I received a cell phone call from this number.  I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer. They  did not leave a message.

I answer this call and no one is there.  They call different times of day in bpmy cell phone.  I would not think of calling back.  I don't do that.   I believe, if important, leave a message.

I started getting these calls for almost a year or more. The calling frequency has increased. One guy left a message if I did not call I will be arrested by sheriff office the idiot had left number. Called our sheriff office they said it is scam and or people phishing. I then googled these numbers. I am not privileged one they are calling. Lots of other get same type of calls I hope some how this game fades away as they get tired of this imagine old people with little education god protect them from these vultures

aint that the truth

Received a call from this#, no one answered. Who's calling?? My # is not listed.  Probably idiots who have nothing better to do.

caller ID listed this as a TX #,did not answer and no message left

Received a call from this number - but did not answer since it is not a number that I recognized.

didnt answer read that it is a scam and report it

The  DNC list is like any other Fed. Govt. operation.  Waste the taxpayers money, and accomplish nothing.

Maria,

Search the "telephone consumer protection act" (TCPA)

(This federal act can put money in your pocket for persistent callers. )

Hi have not collected any money personally, but I have stopped telephone marketers by applying the TCPA

Check Wikipedia

Good luck

Just got a call again from this number.  Did not answer.  Hate these mo-foes.

HOW DO I STOP THESE DA-- PHONES?

I no recognize you numba, I no answer phone.  Bye.

YOU ARE A TELEMARKETER, AND I DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY THAT USES TELEMARKETING AS A FORM OF ADVERTISING" (stolen from a comment on this web site -- I love it).  And do not answer name unavailable ever as calls are now starting to say that often.  Another comment from this web site says: When you press the number to have your number removed, all you do is confirm that your number is a working one.  Now I either block the numbers or I don't answer the phone at all.  Another comment was:  They sold your known active number to another scammer!!!  That is what they do when you call them back to opt out.  SO DON?T HAVE YOUR NUMBER REMOVED!

Let me explain my idea of ROBO CALLS. Each area code has 9,999,999 numbers fyi (7 digits). The program starts calling every number that it can in succession.  So they don't need to buy or obtain lists from anyone.  I am going to copy and paste and post this info for each number that calls me for this web site (9,999,98 numbers more to copy and paste to)

NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP THESE SCAMMERS AND LAZY COLLECTION AGENCIES (statute of limitations on debt:  http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/statuteLimitations.shtml)  who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one and all we can do is block them or use call forward selective..  DNC does not work when they are robo dialing all possible random numbers. The authorities can not or will not help either.

So, just block them, DON'T ANSWER UNKNOWN CALLS, and continue using this great site for information to be in control of your own home and cell phone calls.  If it turns out that you did not answer a call from someone you know (number not on this site), just call them back.  No problem.  It?s a lot of work that I do (checking the number on this web site, blocking the caller,  but at least I FEEL like I have a little control of the situation. Maybe I'm delusional.  Another smart person on this web site said to save it to your contacts as spam 1, then spam 2, etc. so you can just ignore the call.

ITS OUR LIFE AND WE NEED TO TAKE IT BACK.
One person said to call forward selective to the FCC whose number is 1-717-338-2533

The Center for Investigative Reporting joined two news organizations in an investigation of groups that use telemarketers to raise money and what they found is that most of the money is paid to telemarketers, leaving the charities with little, if anything. (3%)

Not only that but reputable charitable organizations don't solicit donations by phone.

So it's good advice to remember to just say no to anyone who solicits over the phone unless you actually know the person calling.

                                                                                       DEBT COLLECTORS
This was posted on this web site:

The Fair Debt Collection Act (FDCPA) was put into place To give people legal rights when it comes to collection agencies and collection attorneys.  If this collection agency is calling you for a debt you owe or a debt that is not yours, they could be violating your rights.

IF YOU ARE BEING CONTACTED BY ANY COLLECTION AGENCY,  get in contact with         http://www.fdcpacompliance.com/           asap so they can determine what rights these bottom feeders have violated and take action.   More and more American?s find themselves being hounded by debt collectors as a result of our country?s recent economic downturn.  The good news is that harassment is an illegal act according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).  The great news is that each infraction is PUNISHABLE UP TO $1,000.00 TO THE CONSUMER for statutory damages, and possibly more for actual damages!  The offending agency also has to pay your attorney?s fees.  The only thing that the consumer generally has to do is help to gather and provide information.

Free cruise...hung up and then blocked the number

Received a phone call from this number at 1:00 on the 30th of May.  I did not know the number so I let the machine pick it up.  They did not leave a message and when I called the number back it told me that my call could not be completed.  I called the operator and asked her to connect me to the number and she told me that there would be a charge.  I did not go through with it.  What I did go through with though is reporting this number to the proper authorities and having them deal with the nonsense.  Hopefully they will find out who it is and fix the problem so that more people are not harassed.

I haven't picked up the phone yet...  but i do get calls from out of state for temp jobs.

There calling my landline phone

They call, don't answer, and hope you call them so they are DNC compliant!

Actually you do have the right to know and where to complain. The scammers and illegal callers don't want you to know because because they do not want to get caught.  Not only can the government sue them and fine them, but so can we.  They know it, so spoof their numbers so it makes it hard to get caught.

Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

Report them here:

Just block it.

Why is it that these scammers can call us repeatedly and we don't even have the right to know who they are or how to complain to get them shut down?

Received telemarketing call from 423-743-3622 about credit card deal.  When I called the number got recording saying this number has been disconnected.

This morning I got a call that played a recorded message from 214-316-9648. It was a "survey" of some kind. I hit "1" a number of times and then they went away.

A couple of hours later I get another call from 952-653-1098 trying to give me a free cruise or some crap. I inform their supervisor that they company they are using for lead generation is doing so illegally, but he states they don't care. So I report both numbers to the FTC at 1-888-382-1222.

If calls like this make you made, get registered with the DNC and report each one that comes in. I swear to god you will start getting less calls if you do this.

Got a call from this number, no voice mail left

Just got a call to my office phone too and they didn't say anything. Then they hung up.
