Finally left a voicemail... message was about lowering rate on a CC... junk. Also get calls from 206-496-0000

I have received three calls from this number concerning my mortgage and last call I waited for the rep. to get on the phone and asked for the name of the company he promptly hung up and when I tried to call back i go that the number does not exist.

I wish the FTC and the FCC would do something about this.

I answered, said hello several times, heard no response.

Caller ID read WASHINGTON.

I have my name on the no-call list

Almost daily calls saying the FBI has reported increased burglaries in my neighborhood (BS) and offers a security system.  It says you can opt out of future calls by pressing a button, but the calls go on and on.  Any legitimate company will honor your request to stop calling, so this is a scam.

I have received two (missed) calls from this number.  Annoying...

Prerecorded bullcrap about home mortgages.

I keep getting calls from #206-496-0980. I have no idea why they are calling, once I pick answer the phone, I can hear people in the back round, I keep saying "Hello", they hang up!  They NEVER leave a message.  I am on the National Do Not Call List, STOP CALLING ME!

Two of these calls on my cell phone within 3 hours! I dont know how they got my cell phone, but they also called from another number as well The 206 was from Seattle WA, and the 971 number they used was from Gresham, OR .. ridicoulous, there needs to be a law against these calls. However neither left a message.

In doing a little reserach I found the following! I will find more so we can all call this DB's home and cell phone!

RE:   Pacific Telecom Communications Group

File #:   424021



Dear


Our office has received your complaint regarding the phone calls you have been receiving. We understand how annoying and frustrating it is to receive unwanted telephone calls.



Unfortunately, unscrupulous telemarketers use a variety of methods to conceal their true identity and location in order to avoid detection. Sometimes, telemarketers obtain telephone numbers that are assigned to certain area codes and assign those numbers to telephone equipment that is not located in that area code. Another method telemarketers use to avoid detection is ?caller I.D. spoofing,? which means a telemarketer uses a false caller-identification number so that the phone number appearing on your caller I.D. is not the actual phone number of the telephone equipment placing the call.



We have determined that the telephone number you reported as the source of the calls is owned by Pacific Telecom Communications Group, which is located in Los Angeles, California. Pacific Telecom provides telephone numbers, many of which have Washington State area codes, to subscribers. However, many of the subscribers who obtain these telephone numbers from Pacific Telecom are not located in Washington State and could be located anywhere. Under these circumstances, there is very little this office can do to locate the physical presence of the party who is making the calls. However, you should report these calls to the Federal Trade Commission by filing a complaint online at: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.



If you would like to learn more about caller I.D. spoofing, you can find additional information on the Federal Communication Commission?s website: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing.



Thank you for contacting our office. Your correspondence will become a part of the public record

This guy is some piece of work, read this.  http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com/category/pacific-telecom-communications-group/

Illegal pre-recorded message to my DNC listed home phone.

I do not wish to receive anymore calls from this number!

Stop calling

So by your logic, people who got these calls before Obama became president got called by frauds is because Bush sold their numbers?

you idiots , it just made it worse for you .  OBAMA is happy to sell them your name and phone #

DUH, you believed this government? how dumb are you??

Do not call me again I am on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY!

I am on the do-not-call for many months. These CASH SERVICES people are breaking the law.

My number is on the Do Not Call Registry and I keep getting calls from this number, yet if one tries to call them back, one gets a message saying that it is a disconnected number belonging to Pacific Telecommunications Group.  How can they do that?  How can that be? They call at all hours of the day and night and I do not know what to do.

I'm in Phoenix, received call 12-28-12, 3:42p . . . automated message said "Important message about your mortgage. President Obama just signed $75 Billion stimulus package which includes homeowner protection laws.  The Gov't is requiring that your mortgage co make your mortgage more affordable.  Press 1 now if you are behind on your mortgage pmts, have an interest rate above 7%, have an adjustable rate mortgage or if you owe more than your home is worth.  You might be a victim of predatory lending & we can help.  You can benefit from the loan stimulus package with a loan restructure.  This is not a re-finance.  This is not based upon your credit score or your home's value. Press 1 now to speak with a live Restructure Specialist, press 2 to be removed from our list."

I asked who he is with / what company is calling me, he said we are "Home Retention".  I said "For who?  Wells Fargo?  Bank of America . . . ?"  He said "We're direct correspondents for all major banks".  I said you don't have a company name?  He again said "Home Retention".  I said "That's generic, but ok".  I explained situation (without giving any account or personal information & he did not ask for it) & he basically referred me to work back with my own mortgage company.  Apparently they can't help if you really do need it, so basically a big waste of time.

I also received a call from this number about lowering my mortgage. After I gave them some information, and started asking questions, they hung up on me. They gave me a website that had a phone number, but all you can do is leave a message. I left one, stating that I was contacting the government. By the way, the caller ID came up as Washington 206-496-0890 and his name was John. The do not call list does not work and never has. I signed up 3 times.

This is a recording about reducing your mortgage.They also call from 973-273-7820. Tried to text back to Remove but it is invalid.

Keep getting call from 206-496-0980 dont leave a message
