Calls have come in from this number before.  All the Caller ID shows is the number.  No message is ever left.

This number now being used by the  "To update your Google listing for 2013 press one."

They have been calling me for a year. I've asked them to remove me from their list and block the number; but they just change their number and keep calling.

I just got a call, I try not to answer because then they know they have a good number to keep pushing through the dialer. But when I have time to kill, I will answer and keep them on the phone giving them phony info for my credit cards, just for a laugh, or I'll talk in a heavy accent and be super interested in what they have to offer, and then I'll say a few choice words and hang up on them. But the best thing is to just not answer the call at all. If its a number I dont know, it can't be too important..

Very annoying calls and no one is ever on the line.  I want to remove my name and number from these lists.

received call from this number and no one was on the other line. kinda getting sick of this happening daily with multiple different phone numbers

Called cell (25 cents/minute) while I was driving.
Did not say ANYTHING = total silence.

Would be interesting if they're Democratic party political - I'm a Republican.

They've called twice w/in 90 minutes and don't leave a msg. When you do answer a lot of times no one is on the other end. They call my cell phone & my home number.

kept redialing, finally got a recording to remove my number.  Hope this is useful to anyone here.  Good hunting.

NEVER, ever do anything like this. It's like expecting an e-mail spammer to stop spamming your Inbox if you click on their link. It does NOTHING but tell the spammer - e-mail or phone - that they have a viable address/number to spam harder and sell to the next spammer..

So, just DO NOT do this. Period.

The more messengers who are shot the less of them we have bothering us. So, yes, do shoot the messenger.

Calling on home and cell phone.  Hang up on me when I call back.
Very annoying - how does one get rid of them?

Now this group and others are calling on cell phones - wasting your minutes...... maybe the sequester will stop of of this??:)) HA! HA!

lower credit card , pressed 1 told to take off call list they hung up on me SURPRISED! Just got one yesterday also, the do not call list is a big joke and the other one you file a complaint to is also a big joke. hit the reject on phone is also a big joke as they just call from another number called my telephone provider and cost me money to tell these jerks to buzz off and not in these terms. just tired of it now see a number don't have in contacts don't answer.

Calls, if no one answers does not leave a message.

This number calls me once a week and it is in regards with credit card debit and when you speak to a live person to remove me from their call list, they are nasty personnel.

I think they started back up again.

Maybe you folks should re-read what the Do Not Call list really does!  There are several types of calls that are exempt from that; just being on the list will not, in itself, stop these annoying calls - unfortunately!

If you're lucky and these calls come on your cell phone (as they do mine), you can use the option key and put the number into a "reject" list/file!  In my case, if they call my number a second time, they get a message that I am not accepting calls from that number...but the bonus is that I don't hear the phone ring!!
On my home phone, I have a similar service (AT&T), where I can block that specific number!  I will admit that it's not fool proof, but it sure cuts down on the number of telemarketer calls!

Well let's change that crap huh? I just told them the say thing. If they are in fact exempt, then what is the point of DO NOT CALL. If that is the case then everybody is in on the scam except us.

I am receiving erroneous calls from this number and many others and even after the call is answered, many times, no one answers or busy signal if you try to call back. This is not the only one however, regardless as to whether you use "DO NOT CALL" or not. Really what is the purpose. This is my cell phone and it costs dearly for this crap that I do not want. Another number starts with 704

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 all 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.
Most 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.

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.
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 very short time.

This is an all out attack from these scum sucking filthy pigs! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. 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).

If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. 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. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the Caller ID at no charge as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.

There is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.
http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com

The FCC has temporarily halted 7 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since they are making money with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like http://www.telephonemanagement.net and http://www.CallerID4U.com

In their own words:  'Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.'

You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. They are making money even if you don't answer the phone. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their scam then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.

Owner of the company, Johan Hendrik Smit Duyzentkunst, denied any knowledge of this operation and claimed that someone was using his platform to place the calls without his knowledge. At the height of this telephone debacle it's been said that Rachel was making 27 calls a second, which is a whopping 2.4 million calls in a single day!

Advance Fee Fraud

http://www.occ.gov/topics/consumer-protection ... -fee-fraud.html

Advance fee fraud, also called upfront fee fraud, is any scam that, in exchange for a fee,

   Promises to send you money, products, or services;
   Offers you the opportunity to participate in a special deal;
   Asks for your assistance in removing funds from a country in political turmoil; or
   Asks for your assistance to help law enforcement catch thieves.

Whatever the scammers call the upfront fees (membership fee, participation fee, administrative or handling fee, taxes) all have one thing in common: the victims never see their money, or the scammers, again. Advance fee schemes come in many forms. We have provided some examples here. For more information, you can also visit the Federal Trade Commission Web site http://www.ftc.gov/ and perform a key word search.

Debt Elimination Fraud

Unlike legitimate companies who work with debtors to help them responsibly repay their debts, debt elimination scammers promise to make you debt free in exchange for a modest upfront or membership fee that they simply pocket. Victims pulled in by these schemes will certainly lose that fee, but they may also lose property, incur additional debt, damage their credit rating, risk identity theft, or face legal action. To learn more, read Answers about Debt Elimination and Fraudulent Schemes http://www.helpwithmybank.gov/get-answers/cre ... e-quesindx.html or visit the Bureau of Consumer Protection on the Federal Trade Commission Web site http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/index.shtml.

Nigerian Fraud

This fraud combines identify theft and advance fee fraud. Scammers posing as government officials contact victims asking for help in transferring millions of dollars out of Nigeria in exchange for a percentage of the funds. They convince victims to provide their bank name and account numbers and other identifying information and to send checks to pay for bribes or legal fees. Perpetrators may also use the personal information received to drain victims' accounts and credit cards. The Nigerian government is not sympathetic to victims who, by participating in this scheme, violate both Nigerian and U.S. law.

Mass Marketing Fraud
General Overview
Mass marketing fraud is a general term for frauds which exploit mass-communication media, such as telemarketing, mass mailings, and the Internet. Since the 1930s, mass marketing has been a widely accepted and exercised practice. Advances in telecommunications and financial services technologies have further served to spur growth in mass marketing, both for legitimate business purposes as well as for the perpetration of consumer frauds. They share a common theme: the use of false and/or deceptive representations to induce potential victims to make advance fee-type payments to fraud perpetrators. Although there are no comprehensive statistics on the subject, it is estimated mass marketing frauds victimize millions of Americans each year and generate losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The following is a brief description of some of the key concepts and schemes associated with the mass marketing/advance fee fraud crime problem.

Advance Fee Fraud: This category of fraud encompasses a broad variety of schemes which are designed to induce their victims into remitting upfront payments in exchange for the promise of goods, services, and/or prizes.

The predominantly transnational nature of the mass marketing fraud crime problem presents significant impediments to effective investigation by any single agency or national jurisdiction. Typically, victims will reside in one or more countries, perpetrators will operate from another, and the financial/money services infrastructure of numerous additional countries are utilized for the rapid movement and laundering of funds. For these reasons, the FBI is uniquely positioned to assist in the investigation of these frauds through its network of legal attaché (legat) offices located in over 60 U.S. Embassies around the world. By leveraging its global presence and network of liaison contacts, the FBI has successfully cooperated with other domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies to combat, disrupt, and dismantle international mass marketing fraud groups. The FBI participates in the International Mass Marketing Fraud Working Group (IMMFWG), a multi-agency working group established to facilitate the multi-national exchange of information and intelligence, the coordination of cross-border operational matters, and the enhancement of public awareness of international mass marketing fraud schemes. The current membership of the IMMFWG consists of law enforcement, regulatory, and consumer protection agencies from seven countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

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: 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.
