I've been getting calls from this number also. I answered today and they were quick to connect me with a representative when I pressed 1 to set up an appointment. I went off on the rep. and told them I would even call the police if they don't stop calling. They said the police wouldn't do anything to them so I told them I would still then go and make a complaint against them. We argued back and forth and they laughed and said comments about my house smelling and then hung up....Really Mature!.  I'm tired of these people harrassing good people. They need to get a real job. It's very difficult to regulate these people because what they do is buy a whole bunch of prepaid phones with a whole lotta minutes on them and after they do their stupid harrassing they throw away their phones so they can't be traced. Something needs to be done. This is ridiculous!

I am reporting unwanted calls from an unknown caller on telephone no, 386-847-7408.
This caller from this number is calling everyday.

The caller from this tel. number is calling everyday.

They called me and it was a recording for energy effecient survey. They wouldn't get off the line and it was a real nusiance. I've been getting calls for the last 2 weeks for various no's with the same request. I want to report this and don't know where to go with it

I'm so sick of these recordings! They act so "familiar" as if one of my friends referred them to me.  When you call back the number you cannot leave a message.  I just want them to STOP CALLING ME!!

In the Wake of Japan's Massive Earthquake, FTC Warns Consumers About Potential Charity Scams

After the earthquake that rocked Japan?s northeast coast and triggered a widespread tsunami last week, the Federal Trade Commission is urging consumers to be cautious of potential charity scams.

The FTC, the nation?s consumer protection agency, warns consumers to carefully consider urgent appeals for aid that they receive in person, by phone or mail, by e-mail, on websites, or on social networking sites.

The agency?s Charity Checklist advises consumers about donating wisely to charities.  If you are asked to contribute to a charity, the FTC recommends that you:

   * Ask for the name of the charity if the telemarketer does not provide it promptly;
   * Ask what percentage of your donation will support the cause described in the solicitation;
   * Verify that the charity has authorized the solicitation;
   * Do not provide any credit card or bank information until you have reviewed all information from the charity and made the decision to donate;
   * Ask for a receipt showing the amount of the contribution and stating that it is tax deductible; and
   * Avoid cash gifts. For security and tax record purposes, it?s best to pay by check ? made payable to the beneficiary, not the solicitor.

The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Watch a new video, How to File a Complaint, at ftc.gov/video to learn more. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by more than 1,800 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

You didn't print the whole previous message..The number to call for Florida is 1-800 435-7352 or www.800helpfla.com

They called this morning saying the represent Florida Power and Light Company and would like to come to our home and tell us how we can save on our electric bill....This is definitely a scam. Any other Floridians who receive this should call the Florida Dept Of Agriculture & Consumer Services Monday thru Friday at 1-800-435-7352...Their website is www..800helpfla.com  Hope they get them...Although I have no faith in our system anymore...

if this caller calls me one more time, i am going to report them to the state as I am on a no call list and do not want their product or information! This is nothing but an annoyance and I do not want them to contact me any more.
