I'M getting calls to further my education and when REFUSE the offer and asked to be removed from their calling list ..I'M mocked and because the number only appears as 208 ... I cnt call and complain because only 208  comes across my cellular caller id and the calls become a daily taunt from the 208 caller and the calls become excessive daily.. How can these calls exist ? How can I find out the full 10 digits and how  is it my 10 digit personal num is available to these callers yet their numbers are concealed ?

Called me six times today... should i answer and say do not call again? does that work?

This number has been calling me for te past week and I finally answered today she said she wanted to speak to my parents and she knew my name . When I told her they weren't available she hung up.

It was a person doing a college survey. Super annoying

This number has called me at least once a day for the last week. Harassment, much?

This person calls my cell phone 7-8 times per day. I've called back but the 'mailbox is full'.

I've alerted the feds and the Boise Police.

They now show up as STAMATS also

called today. I did not answer due it to being a sneaky telemarketer

Female caller at 9:30 p.m.  Said it was a "survey".  Not interested.  She got pushy, "This is an important survey..."  I hung up.

Received a call at 9:30 p.m tonight.  Caller ID said "ORC" with area code 208.  I do know someone with that area code.  I decided to pick up.  Female said she was conducting a survey.  I said, "not interested".  She got demanding and said, "This is an important survey..."  I hung up.

Received call on my cell phone. Woman was conducting a survey for CNN. I asked her to please do not call this number again. She seemed surprised by my request.

This person has called me 3 times on my cell phone , Didn't leave messages any of the times.

I don't know anyone in Idaho either.

Did not answer it.

Rcvd a call from 208-515-7485; didn't take the call, no msg was left.  
Caller Description:  ORC

Received a call from 208/515/7485  on my cell phone.  I hung up as soon as I saw it was someone selling something.  I did ask her how she got my cell number, she said they picked numbers from random.  I told her well she could just remove my number. I hung up.

After I Googled many sites regarding this telephone number, I then Googled ORC and found : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_Research_Corporation.
I found this # as being part of the ORC--Opinion Research Corp.

They have done CNN & political polls of which many of us rec'd 20-30 calls a day on our home phones from both parties during Aug-November! Now our cellphones?
I hope you kept your lists & like me, forwarding them to our Congresspeople to overwhelm them to have to do something about these harrassing calls when we are on a DoNotCall list or on our restricted cell service they aren't permitted to call - but get a number and like robo calls maybe dial them all. Unless they have someone like a Verizon employee (?) feeding them our numbers which I doubt.

They have a site with poll results taken if you want to do further political checking. I also found this # as being from Brainerd,MN. & another comment as them being Leap Wireless Intl., Inc., DBA Cricket Comm., Inc. I am so sick of all these harrassing calls! The only other way I read to try to stop them is to do the following. In meantime, have a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

Following the comments at the bottom of another comment page was:
How do I stop them from calling?
1.    Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
2.    If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
3.    Block them with a call blocker:
o     Uniden DECT1288 blocks up to 20 numbers, plus Private and Unknown, with the reject tone, without ringing the phone.
o     Panasonic KX-TG106 blocks up to 30 numbers, plus all unidentified callers, with a busy tone, after the phone rings once.
o     JF Teck Caller ID with Ring Controller blocks up to 70 numbers, and can be set to always allow up to 100 to ring through.
