Terribly rude representatives calling to try to make you company "be number #1 un google for ridiculous price" scammers press 9 so they wont called again

This is a telemarketer, or otherwise unwelcome caller.

Picked up, there was no one on the other end.  I decided to call back, the recording let me know that I was approved for a business loan and to clearly state how much I needed; then it went to their voicemail so I could tell them.  These phone calls are so stupid and annnoying.  Doesn't even matter that I'm on the do not call registry.  

Wouldn't that be annoying if your phone never stopped ringing after you answered it?

why do they bother?

Message says they are a company that "specializes" in loans to small business's. Matter of fact, they have PLENTY of money to lend, since Banks aren't lending. And you know what? I just bet they would even deliver Vanna White to you in a limousine and have her give you the check over a candlelight dinner. I think i trust this outfit about as much as i trusted my ex with a bottle of arsenic and a loaded gun while living next door to an attractive hit man

The message was: "You have not approved your Google listing.  Press 1 to approve your listing"  Called back and got the "loan approval" think mentioned above

Called me at 3:58 PM, caller ID said California. Didn't answer, they didn't leave a message.

Check your bank accounts. I had my credit card information stolen and used 4 days after this call happened.

I have a cell phone that now has the auto ignore for these  idiots so let them call all they want

"Would you like to block this caller"

Yes.

Problem solved.

They called me a little while ago? I didn't answer and the didn't leave a message.

Same thing as all the others, dead air when I answered, then hung up

This is a company trying to get you to do a loan for your business.  I don't have a business any longer-so not sure why they keep calling.

I called it again its a buisness loan company robot call

Let it ring and they left no answer

they let it go to voice mail and hung up. i dont know any one in la!

picked up, heard a beep from the other end and some static. then they hung up.

Just received a call - tried to answer but no one was there.  

yea they just woke me up! ahh no message of course

No one on the other end of the line. Kinda smells like Canadian(or India) Pharmacy

They said nothing and hung up.

Stopped ringing when I picked up

When I Started to pick up It stopped ringing.

Caller ID said Los Angeles, CA.  I didn't answer.  They hung up and left no voicemail.

I have a couple of ways to deal with these parasites. First, I let the phone ring three full times before I pick up. I pick up and don't say anything for 2-3 seconds. If it is a computer autodialer, 80-90% of the time the computer will hang up thinking it has gotten a voice mail or answering machine. After 2-3 seconds, I say our company name, but don't give out my name. That way they don't automatically have a name if they call back and get someone else. If I still get a person and they insist, I tell them my name is "Richard Smith"(it's not). It is none of their business what my real name is, they are telescammers who are breaking the law. If they persist in calling over and over again, I tell them that my boss is available, and then I use a sports air horn right next to the phone. What are they going to do, sue me? "Your Honor, I was illegally telescamming and they deafened me!" Good luck with THAT argument. The judge might give me a medal. Reporting these "people"(I use that term loosely) to the Do Not Call Registry is futile, they are usually spoofing their phone number anyway. If you have the time, have some fun with them. See how long they will stay on hold or still be on the line if you put the phone down. Take your cordless into the bathroom and have an extended "deposit" at the Porcelain Bank, complete with very loud fake sound effects. Tell them you ARE the boss and listen to their sales pitch, never saying yes to anything, but always saying that you will look at your numbers and see what you can do. Some scammers will record any affirmative answer you give and then splice it into a call and bill you for whatever they are selling, using that as evidence of an order. Waste as much of their time as you can, because that keeps them from scamming other people, and it can be a really fun stress reliever! Anything that we can do to make this less profitable for these ticks on the butt of humanity is a plus. Feel free to pass this on or add to it with your fun ways of taking back your phone lines. If these idiots would get a real job, the world would be a better place for all of us.

This call hung up when I answered.

I picked up and no answer then they hung up.

I answered, but it seemed no one was there.
