keeps calling asking for boss then hangs up. i call back number and it says not in service

Caller id says "DIRECT ACCESS"
Caller identified herself as Violet calling on behalf of Lendio (I had her spell that), saying its not a sales call, but they have lenders who want to offer loans.
When I said not interested she abruptly hung up.

Caller said he was from 'Lendview' and wanted to speak with the owner of the company. Wouldn't leave a message.

Called ID says 'DIRECT ACCESS'

Told me that based on information they have received, they have a number of lenders who would like to offer us loans.  I said we're not interested and the caller hung up.

I usually answer in Spanish And also talk to them in Spanish they don't understand me at all and usually never call back again..

Not sure of the exact name of the company behind 360-529-6915. But I have figured out that #1. they are spoofing their phone # (which is generally illegal IF the spoofer is concealing their # to commit fraud), #2. they do not leave voicemail on our agency line, #3. call the # back that's on caller id & you'll get a recording saying it's a disconnected # through Pacific Telecommunications, and #4 after talking with others in my field who've actually strung the caller out by listening to their pitch for a few minutes, this telemarketing outfit basically involves people working from home (which explains why you may hear kids, pets, TV noise in the background). If you're bored and/or want to hammer this outfit & possibly figure out the company behind the calls, put a recorder on your phone & play along. Ask some basic leading questions about the service. Don't be accusatory or harsh with them as I've found one can catch more flies with honey. Sound impressed and go along with them. Gently work in that you need a couple days to consider their offer & tell the monkey you'd really like to deal only with them because he/she "sounds like a nice honest person" and try for a callback #, email or web site info. Once you've got that info, turn it over to the Attorney General or Consumer Affairs office for your state, the State of Washington, and whatever state you can determine the call monkey to be based in. Also kick it over to the Federal Trade Commission. Just for chits & giggles, I'm putting together a dedicated site for telemarketers & those debt collectors that insist they're calling the right # after we've explained they have incorrect or outdated information. Those recording will be up for the entertainment & education of all who hate junk calls.

I received call on cell, but I didn't recognize so I didn't answer.  If I don't know the number I don't answer.  Get lots of calls that when I "google" they are same type of crap.  Whatever happened to "DO NOT CALL" system?

called personal cell number and asked for "The Business Owner" (there isn't one). refused to say what company they represent, hung up when i asked.

I reported them to the WA Attorney General and received the following reply:

RE:   Pacific Telecom Communications Group

File #:   419183

Dear Summer:

Our office has received your complaint regarding the phone calls you have been receiving. We understand how annoying and frustrating it is to receive unwanted telephone calls.

Unfortunately, unscrupulous telemarketers use a variety of methods to conceal their true identity and location in order to avoid detection. Sometimes, telemarketers obtain telephone numbers that are assigned to certain area codes and assign those numbers to telephone equipment that is not located in that area code. Another method telemarketers use to avoid detection is ?caller I.D. spoofing,? which means a telemarketer uses a false caller-identification number so that the phone number appearing on your caller I.D. is not the actual phone number of the telephone equipment placing the call.

We have determined that the telephone number you reported as the source of the calls is owned by Pacific Telecom Communications Group, which is located in Los Angeles, California. Pacific Telecom provides telephone numbers, many of which have 206 area codes, to subscribers. However, many of the subscribers who obtain the 206 telephone numbers from Pacific Telecom are not located in Washington state and could be located anywhere. Under these circumstances, there is very little this office can do to locate the physical presence of the party who is making the calls. However, you should report these calls to the Federal Trade Commission by filing a complaint online at: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.

If you would like to learn more about caller I.D. spoofing, you can find additional information on the Federal Communication Commission?s website: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing.

Thank you for contacting our office. Your correspondence will become a part of the public record.

So, you should contact the FCC rather than your state AG, unless you're in CA! :)

I just got a phone call from that nr. She told me that they are helping small bussines to grow. I told her to email me the information. I felt uncomfortable when she started asking all kind of questions, and told her that I never give any information over the phone to someone I don't know.I hung up

This number calls work all the time.  I answer and there is nothing on the other end.  I hear nothing and noone speaks.  I just hang up.  But it's getting annoying.

She just called me too and pretended not to hear me when I said no, my husband who she asked for is not here, can I help you.  Then she hung up.

Here is what I got from another website.  

This telephone number belongs to Pacific Telecom Communications Group.  They are a public utility who's business involves facilitating illegal telemarketing calls in violation of 16 C.F.R. §310.3(b) of the Federal Telemarketing Sales Rule.

I am getting multiple unwanted calls from this number.

THEY SPAM CALL AND HANG UP

A woman calls and forces a script on me not listening to my questioning who she claims she was referred to my business by.  I tell her I'm not interested and not to call me again.  What does she do?  She calls within the next 3 hours and forces the script on me again.

caller said they are setting up contacts for business loans

Caller could be heard sitting and shuffling with a TV playing in the background. Message went on for 1:35 then hung up without a word.

Caller asked to speak to the owner.  Caller said she was from Lendview.  Would not leave a message.  Caller hung up.

They called and called.  SPAM CALLER!  Telemarketer and I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST!  They only call my CELL PHONE NUMBER.

Just received a call from this number, caller ID shows "USS". We get calls with this ID a lot, so I don't pick up anymore. The call rang through until voicemail kicked in, no message.
