I have received probably 20 calls from them, after being on their do not call list since day 1, just got a new cell phone, and they have that number already... put on do not call list, lets see if i get any more on my cell...

"WASHINGTON" on the caller ID. All these calls from hacked numbers are getting completely out of hand.
How do we stop this?!
When I can, I also let the fax machine pick up. Sometimes it slows the calls.

DO NOT CALL ANY MORE
| William Love, Sr. 2012-10-03 01:28:36 Telemarketer |
Extremely rude and will not stop calling even when asked to be put on the do not call list

These people call relentlessly. They need to be shut down. I consider this harassment. They say they say something about credit card debt. We are on "Do not call" and they keep calling.

I'm on the do not call list but I get calls from this number! Next time I'll answer so I can file a formal complaint.

Just got a call from them. They did not leave a message. When I called back I got a recorded message saying "you received a call from a commercial entity. If you would like to be removed press 1 at any time". They never say who they are. I'M ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST! Obviously they don't care about that. Someone, please answer and get their info so we can go after them.
| Kathy 2012-09-28 04:54:38 Unknown |
Just another scam call.. push the 1 and blow a whistle or use a canned boat horn on em. They don't like that!
| Tom 2012-09-26 23:06:19 Telemarketer |
Unrecognized out of area call so I didn't answer. Robocall went to message, "How to lower your debt!"
Sorry, don't have debt. Thanks anyway. Bye.

YES you can get a fee for being called. Basically the law is pretty clear IF you are on the do not call list and you are called more than once you can sue for $500 per violation in conciliation court. BUT you have to prove you were called (picture of caller ID should work) and PROVE you are on the do not call list (print out from their website should work) and then you have to pay to file in conciliation court (usually around $50-$80 depending on the state) and then serve the offending party and then show up for court and present your case. Then after all that when you win you still have to fight to get paid....so yes technically there is a fine but it's a lot of work and in the end you might get nothing.
I like how the do not call list fines all these companies (remember the Dish Network settlement for tens of millions) and what did the consumer get? Like $20....what a joke!

Caller didn't say anything, just hung on for 15 seconds before hanging up the phone
| KELLY 2012-09-24 16:39:48 Telemarketer |

It was a telemarketer selling GE alarm home monitoring systems. Charles there is a real dick and spewed some crap out of his assmouth. Runup their phone bill (as they don't hang up when they're done) by leaving them on mute with the line still active.
| Bark 2012-09-20 23:00:50 Telemarketer |
the same FBI reports that..... scare scam. On to the blocked list.
| Vinny 2012-09-20 17:45:15 Unknown |
Got the call Today at 11:28 AM, no msg left.
| Roger 2012-09-20 02:41:35 Telemarketer |
Have had 2 calls from this number - first about three weeks ago. Pressed "9" and it terminated the call. When they called back today, pressed "2" for more information, got a human being, told him I was on the federal "do not call list", then blew a referee's whistle as loudly as I could into the mouthpiece before he could hang up. That technique has worked on the "reduce your student loans" scam, so maybe it will on this one too.
| ANNOYED 2012-09-20 02:11:57 Unknown |
Have had several hang up calls from this number in the last three days. I think now they have my cell # as well, and I give that out to NO ONE.

Got call from 206-496-0985 on Wed. 9-19-12 @443 PM and the call was listed with the Caller ID as 'Washington'. The Robo-call started with = "The FBI states that a house is broken into every 15 minutes. If U allow us to put a sign in your front yard we will put in a state of the art Security System Free". It goes on instructing U to press "1 for more information". So of course I pressed 1 and a female came on the line asking " R U Interested in the free Security System?" And I answered "Yes" she then said "Just a moment" and it was like she put me on hold, (but I think she actually had read some info on her screen about past background on previous calls to my number), and disconnected me. I think these people also repeat call just to attempt to harass and tick people off.
Guess they are getting really SCARED of and have documented my "SCAMMER HORN".
Will get them with the "HORN" next time.
| Kate 2012-09-19 20:30:40 Telemarketer |
Same story as others. Robo caller gives FBI warning, then offers a free security system install in exchange for a small sign in the yard. My number is on the DNC list.

Another call from Washington left no message on my answering machine. So it's got to be a scam.
They called before and left no message. never press any number on your phone.phone to get connected. NO way, when you do that you could be connected to a long distance over seas number you'll be charged for, this is one of the ways these scams make their money, even if you hand up they don't care they made money by you having to pay for that call. Only press numbers of a place you know for sure (or bank etc or a number you called that is legitimate)- and again that red flag should go up when offered a big prize for a few seconds up your time. I just hung up, I hope you do to.
On my called ID it displayed Washington.NOTE:
If the area code is 284, 809 or 876, you've called Jamaica, the Dominican Republic or the British Virgin Islands, new hotbed homes of telephone scams. Similar cons are also run out of other Caribbean islands.
For these calls, you'll typically pay $1.49 to $3.99 per minute, depending on the plan and carrier. You're never told this, but the numbers function like American "premium rate" lines that use the 900 area code, with sky-high rates that are split between phone companies and those who operate the lines.
Dial one of these Caribbean numbers and chances are you'll get pitched for some scam. But the thieves' real goal is often just to keep you on the line as long as possible and maximize their take. You'll endure long holds, frequent transfers and lots of small talk. Result: A call lasting just a few minutes can cost more than $20, a charge you discover only when your phone bill arrives.
