We started receiving calls from that number yesterday.  I told the guy this morning that we're not interested and he yelled at me and then hung up on me.  I've blocked the number through my phone provider so hopefully I won't hear from them anymore.

These people keep calling,I started to call them back.Every time they would call I called three times. I have told them to put me on the no call list.The reply is ok we will sorry for the call or our computers are down so we can not view the no call list, ya right. I found that calling them back every time they call makes me feel better. Sometimes I just leave the line open and listen to them in the background.Try it sometime you do feel better.Anyway I really do not know how to stop them from caling.

called 2 times I called back and advised if called again would press charges.

They called me 9 times on april 27. What do these people want, and where are they located? does anyone have a physical address?

this number says they are a government grant program and want my credit card number to send me a "free cd" i told them no 3 times over the last week and they just call more and more so today i flat out said stop calling me and leave me alone at 830pm its 910pm now and they have called 13 times since 830 i am sick of it they need to be reported it is a fraud running free!

I don't like these people cause they just don't stop calling me. They called me 10 times today. I just can't believe that they keep calling me. It's time for action. I think I'm going to put my number on a "don't call" list.

My sister answered the phone and when she asked if she could take a message she hung up on her and she called them back and told her that she hung up on her and what the name of the company was she mumbled something and said she was sorry and hung up on her again.  I bet these people are a scam.   Where can we report them?

Have told 213-232-0852 five times not to call me. Thay still call.

These people claim there from some kind of grant company or something.  They call my house at least 10 times a day, minimum.  Everytime I answer the phone there's a dial tone.  So I called the number back and got someone different four times.  All four people were so rude and hung up on me.  HORRIBLE!!!

I received around 20 calls yesterday. No one comes on the phone.
I called back and told them not to call my phone again. They
called the same number of times. I am calling the attorney generals
office in california, because this is crazy

Call keeps coming through "unavailable" and no one responds to greeting "hello".  This is a repeat telephone call.  I'd like for it to stop.

This oplace keeps calling. I told hem to stop or Id report them and they still call.

I have received 6 calls in 4 and a half hours and with all the calls they hung up when I answered.  I called the number back and asked to be taken off their call list 3 times, and was hung up on.  More calls came in even after I asked to have the calls stop.  They say I signed up for info on applying for government grants!  I am a college student and already have gone through the government grant process so why would I have asked for more information?  I'm hitting dead ends with every search that I try to figure out who they are and how to stop them.  I'm tempted to go to my attorney at this point, and this is just day one.  From my understanding they continue to call for at least 2 weeks.  This is the second site I've been on with complaints about them.  It's harassment and it has to stop for everyone.

Just recieved 15 consecutive calls from this number. Didn't asnwer. Still calling.  This caller is a nusance! Just answered call #18 from this number, and got no response.   Just put them on my reject call list.

claims to be a company called grant central, claiming that we contacted them on the internet, which we did not but that is thier excuse for violating the DNR.  however the moment you tell them to remove you from their call list the hang up....and call back a few minutes later. even after I've reminded them that I can sue for $500 per violation they still call, they are averaging $1500 a day in violations on my number alone, today was $2500.  they even call after 9:00 p.m. making 2 violations at once.  I'm filling a complaint for each call with the DNR and my laywer is waiting for me to get a printed phone bill.  it is fun to ask for the callers first and last name, you can hear the manager come running in the background as they squirm because they know they are required by federal law to identify themselfs.

These people have been calling us multiple times a day for the past two days.  Both days they often hung up before we could even answer the phone.  If we don't answer they don't leave a message.  When we have answered there often is silence. I don't understand how they can sell anything when they don't say anything and don't leave a message.  This is NOT a legitimate grant program. Legitimate businesses do NOT tolerate this behavior! We filed a complaint with the FTC Do Not Call list. Please complain!  That is the only way that any legal action will be taken against these fools! One of the few times that we were able to speak to a real person, we told them to stop calling and they literally called back two minutes later!  Today we received a call from a toll free number: 877-613-7374. I googled it and found similar information about this being from some kind of grant program.  I think these are the same morons with the 213 area code. I just finished filing a complaint for this number as well.

I just want to add the comment that grant information is FREE. Anyone telling you to pay for a "grant kit" is a scam artist.  All govt grants for school are based on information from FAFSA and you HAVE to go through them first.  IT IS FREE!

I google earth these perps, then called their #, then proceeded to describe their neighborhood as if I were from the area. Needless to say, they hung up after trying to deny that they were'nt located at that address (1201 E 57th St LA, Cali). I do believe it work, they stopped calling me. Now, I must ask, "if we as civilians can expose these frauds w/limited resources such as reverse lookup and google earth (thanks to the web), why can't our "Law Enforcement" folks track these people down? (I guess Law Enforcement Folks are too busy running road guard for Holloywoods Elite or chasing Country Boys, growing Hippie Lettuce, through the woods)

I kept getting calls from this number too.  Every time I tried to answer there was no one there.  After looking the number up on the internet and seeing all these complaints, I decided to call the number.  The lady who answered was nice but I was NOT.  She claimed they were a gov. grant agency.  I had looked up some grants online BUT NEVER gave anyone my phone number. Angrily, I told her to take my number off their list.  She was polite and said OK.  She spoke with an accent to I didn't get her reason as to why no one ever answers back on their end of the line.  I was to mad to have her repeat it.  My suggestion to anyone getting calls from this number is to call them back and tell them to take your number off their list.  Haha, as I am writing this, they just called AGAIN.  Good luck!

They call themselves 'Grant Center" They clam to be able to get you grant money. True or False ... Who knows. They claim to be using an internet dialing system. They have no regard for the time of day or night they call. Very poor business practice.

This number has called me TWELVE times today!!!
I havent answered it because within the last few days I have been getting a ton of sales calls.  I have not added my name to anything recently or bought anything where I would have given them my name or number.
I am also on the DO NOT CALL LIST!!

THIS NMUMBER HAS CALLED ME 15 TIMES IN TWO DAYS , IT NEEDS TO STOP. AND IF IT IS NOT SOMETHING SHABBY THAN WHY WITHHOLD NAME?????????????

I receive calls on my land line and cell phone several times per day. Today I tried to do the reverse call thing and got nowhere, except it was from CA. Then, as I was looking around, I see an advertisement for the weight loss products(Just like Rachel Ray, they say)I'm sure Rachael Ray would love the fact that they are using there name and invite me to listen to hear one of their sucess stories. The story was about a person(Tina Peterson) who lives in my town and her trememndous sucess. Bonnieville, KY , where I live,  has  about 300 people living here. I have been living here 36 years and I would have at least heard of her. She urged me to buy $10.00 worth of free samples. A few days ago, a similiar ad about a teeth whitening aid was written up in the exact same way!!! Fictious person who lived here in Bonnieville sharing her wonderful sucess with the world. I could get the two products free if I covered the cost of shipping and handling, then each month my credit card would be charged 79.95 to continue to enjoy my gleaming teeth!I didn't take advantage of either offer as I knew immediately that it was false advertising.
I personally would like to get rid of all the scams on the internet and telemarketers that I could.

Got a call from a 213-232-0852 number.  Claiming to a grant information provider.  Tried to get my credit card info over the phone, I just responded,"Sure, let me go get my card" and hung up.

I am on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY, and this number keeps calling me.  Therefore, I  have reported this nuisance.

this is a company that claims i applied for gov. grants which i never have and cals me constantly throughout the day every day. I've asked them several times to stop calling but they still continue to call

this call came to me about a government loan. she said her name was anna garcia from ny.ny. 30510 broadway. she had some of my information (personal). i just did a search on this # and its out of california. she is mexican and i firmly believe that its some sort of scam due to the fact she lied to me about where she was calling from. I'd definatly avoid this # if it comes up on your phone.

i was getting calls all day long i told them i was on the do not call list-they stopped calling
