same or similar call (all recorded messages) trying to get me to agree to 'free' medic alert or home security from at least 12 different phone numbers in the last 3 months (I keep a log and report each one to FTC.)

I keep getting unwanted calls from 201 268 5004.  Please inform them to stop.

Is this a scam? I actually waited for instructions to talk to a real person, and it hung up. Call back does not work either.

When the message begins, hit 5.  They say that will end the calls. We'll see.....

?

This number was a hang-up caller.  No message left.  Caller ID said "Wireless Caller".

A recorded message "If you are a senior citizen.........."  Then I hang up.  Calls regularly - can't stop

Got a call from this after 10 PM. I don't answer unknown numbers. But Googled it and read what others have said.  Want the calls to stop.

Saying "The Do Not Call list doesn't guard against ANY telemarketing" is silly. How can you count the telemarketing calls you *didn't* get? The advent of VOIP (Internet telephony) has made phone calls virtually as cheap as email. I can guarantee you this: without the Do Not Call Registry you'd now be getting *dozens* of calls a day from all kinds of legitimate businesses that currently leave you alone.

The Do Not Call list doesn't guard against ANY telemarketing.  It's one of those sham laws that appear to protect individuals but is totally unenforced.  It's what you get when it's legal to bribe politicians.

This number called my home on Saturday, 1/26/13 @ 9:48 am.  We are on the "do not call" list.  I could not disconnect, the recorded message was lenghtly and unwelcome.  I tried calling back but the number would not connect.

DO NOT CALL list does not guard against ALL telemarketing. If you have signed up for a service, and agreed that they can share your info with third party business, then you are going to get calls.

I want these calls to stop.  I have signed up for do not call and still I get them.

Do not Call List is a Fraud in its self!  The politicians left it up to the telemarketers to obtain the Do Not Call list from the Government and asks them to adhere to it.  Complaining to the list site seems to do nothing at all.  I have been complaining from the start and am now getting more call then before the effective date of the Legislation itself.  Thats our Government for you!  Keep voting them back in they really know how to write laws don't they!

called last night after 10:30 when I was asleep. want these calls to stop. Thank you

Also, there's no point trying to complain to their wireless carrier. They're using a disposable phone.

Get called daily and late at night. Tonight is was 9:30.

Folks, don't waste your time with the Do Not Call list. If telemarketers like this cared about the relevant communications laws, they wouldn't be calling so late at night.

Receiving daily calls from this number.  The one time I did answer the call I asked to be removed from their list.  I am already on the "do not call" list.

Here is a tip. Go ahead and pick up your phone but DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. Just hit the # key and hold it down, it sounds just like a fax machine signal. This only works on  home phones, not on cell phones.  These morons  that keep calling will get tired of wasting their cell phone minutes..

I received a call from this number this morning. ( Saturday)  i got a recoded message something about Seniors but I hung up.

next time they call I will the police

I received a call from 201-241-2388.  I don't know who it is, but I picked up and after I spoke, they hung up on me!!!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE CALLS?...I AM REGISTERED ON THE FEDERAL DO NOT CALL LIST TO STOP TELEMARKETERS FROM BOTHERING ME!

am on do not call list for a reason would appreciate if they would be kind enough to respect that

sick of it!

calls daily to sell senior citizen help product

I just received a call from this number too.  I didn't pick up and they did not leave a message.

Received same call and I do the same.   They call many times and never leave a message!
