I have a couple of ways to deal with these parasites. First, I let the phone ring three full times before I pick up. I pick up and don't say anything for 2-3 seconds. If it is a computer autodialer, 80-90% of the time the computer will hang up thinking it has gotten a voice mail or answering machine. After 2-3 seconds, I say our company name, but don't give out my name. That way they don't automatically have a name if they call back and get someone else. If I still get a person and they insist, I tell them my name is "Richard Smith"(it's not). It is none of their business what my real name is, they are telescammers who are breaking the law. If they persist in calling over and over again, I tell them that my boss is available, and then I use a sports air horn right next to the phone. What are they going to do, sue me? "Your Honor, I was illegally telescamming and they deafened me!" Good luck with THAT argument. The judge might give me a medal. Reporting these "people"(I use that term loosely) to the Do Not Call Registry is futile, they are usually spoofing their phone number anyway. If you have the time, have some fun with them. See how long they will stay on hold or still be on the line if you put the phone down. Take your cordless into the bathroom and have an extended "deposit" at the Porcelain Bank, complete with very loud fake sound effects. Tell them you ARE the boss and listen to their sales pitch, never saying yes to anything, but always saying that you will look at your numbers and see what you can do. Some scammers will record any affirmative answer you give and then splice it into a call and bill you for whatever they are selling, using that as evidence of an order. Waste as much of their time as you can, because that keeps them from scamming other people, and it can be a really fun stress reliever! Anything that we can do to make this less profitable for these ticks on the butt of humanity is a plus. Feel free to pass this on or add to it with your fun ways of taking back your phone lines. If these idiots would get a real job, the world would be a better place for all of us.

Dude, that is f****ng hilarious!!!! Good job! I got a missed called from them twice.

No message, just notice on my cell phone that I had missed the call.  I am on the no call list for my cell phone

Got a call from this number on 10/12/13 at 1:07PM, let it go to voicemail.

Enough is enough, not only land line but now cell too. Idiots

Recieved 2 calls this morning, one at 10:30 and another at 10:40.   Couldn't give a name of a person they were calling for, and just kept trying to talk me into giving them a CC#.   I've reported it to the NYS Att Gen.

Recieved two calls from this number this morning.  Did not answer, but tried to return the call later to identify the caller.  Message said caller had not set up a voice mail box yet.

this of course is either a scam or debt collector. I never answer my phone with out of state area code!!!!

no message left, unsolicited call

I signed them up for a s***-ton of junk mail, and requested info from about half a dozen online colleges.

They just called...I answered and they immediately hung up. All my phone showed was it was from NY. I found this page when I googled the number.

received the call at 7AM on monday Oct 14th... did not answer as I recognized the area code (NY) but was not expecting a call from that area code

Oct. 14, 2013 at 9:49 am. -don't usually pick up but did this time before checking.   Caller I'd shows 212-799-0263 with the name Casiano S but it was HEATHER 's recorded message saying this was the final notice- "if only"

Googled this number and found this:

"60 Lincoln Center Plaza, Lincoln Center NY---Information 212-799-0263" in the NY Yellow Pages

Thanks for the posts.. Just got a call from the 212-799-0263. I did not anwer it and will make sure to block the call .

received a call from this number while at church services.  glad I had the phone on vibrate, since I do not talk to scam artist.  tried to call back since we have friends in NY and got the stupid message that the voice mail had not been set up.  too bad that they know how to call but can't set up a voice mail, what is the point of having it if you can't use it.  the only credit card we have is with Women of Faith and they do not charge interest or finance charges in the five years we have had the card.  Apparently they can't beat FAITH!!!!
Also apparently they do not know how to leave a message!

212-799-0263,  Is people never give up trying to steal information

Scammer

Automated message on lowering CrCard interest, press 1 to talk w/rep, press 2 to disconnect.
So I press 1, t/w rep, asked who they were calling, said they were calling credit card holder. I asked what name they were calling, responded primary credit card holder. I asked who? He replied "Do you have a credit card?" I asked who are you calling? He replied "John Muller." I advised wrong person, please take number off of list. Caller ID displayed Casiano Sherily, which is tricky trick.

1:06 pm got a call from this number. when answered, I only heard a beep. called the number back and got recorded message that the mail box had not been set up. good-bye. will not answer again!

Got a call earlier today  from this number, they  left no message.  When I called back I got a recording saying this person has not set up there voice mailbox.

Let this call go to VM but they didn't leave a message.

At 12pm, a call from this number showed up on my caller ID on my cell.  I did not answer as I didn't recognize the number.  I have both my landline & cell numbers registered with the DNC database.  I decided to look up the number on my cell, online & the information was here.  Really glad I didn't answer.
