OMG--I just went through all my missed calls (I don't answer numbers I don't recognize or have an ID). I looked up 9 different numbers on this website: all the same scammers (low life scum--"scummers?!")

Someone on another thread recommended this: put the numbers in your contact info under your favorite term: "scam," "scummers," or any other appropriate epithet you can come up with. My phone will accept 5 numbers for home, business, mobile one or two, and fax. I put in 5 of these numbers under one epithet and set the ring tone for "no ring tone" and since the dumb a$$e$ never leave a message you might not have to deal with the interruptions.  I am trying this and will post an update later under one of these threads.  Here are the numbers I've looked up on this site. I am sure there are probably more, though.

I got a call on the 12th of this month.  I do not even have credit cards.  I try to not answer but when I recognize the area code I am concerned it could be someone I know.

They are harrassing me as well with multiple calls from multiple numbers across the country saying I can reduce my interest rate to as low as 6 %. Asked them to remove my number and was hung up on. Tried calling back and got a number not in service I am calling the BBB.

I picked up to quiet my phone....It starts with "Please do not hang up!"   I stayed on to ask for the no call list so when she came on the line I asked to be placed on the NClist ...she mumbled a response and I asked "Excuse me"   Her response was "WHAT"S WRONG WITH YOU"  Then I was hot as I tried to explain to the now dead line how I was busy working and not interested in her useless iritating phone calls...

She is getting call from this # as if she has a credit card wanting to reduce her rate and she has no credit card so when she asks for a supervisor, they hang up on her.

I never give out my cell #. If I don't recognize the # I don't answer it. This one was clearly fishing for prospects...I find that if I don't answer they give up after a few days and assume it's a non-working # (most are auto-calls that will set some limit of # of tries w/out an answer before they move on). I have since registered my cell on the National Do Not Call Registry, so now if they continue I will report them.

I just talk to these scammers whenever I have time.  I'll let them wait while 'I find the card'. I give them the wrong card number...change the last 5 or so digets along with wrong 4 of SS and wrong zip.  Try to keep them on the line as long as possible.  I'll 'correct' the numbers when they cannot get them to work.

Waste as much of their time as possible.

Just spent 18+ minutes with 'Jason Thompson...Rep # 1033'

what i do is block the number but the problem is that you can only block so many numbers( with my provider i am allowed up to 5) or i save the numbers on my contact list and name them and i set them for no ring tone.

Consumers are getting more robocalls than ever.  Technology is the reason.  Companies are using autodialers that can send out thousands of phone calls every minute for an incredibly low cost.

Using its enforcement authority, the FTC has stopped companies responsible for billions of illegal robocalls that have offered fraudulent credit card services, so called auto warranty protection plans, medical discount cards, and grant procurement programs.

We're continuing aggressive law enforcement efforts, pursuing innovative strategies to gather evidence against robocall kingpins, producing consumer education, working with industry and other experts, and offering a prize to innovators that can creat a technical solution.

These "robocalls" are illegal even if your phone number is not on the National Do Not Call Registry!

Tips:

1.  HANG UP THE PHONE!  Don't press 1 (or any button) to speak to a live operator and don't press any other number to get your number off the list.  If you respond by pressing any number, it will probably just lead to more robocalls. (you have just proven to them your phone is legitimate)

2.  Consider contacting your phone provider and asking them to block the number, and whether they charge for that service.  Remember that telemarketers change Caller ID information easily and often, so it might not be worth paying a fee to block a number that will change.

3.  Report your experience to the FTC online or by calling 1-888-382-1222.

Great idea. My Android phone doesn't have a block number option but can "direct to voice mail" option with any contact, and I will use it. I received a call from that same number and I didn't answer it for two reasons: it was an unknown number to me and I don't answer any call at all while I'm having lunch or dinner since this is a time to share with myself and people I'm dinning with. I think that any call can wait some minutes more, since I'm not a doctor, firefighter or an emergency number.

310-599-5774.   Just called at 10:25am on the 5th of March....I saw the number and didn't recognize it, so I figured if it was important, they would leave a message. Then I decided to just turn the phone OFF while it was still ringing.  :).  Leaves a nice little message for THEM like; this phone is not working or is no longer in service...... How about that for turning the tables on them....now I always check the phone number ONLINE FIRST BEFORE I  RETURN CALLS....hope this helps.   :).

I feel its the phone co. responsibility to fix this. Verizon offers 5 numbers blocked free. These people have endless numbers so there is no point to verizons solution. I am paying a premium price for this service, and if I have no way to block these #s then they are providing sub standard service. Its their service being corrupted by these scammers, so its up to them to fix their problem. Everytime I get a call, time permitting, I am calling verizon to complain. Lets all see how our carriers like being harassed by us!!!!

If calls like this arrive on your cellphone, create a contact called "#Spam01" and assign this number to it.  Set it for no ringtone.  I have about 70 numbers assigned this way going all the way up to "#Spam14."
Unfortunately my carrier charges to block more than 10 numbers at a time.

Received a call from 310-599-5774 on 03/05/2013 @ 10:28 am CST. Being how I did not recognize this number factored with the fact I have NO connection to California, I did not answer. Caller did not leave a voice message. I attempted to return this call and an outgoing message states it is not a working number. I AM on the Do Not Call list. Being unable to return this call verifies why I do not answer calls generated from unusual areas I have no association with.

Because I use my personal phone for business too, I just answered with my business name and they hung up. Maybe they don't want to waste their time if they think I'm only the receptionist for a business so I'm hoping that means they won't call back.

If you don't recognize the number you are better off not answering they will stop calling if you don't answer. If the call is important they will leave a message.I always look a unknown number up. I am glad I did. I don't own a credit card so I know I am not in debt.

I get calls from this number occasionally, as well as other sales pitches and collections calls.  Of course, it's illegal in the USA for businesses to cold-call you on your cellular phone (unless they already have a business relationship with you)... but some of them do it anyway.

I don't have a land-line phone, only a mobile phone.  The number of people who rely solely on their mobile phone is growing, and Android phones have the largest share of the smartphone market... so I think the following information will be helpful to many.

I always screen my calls, and when I get a call from a number I don't recognize, I let it go to voice mail.  However, I still get annoyed by the ringing of the phone.  When an un-recognized number actually leaves a voice mail, I'll listen to the message to see if it's someone I really need to talk to (like a company with whom I already do business, or my kid's school or something like that).

I recently discovered a neat feature on my Android phone.  I imagine this feature exists on most Android phones, so you should check it out.  I created two new contacts in my phone named "Sales Pitch" and "Bill Collector", and set the "Block caller" option to "On".

Now, when I get a call from a number I don't recognize, I go through the usual thing and listen to the voice message.  If they leave a message that is obviously from a bill collector or sales pitch, I add that number to my "Bill Collector" or "Sales Pitch" contacts.... and voila!  No more annoying calls from that number!

If they don't leave a message (or the message is just a hang-up), I search for the number online to see who they are.  Sites like this one are extremely helpful.  I also try to call them back to see who they are.  In the case of this particular number, I got a message that it's not a valid number.  This is a common message to receive when the caller is using an automatic dialer system.  Those numbers are often "outbound only" numbers (I know this because I have installed automated dialing systems for bill collectors in the past).

Now, the feature in my Android phone isn't perfect.  When they call again, my phone doesn't ring, but they can still leave a voice message.  However, my voice mail shows that the call was from "Bill Collector" or "Sales Pitch", so I can delete it without even listening to it!

Obviously, some collection agencies and telemarketers use multiple outbound numbers.  It's not unusual for a company to have 24, 48, 72, 96 or more outbound lines (there are 24 DS0's in a T1 circuit).  However, many automated dialing systems have the ability to "spoof" a number.  That means that the person who configures the automated dialer can choose the phone number that they want you to see on your caller ID.  The fact is that most (reputable) companies choose one number for you to see on your Caller ID, and that number is usually the phone number they use for in-bound calls.

If the caller calls from multiple numbers, you can enter each new number into a contact in your Android phone, and set that contact to block the call.  If you run out of room for numbers in a single contact entry in your phone's contact list (phone book), you can simply add more contacts, like "Sales Pitch 2", "Sales Pitch 3", etc.

So, while this idea isn't perfect, it has allowed me to reduce the number of "junk" phone calls that I get from several per day to one every week or two.  I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and I've already reduced the number of times my phone rings for unwanted calls by a huge percentage.

I used to leave my ringer turned off because of all the unwanted calls, and it caused me to occasionally miss important calls.  Now, I leave my ringer turned on and I don't miss those important calls.  At the same time, I rarely get those bothersome sales pitches and bill collectors anymore!  It's a win-win.

I started getting calls from them 7 days ago and I never pick up. They call me 5 times a day at any hour. When I called back it's a message saying promotions. There was also similar message from another massachusettes number when I called back. This is annoying me!!!!
