Received a call to my cell. I have not set up the voicemail so no message could be left.
Got 9 such calls yesterday, 5 from another number; only 1 from this number.
It is a scam

This number called at 9:54am on Saturday. No voicemail left. Called it back and got a recording that I could barely understand. Hamid or some variation of the spelling seemed to be who the number belongs to.

A live person! "This is Cathy from "the carpet cleaning company." As a past customer, I'm just calling to see if you have any cleaning needs at this time." Since the carpets in this house have NEVER been commercially cleaned, this is a big fat lie!

I got a call too, but I was at work so I couldn't answer it. When I called them back, someone sounded as if he was from Pakistan or India.

The way the these scams work is there are companies that manage the Caller ID database. Whenever a call is placed your phone company uses one of these databases in order to display the incoming call on your phone (Caller ID). Your phone company pays these companies for the use of their caller ID database.
**********************************************************************
From the Verizon site:
Caller ID shows the name and number of incoming calls. Caller information will appear between the first and second rings on a customer-provided display device or display telephone, giving you the opportunity to screen your calls before you answer. Caller ID will also store names, numbers, dates and times of incoming calls (storage capacity varies with your display device model).
The name or number of the caller may not be displayed for every incoming call. In some cases, you will see a message on your Caller ID display unit instead of the name and number of the caller. The exact wording of the message may vary depending on the display unit you use. "Out of Area" or "Unavailable" messages may appear for calls made outside specially equipped areas, calls made through an operator, and for certain telephone numbers for which Verizon does not purchase Caller ID information. "Private" or "Anonymous" messages may appear for calls made by people who have blocked the display of their telephone information.
Caller ID works automatically; you do not have to activate or deactivate this calling feature.
**********************************************************************
Take note of the statement "certain telephone numbers for which Verizon does not purchase Caller ID information".
It's cheaper for them to pay another company than maintain the caller ID database themselves. Your phone company is billed, a fraction of a penny per access to the database, each month by these companies based on how many times they accessed the caller ID database. You pay extra each month to cover the cost for the phone company but you pay much more to the phone company then the phone company pays to the caller ID database companies.
So, the caller ID company makes millions by using telemarketing companies to auto-dial as many numbers as they can in a day. Each time the auto-dialer finds a match in the caller ID database it charges the phone company for the use of their database. The phone company makes millions by charging more for their service and consumers lose millions because we are paying the added cost.
It's a scam. This is why the Do Not Call list is useless. The phone companies have bought off the politicians to not enforce the laws. Think about it. If the NSA can track every phone call made and find a terrorist in the haystack don't you think they can track down a company that makes millions of calls a day in violation of the Do Not Call list?
As far as the free vacation or lower interest on your credit cards, if they get a sucker on the line to bite that's just a bonus. The real money is in the caller ID database fees.
I personally have a fax machine connected to my line that picks up on the 4th ring. It has reduced the number of calls I receive considerably.

My third call from "The Carpet Cleaning Company. I reported it on http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/do-not-call-list and on http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/do-not-call-list
| Beth 2013-09-10 21:32:58 Unknown |
My number is in DO NOT CALL list. Call and left no message. Too bad I could not block it from my IPhone
| Chris_NOVA 2013-09-09 19:29:38 Unknown |
Got a call today on my new cell, about 3 weeks old and only a few friends/family know my number. So I assume this is a random phone number generating robo-call as some people stated previously and not something that's probably sold to them from a 3rd party.
Call came in during work hours, 3:06pm, Monday evening. I did not answer, typically for a number I do not know. If its important, they can leave a message. They did NOT leave a message. Googled the number just incase and I'm reporting it now.
Nothing we can do about robots randomly dialing phone numbers and I highly doubt they (the company responsible) applies or enforces any do not call list/restrictions. That would require too much effort on their behalf. I do want to not that my cell number has not been added to the Do Not Call registry. Thinking I should just to prevent some of those unwanted calls.

Kathy from the carpet cleaning company has been calling our house for months and now they found my cell number. How??
| Paul 2013-09-06 13:52:58 Unknown |
Called but I did not answer and they did not leave a message. I registered my phone number on the Do Not Call Registry and I do not want calls from this number.

Carpet cleaning - auto message - um, you have never done business with me - I have hard wood floors (honestly - I do.) --- as for setting up an appointment - that's funny. Maybe I should try that - if I can get a work from home day just to mess with them.
| Paul 2013-09-04 16:53:08 Unknown |
Called on Sept 4. I did not answer the phone and they did not leave a message. I do not want phone calls from this number.

Got a call from a "carpet cleaning company". I have never used them, but in hopes of stopping the calls I made an appointment. The person who showed up was not happy when I told him that I didn't have carpet, but the calls stopped for a long time. Guess that they are up to their old tricks again.
SCAM!!

Third call today from this number. We do not answer unidentified calls. Yes, like so many here our number is also listed on the Do Not Call list... if that really means anything anymore.
