I just got a call from this #..I.  I get these various damn scam calls on my landline all day. I NEVER pick up, let the machine get it...they usually hang up. I was keeping a list of the numbers, but these same companies that are:(pick one)  selling magazines, new credit, security systems, wanting/scamming your bank info, selling RX drugs, or whatever the scam of the day seems to be, have zillions of fake numbers from all over the country.
I worry that elderly people are taken in by all this crap
I DID manage to stop some of them THIS way:  Pick up your phone, dial *60.  Wait for the instructions.  If you do this directly AFTER your recieve one of these calls, the recording will let you "block the last number". Otherwise, you have to ener the specific number you want blocked.  However, it seems my phone company will only let me block 12 numbers in this way, and I've used up my 12. (LOL)
So, try this *60 idea. It doesn't always work for different companies, but it did for my landline company. You might want to Google *60 for more information.  I plan on calling my company to see if there's any other way to block more numbers.  I have a   regional phone company in Texas/Oklahoma, so I don't know if AT&T or other larger ones have this available.
The DNC list is a HUGE JOKE!!!!   Have you EVER heard of ANY company being fined by the DNC?   I haven't!  I'm leaving this message on some of the other numbers that have harrassed me, in tehopes it will help...so if you see this message on another phone number, it's really from a person, in the hopes I can help.
Good luck!

CC scam,why do they call.I am on the DNC list?

People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office and also file with:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done.

The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them nothing and they can make a million of them a day so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a short time.

If you are interested in obtaining useful tracking information on the callers, I suggest that you act very interested in the rate reduction scam, as you have multiple high interest cards with large balances. Tell them that you don?t give out card numbers in response to unsolicited calls. However, tell them that if they provide you with a verifiable number that you will then call them back and provide the info.

Since many of the operatives work on commission they will provide direct contact numbers if they believe you are serious about completing the deal. Verified return phone numbers are an excellent tool in tracking the people behind the operations.

Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.

You can also try suing them in small claims court. This site has some information on how to proceed.  http://www.killthecalls.com

Many of the disposable numbers come from Pacific Telecom Communications Group and they are currently under investigation and in the midst of various lawsuits. (The principles involved have been part of actions by the FCC under other business names).

The Oregon Public Utilities Commission has revoked Pacific Telecom's certificate to provide telecom services in Oregon.

The Indiana Attorney General?s Office filed lawsuits against:
Consumer Credit Group and Proactive Planning Solutions of Arizona for violating Indiana?s Do Not Call Law and Auto-Dialer Act known as the robo-call law. Both companies violated the Credit Service Organization Act and Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining $25,000 surety bonds with the state and collecting money upfront without performing any services.
Debt Zero of California for collecting money up front, failing to provide services or a refund and operating without a $25,000 surety bond.
Clear One Advantage of Maryland and Credit Arbitrators of Texas for violating the Credit Service Organization Act and the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining the required surety bonds.

Proof that current laws mean nothing to these scum suckers. Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant jail time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. Here are just a few:

Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved.

The criminals behind this operation do not come to this site and even if they did they would have no intention of removing someone that posts here.
I use this site to pass on information that I have gathered and hopefully it will give some insight into these criminal operations. I'm just a poor ignorant uneducated country boy from backwoods Wisconsin who has received more than 300 calls from these scum sucking criminals.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC.
These scum are making money by sending their bogus Caller ID information to your phone company. Telephone numbers are Calling Name (CNAM) provisioned and stored in a special database accessible to other telecom utilities.  This means that for any outbound call that transmits a special  code corresponding to one of their phone numbers, these criminals collect a fee for transmitting the caller ID information to the Local Exchange Carrier receiving the call.  When you see a  phone number in your caller ID (along with some name like Card Services), your phone company has to reimburse the caller for downloading that info from the database where it?s stored.
These fees are typically fractions of a cent per call however when these fees are aggregated across tens of millions of outbound calls per week, it amounts to significant money.  Huge volumes of unsolicited telemarketing calls can drive significant revenue into the pockets of these scum sucking criminals. In return your phone company charges you a fee (it may be hidden or $5 to $15 on your phone bill).  Since they only pay out a small portion of this fee you can see why your phone company allows this to continue.
Many of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.
If someone makes the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their con then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.

The problem is not the DNC.  For the most part it is doing what it is supposed to do.  Total imunity is impossible.    That's like putting  a "Do Not Rob"  sign on the front doors of Banks and expecting the Robbers to obey it.   The DNC is for the legitimate businesses,  not the Crooks. Crooks don't follow rules....I don't see many legitimate businesses being complained about on these boards...Think of the number of calls we would get if the DNC did not exist and all of the legitimate businesses began full bore telemarketing.   We'd all have to hire secretaries to answer our home phones.  I'm not trying to be offensive or a smart a--.  I'm just saying that the DNC does do some good..maybe not all that we would like but it does help some.

Read the posts LP.

I think i'm kind of questioning Miss Blue's post a little.  Sounds to me like she/he/it  may be kinda coming across as "Hey,  I'm one of you-ens"  and then the last line saying "I think I'll do what Bankrupt did and talk to a Rep."  It's kind of like Bzzzzzz said "why would you want to talk to a sleezy stranger calling from a known scammer telephone number?"  I'm Wondering what the motivation could be. Hmmmm, To encourage others to talk to a Rep?  Gosh I don't know.  I just know that hopefully most who have taken the time to read and think about the posts, comments and findings  on this board will be smart enough to not buy into any "Come Ons" Posted here.

They have hundreds of numbers with many area codes!!  I can't block them all, but block as many as I can with the Panasonic Phone!

Receive a call from the above number. Man name Tim the number shown registered as financial center. Wanted to lower my interest rate. Ask about my credit cards and rate advise could lower to 2.0% advised wanted the 16 digit number and expiration date only.  Wanted to know the about owed and cash available when little cash was available he asked for another card, only $70.00 was available to be charged on the account I refused.

Question here Miss Blue.  Why in the world would you want to talk with a Rep.?  Do you really think he will just unplug you from the call list when everyone else can't seem to get that done?  Did you know that if you ask him a revealing question he will tell you to "Shut up" or worse, and then he will hang up on you?  I'm just a little curious as to why you would find it beneficial to talk to a sleezy stranger calling from a known scammer phone number.in

You would be better served to read all of the posts here and elsewhere, concerning  this scam and making yourself more aware of what's going on.  Any contact with anyone making these calls is not in your best interest.  If your call came from the 360-529-6926  number,  it is a scam.  This scam is robo calling  knowing that there are many who have credit card problems.  They rely upon you being frightened  into using poor judgement.  Once you do that,  you can kiss about 3Gs goodby.  Do your homework.  Talk to and consult people you personally know,  in your home or local environment. Many civil attorneys will offer free counsultation.   If need be,  you would be better off initiating the call to contact your cc  company,  or a legitimate,  proven and trustworth company other than  an unknown caller who wants access to your private information.  It is never "Your last Chance"  When those words are uttered,  it is way to scare you into a fast decision without throuroughly thinking. Time to hang up.   Debt makes us do dumb things..  These scam callers just makes it easier to do.  Rep.  who's Rep.  is he?  He/She is certainly not your Rep or  friend.  He has one goal and that is to get you talking, believing,  and then  taking your money.
Talk to someone you trust.  Not unknown  Robo callers.  Heck,   On Sept 7th of 2012 (2 weeks ago)  about 5 of these  Credit card services scammers got sentenced to some prison time.  The lady who was the leader got 17 1/2 years,  her husband got 10 years,  others who abeted got 2 - 3 years each.  Many people thought these were their friends.  Many people got taken for lots of many.   That's why these people will be housed by uncle sam for a few years......Think...Think.......Think!!!!!!!!!!!!
This advise is free  and I didn't ask for your credit card numbers to implore you to THINK!!.

Keep getting these calls,the DNC list is a joke.

This one is a pain in the fanny,  The message would scare the heck out of someone who is having issues with their credit cards.  The call said it's your last change ... blah blah blah.  It's a recording so I can't ask them to not call me any more.  I think I'll do what "Bankrupt" did, and talk to a Rep.

Makes ya wanna puke doesn't it.  I hate to say it but anyone who can't see straight thru that scam should be made to go back to school and repeat grades  1 thru 3....
I remember the Third grade was the toughest 3 years of my life.

Washington State and Florida both seems to facilitate the Robo Servers with a touch to the nose and a wink wink....look the other direction sort of way.  Instead of going directly after the scammers,  the government should go after those companies providing the telecommunications services for them.  Shut a few down and the others would think twice before facilitating grand theft,  larceny and extortion.

Today's version of the "lower your card interest" robocall recording:  "We've given you several courtesy notices; this is your last time for this opportunity to lower the interest on all your cards to 6%, as long as you owe at least $3000 and have at least one card in good standing; press 1 to talk with a friendly customer services agent."
    Caller ID said: FINANCIAL CTR

Left no message. Just another scam.

Do all the scammers live in the State of Washington?  It seems so.

I just filled out a complaint at the Washington Attorney General's Office but I don't have much hope.  They apparently cannot act unless you give the name of the business, the address, the email, the phone number, etc.  Essentially, they cannot act and perhaps this is why all the scammers love living in the State of Washington.

They just called.  When I asked how they got my number they hung up.  What a bunch of garbage.  And I am no a Do Not Call List!

These people seriousley needs to get a real job,and a honest one Hang em ALL scammers

That would be fun!  However,  as tempting as that sounds Jenni,  I don't think I would  blow the horn.
People have done that in the past and next thing they knew their phone rang constantly from other victims phoning to tell them to "Take me off your call  list".   The dirt bags have been known to use your phone number as pay back and give it out as the number to call to opt out from being called again.  I read a post by one lady who did that and she said her phone started ringing about 100 times a day and finally she had to get a new number from MAW-BELL.   She said she figured it was worth the expense because she figured the telemarketers would not have her new number...NOT!!  She didn't understand the principals of Basic 101 Robo Calling.  However,  the best thing to do is just pick up the phone,  wait a couple of seconds and hang it up.  Then report it to DNC, the FTC, FCC and  Santa Claus. (Probably our best bet is with
Santa over the our Government)
Good luck to ya

Continued calls from this number re card services even though I am on the Do Not Call registry.  Despite repeated attempts to  be removed  from this list I still get these calls.  When you attempt to talk with a person they just hang up on you.

These frequent illegal calls must be stopped.!

unwanted calls continually from   1-360-529-6926

Yep just got called from here today.
I'm thinking of buying an air horn.  That way I can press 1 to talk to a person, and when they answer, just press the air horn at the receiver.  That would make them think twice about calling me again.

That number belongs to our good good friends at credit card services,  and several other names , i.e.  Financial Ctr,  who will call you 3 or 4 times a week just to see how you're doing and  if they can help you out by relieving the financial burden of high interest on your credit cards.  And while they are helping you out,  they will help themserlves to your bank account and relieve your burden of having all that extra money that they believe you don't need.
Read all the other posts here and get some insight into how these scum bags operate.
Just your basic scammers.

At 11:56 AM today 09-24-2012, we received a phone call from "NAME NOT FOUND +11 360-529-6926". We do NOT recognize the phone call.

On 09-19-12, 12:42 PM, we received a phone call from "FINANCIAL CTR 360-529-6926". I do NOT recognize this phone call.

How do I find out who is calling me? I'm on the DONOTCALL list - why am I getting calls?
