Call received ll:35, apr. 9th, from 1206 496 0926 from "ANNOUNCEMENT".  I did not answer this call as I do not answer calls with  an unfamiliar number.

I have gotten the "FBI home breakin" robocall FOUR TIMES today, once while I was still asleep! Isn't there a law against phone harassment? I'm on the "do-not-call" list! I have only an ordinary land-line phone and no way to know who is calling or from what number.

Well apparently the number has been re-connected cause I just got a call from it this afternoon.  Didn't pickup; never do on any number I don't know.

When they called my house yesterday, it came up "ANNOUNCEMENT" on our caller ID. I didn't answer the call. So I let the answering machine get it & when the machine picked up the call,they hung up almost immediately.

I got this # and it says ANNOUNCEMENT...my answering machine picked up and it hung up. But my machine says, " if you are a telemarketer go and hang up I have caller ID and won't be answering!" So my assumption is a telemarketer!??

ANNOUNCEMENT. As soon as I see an area code that begins 20x, I don't pick up the call.

Reading this forum I get the impression this company is in to roto-call big time.  I've used up all my call blocking on my Panasonic Phone so I will take the advice of one of the writers and purchase a Digitone Call Blocker.  I remember when I was a kid (back in the 50ties) we would get these sales calls about the time we sat down to eat. Mom and Dad would get so mad. I have kept a log on all telemarketer calls (since November) and will start reporting them.  I'm interested in finding out if it does any good.  Almost all of you says it won't.

Recorded message trying to sell home security system.

called today, came in as "Announcement"  Gave options to press 1 for discontinued calls.  Supposedly offering FREE SECURITY SETUP FOR YOUR HOME.  FREE

Called back recording disconnected no# not in service

Says " ANNOUCEMENT  "   These morons can't even spell correctly.

5th call and hang up today. DNC list is useless.....

January 25, 2013

Never push 1 to get off the list or get a person.  We did that and we got even more calls from them because they know it's a legitimate number.  I just put in complaints to the no calls lists and hope they get enough to go after them.  This one let my phone ring a very long time and my machine didn't pick up.

Still waiting for that 'ANNOUCEMENT' .....(That's the spelling as shown on Caller ID, is this a clue that this is not an English speaking scam. Is that you China? )

Numerous calls since October.  Scam for sure as they hang up as soon as answering machine comes on.  Do not want to leave information that could be used against them in court if they get caught.  Would be nice if they were caught, would it not?  Thieves have no respect for the do not call list remember.  They are no different than the door thieves over the holidays.  The calls stopped right before Christmas and started back an hour ago.  Sigh.  Here I thought they gave up, silly me.

Just got a call from this number. The caller I'd said Annoucement...French spelling of announcement? No message left.

4 more calls to report, quite the variety of nonsense names and numbers, most being new to my rotation of annoyance.  And I love getting early morning calls almost every day too:

417-800-2305 @ 2013-01-09 09:00am - INS (new for me)
541-981-4228 @ 2013-01-10 09:25am - 5419814228 (new for me)
206-496-0929 @ 2013-01-10 02:23pm - ANNOUNCEMENT (previously WINNER)
614-569-2782 @ 2013-01-11 01:55pm - SERVICE DEPT (new for me)

The Do Not Call List is as much as a fraud as the politicians, that used tax payer money, to waste time setting this up. As with everything else they have their finger in, it is a failure.

Received call from 206-496-0929 with caller ID of :  Annoucement. (this is the way it was spelled).  Of course, I don't answer 75% of my calls because of scammers.  I would like to thank the Feds for the DNC List......like everything else they do, it won't work!

206-496-0929 phoned my house phone and the Caller ID said only "Announcement."  They didn't leave a message on my answering machine; they hung up after 4 rings.

Got a call this morning from this number, answer machine came on but they didn't leave a message.  The ID said Announcement.

The only thing that works is to 'block' the caller's number. Even then, the scamsters are often using a fake number they call through from their 'boiler room' or offshore. Comcast, TDS and AT&T all have call blocking features.

If you answer in person, you have given these creeps (or their robots, when they are robo-calls) a number to sell to other creeps and a time when an actual human will answer. Watch your caller ID and let them leave a message. Most of them don't. Important callers leave messages; even collectors.

Hope this helps someone. I don't trust the "do not call" list anymore, after some things I've read on these message boards.

On the "no call" list but to no avail these objectionable calls get through.

I had my fax pick up the call ... :)

Numerous calls since October.  Scam for sure as they hang up as soon as answering machine comes on.  Do not want to leave information that could be used against them in court if they get caught.  Would be nice if they were caught, would it not?  Thieves have no respect for the do not call list remember.  They are no different than the door thieves this time of year.

I've started answering these phone calls with "Pacific Telecom... How can I help?" or "AT&T Nuisance Bureau ..." or even "San Francisco Police Department...."
REALLY get's em!

Or get a voip service and block them all.  Thats what I just started to do.

Good luck

You just wasted your time.......

Something really needs to be done about all these scam calls.

This number phones me very often.  I have pushed the do not call number many times which did nothing.  I am an elderly person who takes naps and do not like being woke up, getting up and going to the other room only to find this company calling me.  Please take me off there list.
