I received a call at 11:41 this morning from an automated voice telling me not to hang up and to listen to how they have helped people make thousands of dollars.  I pressed 9 to be put on the "Do Not Call" list and the call was disconnected.

I searched the number listed above that someone said was a redirect number to "Rob"  This is interesting (http://www.everycall.us/phone-number/1-586-623-5523/).  Here's what is said:

Oi, I'm with you, mate!  I was mid-w**k with me tally whacker in hand, watchin' me dad's new wife undress through the peep hole when some bloke rings up the telly and interrupts us both.  I mean, here she is, beautiful young lass that she is, honkers unleashed, knickers half way down her creamy thighs, yours truly in the throes of some of the ol' self-induced hands-on passion, and some daft blighter calls about some new get rich swindle or something.  Bloody hell!  I barely had time to pull up me pants before she burst into the sitting room in her robe to see who was on the blower!  The bloody nerve of some folks.

I was in the middle of a heated argument with a coworker this morning when my phone rang (much to my chagrin, as I was winning!) from some recorded spammer/telemarketer; I hung up before I even heard what it was all about, but too late. The steam was taken out of the argument and now I will never be able to convince my coworker that Doctor Who is the greatest television show ever made in the history of the universe. :(

Bothered by a call from this # at 9:14 this morning. I am on the Do Not Call list. After reading other complaints about this #, he needs to be stopped.

I get calls from this annoying man all the time. I'm also on the DNC list. Playing his game of calling him back and leaving him messages is not my thing nor do I have time for this crap! There has to be a legal way to get them to stop.

Calls often and doesn't leave a message. MI #

Recorded telemarketing message from Robert. I'm on the DNC Registry List with regards to telemarketing, in Canada.

It's been quiet until American telemarketers starting calling up north. I've blocked 12 #'s from the states in the past year.

This is a VOIP phone number.

Have received numerous calls from this number, all spam about some "get rich quick" scheme

I understand that it's frustrating to receive these annoying messages and missed calls but I simply saved the numbers and I called Verizon and they block the numbers for me. It has cut down on a lot of my calls and messages I don't need to listen to. (even if it does require keeping track of the numbers and calling the carrier)

Received several calls from this number in the last few weeks sometimes they leave a voicemail and sometimes they don't.  It seems to be a telemarketing scam or something about making money,  I never listen to the whole message or recording when I actually pick up the phone.  If this continues I will try what others have done and continually call this person to insist they stop calling me.  I figure I will just match him call for call.

I have recieved too many calls from this number. I am on do not call list. I answered the call one time a week or so ago and it was a recording. I hung up on that call and havent answered since.

Just called me too, but didn't leave a message. I sell a legitimate product and it seems like every time I place a new CL ad, these calls start. Why do these a***oles think that just because they can scrape my number from Craigslist that I would be interested in their crap?

I have received numerous calls from this number but he never leaves a message.  I never answer the phone if I don't recognize the number so I guess he is just wasting his time.

I keep getting this number calling both my house phone number and my cell phone number! I never answered because I don't know who it is. After reading all these comments, I do know who it is so I will not answer for sure.

received a call and it was a recorded message about making money with voicemail.

Thanks Jay,


I called the number that keeps spamming me and I dialed "0" like you suggested.  Got through to his voicemail.  I told him I do not want any further calls, I consider this spam and I do not want to be called again.  If he continues, I will fill up his voicemail with belches and other assorted sounds he won't enjoy.  My excuse then?  "Well, I'm interested in your scam 'Rob,' but I'm just a very gassy person and things happen when I get excited from such a money-making opportunity you present!  The belches just flow like money into your bank!  Sorry!  But, as you can see, I am persistent Rob, I will keep calling to to make sure you understand my level of interest in your scam!  Just hope I can get past these belches!"

That's the next step.

Got a call from this number today and its from Pontiac also.  I am wondering why we have a do not call list since I'm on it and its my cellphone.  There was no one on the other end when I answered.

Answered the phone and whoever made the call hung up

Call from Pontiac, MI.  No message.  I expect it's as others have said for the same number.  It's been 2 years, and they're still at it.

Got a call this morning from 248-630-4335 while I was commuting to work. Didn't pick up since I didn't recognize the #. No message was left. Googled it when I got to work and found out it's another telemarketer. I've had my cell # for over 20 years and have been careful about revealing it, but for the last few months I've been getting about 3 calls a week from these people. Do Not Call lists don't appear to matter. The only people I can figure who might have sold my number is the folks who also sold me my home loan. Learn from my mistake...when they are running you through the required reams of paperwork, make you sure you stay on top of things, even though you're worn out by the process. Check off the boxes where you are telling them not to reveal *any* info about you, otherwise they figure they have the right to sell it. They make more $ off you than just from loans.

I got this phone message to make tons of money from using my phone line.  It said it's not a solicitation, etc., which probably means they think they can bypass the rules of do not call lists.  Such a scam.  I called the number and only got a recording, no company name.  Didn't want to waste 15 minutes listening to what they said so I hung up.  This is so wrong. These kind of phone calls need to be stopped or what's the point of "do not call" lists? The call type was to make lots of money with no obligation to me.

I got this phone message yesterday.  I called it back but got a recording so hung up.  I am also on the do not call list.  This is such a scam.  The message said this is not a solicitation, etc.....  When they can't be tracked, they don't care.  I have also gotten phone messages from Credit Card Services.  One time I was home and answered the phone.  Before I could finish my sentence "I am on the no call list, quit calling" they hung up.  Obvious scam.  They left no phone number so I can't report it.  Didn't find one on the internet either.

i am not interested in this crap.. I have gotten this call a couple of times..

Jesus!  This guy won't stop!  I have had multiple calls, even though my number is on the do not call registry!

Guess this guy Rob can't make a legitimate living, and has to scam people over the phone.  What a loser!

Collectively, we can stop this.

We're all getting calls from this guy, "Rob," and others, who are trying to promote their business, or just scam us, whatever.  They rely on some tiny percentage that will "go for the bait."

This guy, "Rob," admits he doesn't care if a number is on the Do Not Call Registry!!!

I just talked with Rob. (It was easy, read on.) I explained that he called my number despite the fact that it is listed with the federal Do Not Call registry.  He said he gets his numbers from internet sources, and my number must be a business number.  We talked about this for a while, and it turns out, Rob could not care less if your number is on the Do Not Call registry.  His "excuse" is, well, that number was found on the internet, and is (or was) associated with a business.  If you've had your telephone number for just a few years, perhaps it was associated with a business- at one time.  So he (and others) may call.  And the federal DO NOT CALL registry?  According to Rob, it doesn't apply, if your number was found on the internet.

So.... since Rob won't abide by the Do Not Call registry, let's hound him a bit, and make him question his practices.

Here's how I actually spoke with "Rob."  I simply called the number that was showing on my caller ID:

1 248 630-4335.  During the recording, I pressed 0.  That took me to "Rob's" voice mail box, where I left a very polite message, asking that someone please call back, and left my number.  Within a couple of minutes, Rob called.  He was polite, at first, but then became agitated when I explained that the Do Not Call registry DOES APPLY to numbers that are not associated with a business.  (He dismisses that fact.)

By the way, the number listed when Rob called back was 586 623-5523.  This appears to go to the same voice mail box as pressing 0 from the caller ID number. I suggest we call this number and leave polite messages asking for a return call.  When Rob calls back, express your frustration.

Got a call from 248-630-4335 , a Michigan number, on my cell phone and did not answer. Rob left a message about making money using voicemail (or something like that). He stated to call him back at the same number for more information.

What is the number for the National No Call Cell Phone List? This guy is wasting my minutes.
