Like most of you here I also bought films from them many many years ago,  they call daily from various numbers... i do not answer at all and they just keep calling.  you would think after a billion times of calling and not reaching anyone they would give up...

It's possible they were trying to reach the prior owner of your number! I haven't bought anything from them in about 13 years and all of a sudden they've started calling relentlessly! They do have good films they have edited for families but are VERY persistent in trying to sell them.

I got a call last night and the man said my name as though I knew him after I said hello.  I accidentally hung up on him before anything else was said I figured he'd call back. I used to receive calls from feature films of America for families years ago and I remember them not taking no for an answer and they try to guilt you into purchasing these movies to help keep them afloat and get your kids good moral lessons. They will say you want these types of movies to continue being made don't you. You think it is a good idea for your kids to watch movies with good moral values don't you.  I don't feel so bad for hanging up now!

If you get any call from any of these type of numbers just call them back dialing *67 and then the number and it will block them.

More calls.  I've received LOTS of calls from the various Feature Films for Families numbers.  This one, 412-430-5663, 607-203-5669, 866-840-4246 (maybe - it's one of many numbers that keep calling), 678-310-2858, 651-333-4104- 618-221-0188, 951-266-5572, 657-202-9080, 215-383-3472... yeah, they're from all over the country.

Here's Wikipedia's take on it:
Feature Films for Families (FFFF) is a privately owned company that sends out videos that its website, named Family TV, calls "family movies with family values".[1] The company, its owner, and related companies have been the subject of several government and phone company lawsuits concerning deceptive practices and illegal telemarketing, including calling people again who had told the companies to stop calling, and targeting "parents and grandparents" with false "fundraiser" claims after the victims received DVDs and a survey.

In 2009, Feature Films for Families and the Dove Foundation together paid $70,000 to Missouri's Merchandising Practices Revolving Fund after using the Dove Foundation to solicit on behalf of the for-profit Feature Films for Families to attempt to evade the Missouri No Call law. Feature Films for Families had created an alliance with the Dove Foundation, a non-profit foundation which is known for its activities of rating, reviewing, and endorsing films. The two companies worked together via telemarketing, but because Feature Films for Families is a for-profit corporation, this allegiance violated Missouri's No Call law.[6]

In 2010, Verizon Wireless filed suit against Feature Films for Families after the company allegedly placed nearly 500,000 illegal automated telemarketing calls in ten days to the mobile phones on Verizon's network. The calls were recorded advertisements for the FFFF film The Velveteen Rabbit.[7]

In a related suit in May 2011, the Justice Department, acting for the Federal Trade Commission, filed a complaint[8] in U.S. District Court in Florida charging Feature Films for Families, Inc., its owner Forrest S. Baker III, and two other companies owned by Baker ? named "Corporations for Character, L.C." and "Family Films of Utah" ? with "waging deceptive and illegal telemarketing campaigns pitching movies and soliciting for donations, including calls to more than 16 million phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry."[2] The complaint seeks "a court order to permanently bar the defendants from violating the FTC Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, as well as civil penalties, and disgorgement of their ill-gotten gains."[2] Among the behavior described by the complaint:

Calling over 2 million Do Not Call Registry numbers in a space of only two weeks.
Calling people again who had already told the companies not to call them.
Using fake Caller ID names like "CUSTOMER SVC", "FAMILY VALUES CB", and "VELVETEEN", and failing to orally identify the seller, the purpose of the call, and the nature of what was being advertised.
Claiming that "all of the proceeds of this fundraiser will help us finish up creating this recommended viewing list to help parents and grandparents, like us, with a list we can trust" when the organization responsible for the list was not receiving all of the money, and the for-profit companies kept at least 93% of the proceeds.
Doing additional telemarketing on behalf of organizations whose names were related to police and firefighters, and claiming that the administrative costs were a "very minimal amount", then keeping most of the donations for the telemarketers themselves.[2]

And they keep calling???

For the past week, I have been receiving calls from 412-430-5663, 321-935-4737, 607-203-5669.  These calls are coming in on my business line. I have saved the number under spam and I purchased an air horn. When the call comes in I'm using the horn. Hoping that works.

I received a call from this number. A real person asked for a first name of someone who does not live here, and I told them the same. The man said he would remove me from the list. I tried to look it up on the internet and it says it is a bogus number. Caller ID said FFF Customer Service.

Smart A$$ Robot call.  Feature Films it claims.  Tries to insist that it is human.   Asked it to say "I am not a robot" and it could not do it.  After a couple tries, it then asked when it could call back.  Told it DNC ever again.

Just so you know, I subscribed to Feature Films for Families when my oldest daughter was a toddler. She turned 18 last year. I had not heard from them in years and I started getting calls around September. Told them my daughter was going to be an adult and they said they now have movies for young adults. I didn't stay on the phone long after that. Bottom line - don't be surprised about the 10 years. I haven't had contact with them in about 15 years until last September! (yes, I've had the same cell number all that time)

I received a phone call from this number and did not answer as well.  I have been receiving multiple phone calls from numbers I do not recognize and don't answer them and when i look them up most of the time the Internet says telemarketing.  I have re-registered on the Do-Not Call site.  Can't wait for my 30 days to be in effect.

Same issue here.  A computerized voice asked for "Kimberly"? of course no one named Kimberly lives here.  We have had this number for 15 years. Like others, when I called the number that shows on the caller ID I received the message stating that this number has been disconnected.  ?SCAM!

This number is for Feature Films for Families.  When I answered they asked for someone else. They told me they would call again and that is when I asked who they were.  They said there was no message and they would try again later. Which means a sales call trying to get you/or the person they asked for to purchase more movies from them.  I told them that they reached my cell phone and they would never reach the person they asked for at my number.  I have had the same number for 10 years so it really is unlikely that who they asked for was the previous owner of my number.
