It is a Credit Collection agency, they buy old outdated debt, and attempt to make contact with the debtor.
IF they make contact, they can continue to legally pursue the debt collection even though it is way over 7 years old.
It is a scam that the government (run by the banks) allows to go on.
Simply by answering the phone and pressing a number, once they hear a human voice, they have legally "made contact"
and are free to harass the (expired) debtor for as long as they want.

Gotta adjust attitude on this stuff, folks. Make it a fun game. Keep em on the line as long as possible. If everyone did this, they'd give up. Or at least you'd have a little creative fun meanwhile. Give it a try... Cheers!

I tell them that Allah is gay and he enjoys performing oral sex on boys.  Then I tell them that the U.S. will nuke them one day and that American's will own India in the future and will enslave them.

Always tell them that Allah is homosexual and enjoys performing oral sex on men.  They almost get as annoyed as those they call.

When you press 1, that gives them Money straight charged from your phone... That's why you just don't answer. I'm surprised the guy didn't laugh when he picked up... FAIL

I guess you couldn't have possibly have made your point without calling someone names.
People do get terrorized by constant phone calls, there are many different kinds of terrorism.
This is a site to list #'s and help people with advice, not to come to and malign each other.

I received a call on my cell phone and didn't answer for the following reason:  As soon as the phone is answered, they get paid from the caller ID feature on our phones.  They make more money from caller ID and our phone companies are the ones who have to shell out the money.  The telemarketers don't care if they talk to anyone and will usually hang up because they've already generated money as soon as you picked up the phone.  Huge legal scam but to whom do we complain?

get unwanted calls from several numbers in the 406 area code on my cell phone.  No message is left.   I answered a couple of times and it was one of those credit card scams.  I am on the National do not call, but still get calls. I am sure they change up the numbers so that you cannot totally block them out as different numbers from the same area code show up on my phone.

Don't waste time with the Do Not call list, use FCC Complaints. Use http://www.fcc.gov/complaints

I use it for EVERY spam call I get and then I don't get them anymore. It works!!!

This number just called my cell phone. They didn't leave a message so I am assuming it is a robo call since very few people have my cell phone number. I don't give it out to everyone because I have limited minutes. I don't answer the phone if I don't know who it is. They can leave a message. Annoying because I have been on the do not call list from the start.

Got calls, several at all times of night or day. Don't answer they don't say or respond to you if they do it's very clear it's a joke,prank, scam, which alot of them will only add or pass you number on to others that some may be able to find info just from your answering the call and user or sell it to others to add to  their list to try and get personal info on you to use for all and any of their illegal purposes
Just don't answer any number you don't recognize plus they can also be from another country that will add alot of extra costs on your phone bill.

I also got a call from the number, no message, so I called it back and recorded message said "The number you have dialed is unallocated".

Based on other's experience with this number, I filed a complaint online with the Federal Do Not Call registry. I have reported many spam text messages and phone calls there, and they all stopped...for awhile. Looks like it's started up again.

I pressed "1" because I love trying to get them to never call me again.

Guy says ?Are you responding to the debt reduction offer??
Me with a touch of sarcasm ?Yeah I?m really interested!?
Guy ?Well walk to the nearest interstate and step in front of an 18wheeler and I?ll call your bank.?
I hung up because I really didn't know where to go from there.

I think they hate themselves as much as we hate them.

I did the same thing this morning when the caller started cussing me out. I filed report with FCC & FTC but doubt anything will happen. I was also told by Atty Gen nothing can be done except to hang up. I'm gonna get a whistle and when a live person comes on blow it in their ear. If we deafen enough of them maybe it will stop. Atty Gen said 'do it, they called you'...so I'm gonna 'do it'! lol

Disclaimer:  This post is an attempt at humor (or frustration), it is not meant to be taken seriously.

Why can't something be done about these calls?
Let us take a look at a few things that might influence the inability to stop these calls.

Caller ID:
1). Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
2). Many of the criminals behind this are using VOIP which gives them very cheap international calls (many of these calls are coming from India, Belize and Costa Rica). Your phone company makes little profit (if any) on a VOIP call. If they can get enough people angry at the calls then maybe something will be done about regulating the VOIP calls and allow the phone companies to once again become monopolies.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.  

Call blocking:
1).  I personally use Verizon Wireless which allows me to block 5 numbers for 90 days, unless I pay them an additional premium fee which will allow blocking 10 numbers.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
2).  Upgrade my simple non data flip phone to a smart phone and add in data, download an app that will block calls. Since they have called me using more than 160 unique numbers in the last year, this would seem to be the only option.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.

The banking system:
1).  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.
Result:  The fees generated means more money for the banks.
This may have something to do with the banks inability to stop these criminals.

The FCC, FTC and Do Not Call registry:
1). The FTC is only allowed to collect fines, not impose criminal penalties. These companies hide their money in overseas bank accounts and claim that they can't pay the fines.
Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant prison 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.
Result:  The FTC and FCC basically are saying 'Naughty - naughty, now go out and play nice'.
Solution:  Take away government funding for the FTC and FCC. If they want to impose fines then make them self sufficient and use the fines for their operating budget.

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list and NEVER call them back
2.    Consider blocking the number or on a cell phone add it to a contact list and assign NO ring tone
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office
6.    Report any criminal activity to the FBI here:    https://tips.fbi.gov

The FCC has temporarily halted 9 minor boiler rooms that will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. 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. These criminals need to be charged with FEDERAL FELONIES and subjected to significant prison time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. At the height of this telephone debacle it's been said that each call center was making 27 calls a second, which is 2.4 million calls per day.

The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them almost nothing and they make millions of them 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.

Despite the best interagency enforcement efforts to combat mass marketing fraud, the FBI remains cognizant of the fact that the only enduring remedy for this crime problem lies in consumer education and fraud prevention programs. Toward this end, the FBI has not only produced its own mass marketing fraud prevention materials, but coordinates on other public information efforts with the DOJ, FTC, and the USPIS, among others. The FBI also supports a consumer fraud prevention website in conjunction with the USPIS which can be located on the web at: http://www.stopfraud.gov.  Additionally, further information on mass marketing fraud schemes can be found at www.fbi.gov, www.ftc.gov, www.ic3.gov, and www.stopfraud.gov.

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.

EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. It is important to keep up the pressure even though nothing seems to be getting done, or else the government will just sit back and claim they are doing a good job since there are fewer complaints.
Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft and is interstate, the FBI should be forced to get involved. Charge them with a CRIMINAL offense and throw them in prison instead of the FCC saying 'Naughty - naughty, now go out and play nice'. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

PS: The "do not call" lists are useful only for those willing to honor it and are in fear of being caught in violation.  Scammers don't care about honoring the list and, obviously, aren't being pursued by the FTC.  Don't expect them to stop any time soon, since they use techniques to hide their true numbers/identities.

This number called and left no message.  Noticing frequency of random/fake phone numbers on the increase.  Called number back and got an obviously computer generated message saying "The number you have called is unallocated."
