Kept saying hello no one on the line hung up.

concur with many other comments before; these chaps have been calling, of and on, last year 2008 and this year; my solution -- when I see the number pop up, I hang up!

Called our company several times in last couple of weeks.  I've confirmed our info. they have on file is correct then was past to someone else in "Quality Control", I believe.  He asked for MY personal information for security purposes.  Who's security???? Most likely not mine.  I don't own this company, just work here.  They don't need any information about me for Yellow Pages, I think he said with his Indian accent.  I can not imagine this is legal or on the up and up.  What are the appropriate steps to take to halt all of these types of calls.

Got a call yesterday saying they were updating some free business listing at United States Online Directory...  Started asking personal information.  Rude behavior.

How great is our Country when it allows scammers from other countries to repeatedly call and annoy us? Why do we bother to pay taxes to fund a Government that does not look after our interests?

We recieve several calls a week from this number. It is so hard to answer the call center with them constantly calling. After the information was updated they wanted to pass me to "Quality Manager". What is up with that. I hung up. They called back, the call was disconnected again. They want take "stop calling here" for an answer.

I'm so glad that this site exists.  I didn't answer the call because I didn't recognize the area code and now I know to avoid it in the future.  Thanks to all for posting a complaint!

I must have mad these screw balls mad. I answered our phone with two words and as soon as the screw ball started talking, I put it on mute and after he said hello hello 5 or 6 times, he hung up.  Must have made him mad as he has called back two times and hung up.  It's taking up more of his time than mine, I'm retired.

All right, no if you want to gig'm a little and you have call blocking on your phone
On your phn key pad, type in  [ *78#546286611 ] When they call you, they will get a busy signal.
To reverse it, which you won't, type in  [ *79#5462866611 ]

Your welcome

These people are a great stress relief.  I have cussed them out no less than 5 times in the last 2 days and they keep calling back.

I also have received these calls for the past 2 weeks.  I have reported them to the AG's office and registered again on the DO NOT CALL list.  Then they call back with an anonymous name/number.  HELP!

Got a call from 546-286-6611.  Thought my residence was a business.

Relentless attempts from this number to contact me. They never leave a message. Very obnoxious phone etiquette.

SAME AS THE OTHER POSTER..ASKED THEM NOT TO CALL BACK AGAIN, ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY...CALLED AT 7:30 AM..THEY CALLED RIGHT BACK AT 8AM...

This is one of three numbers I'm aware of that are doing this (also a company called ZipNet does this, the three numbers I've seen are 546-286-6611, 877-408-3390, and 703-456-1212), what I've found to work is this:  When you get the rep on the phone, ask politely for their name, the company name, and the state they are in.  Once you have this information inform them (in a harsh, yelling tone) that you will be immediately contacting their state's Atty General as well as pursuing a lawsuit against them for harrassment.  Tell them that they as an individual will also be included in any complaints and/or lawsuits.  So far this has worked for two of the numbers, I have only recenly started getting calls from the 546-number.  Don't waste time feeling bad for the reps, they fully know what kind of scam company they work for.

This is one of a number of scams that have been growing in number in recent months.  "True Yellow Pages", "Yellow Pages Online", "ZipWeb", etc etc. Are all examples of this.  They call to "update your information for your free listing".  Their web listing either does not exist or does not turn up on any search engines (I have checked this myself as well as having friends who work for Google and Yahoo check into it, this is a total scam).  Uninformed person likes idea of free listing and gives the info, at some point the caller gets the uninformed person to say the word "Yes", at which point they sign them up for the pay service after a 30-day trial (they bill via 3rd party through your phone bill), basically they will take the audio recording of you saying "Yes" and paste it to a statement by their rep asking if you understand the Terms and Conditions of their service, essentially screwing you.  This will make it very difficult to both quit the 'service' and to get back what you've been billed.  

Best things to do are as follows:
1.  Put a 3rd-party billing block on your phone bill ASAP.  Your phone company should do this for no charge to you.
2.  Do not under any circumstances say "Yes" or anything that can be taken as an affirmative statement.  These scams will take that and paste it to their rep asking if you understand the Terms and Conditions of their service, essentially screwing you.
3.  When they call, tell them to remove you from their calling list.  They are trained to ignore this and press for you to update your information.  At that point, raise your voice and threaten lawsuits against both the company and the representative personally.  Be agressive, verbally tear them a new one.  Do this for about one minute, and if they have not already disconnected, then hang up.  You will be much more likely to be removed from their lists if you are forceful bordering on abusive on the phone.  (I've managed to get off the lists of ZipWeb and a couple of the "YellowPages" scams using this approach).
4. (Most Important)  Do NOT feel bad about being abusive toward the rep.  These reps know full well what kind of "business" they are working for, so they are not without sin here.  This is what you must do to get this to stop, so do not hesitate to do it.

Someone called trying to give a free listing on the yellow pages. We are on
the national do not call list. He hung up when I started to tell him that we were on the list. I was unable to call the number!!!!

We get so many of these types of calls at our small business.  Time spent on these nuisance calls is time we don't spend doing things for our business and our customers.

I've started asking these callers for the web address of the website where we supposedly "already have a free listing", and tell them I'd like to look at it first before giving them any information.  Then the stuttering and stammering begins.

Today's caller said he wasn't authorized to give me the website information so I told him I wasn't authorized to give him any of our company information, and then I promptly hung up.

Same thing happened here (near Philadelphia). No matter how many times I ask to be removed from their list, they keep calling.

It is already Ellegal
we need to be able to block calls from out side of the country. and that will only work for a little while.

These scumbags continue to call and then hang up.  I am on the no-call list, and if I find out who they are, I will report them to the state Attorney General.

call repeatedly and ask if # is busness or resedence, have called 10 times in the last 5 weeks, every time they are told resedence, same indian accent and will not identify themselves. called # back and told cannot be completed as dialed. who are they and how do i get rid of them, i'm on the no call list also

Same problem, we have strongly told them to take our number out of their call system, to delete whatever listing info they have. We have told them we have reported this to the FCC and state attorney general's office. They still call...

RECEIVE "ONLINE YELLOW PAGES" CALLS FROM VARIOUS NUMBERS NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY. TOLD GUY THIS MORNING THAT I HAVE REQUESTED THEY NOT CALL AND HE SAID "I WILL CALL SEVERAL TIMES A DAY" I SAID EXCUSE ME? HE SAID "YES CAN CALL SEVERAL TIMES A DAY" ACCENT TO ALL THESE PEOPLE-USUALLY CAN DETECT BUT THIS NUMBER STUMPED ME. BEING A BUSINESS IT IS DIFFICULT TO CATCH THEM ALL BEFORE ANSERING

Called today twice, checked here to see who they were. Got the old police whistle out my mom gave me 20 years ago for prank callers. Ya think they will call back? Good thing I have great lungs. Do not call lists are a joke. Telephone company says they cannot help. Maybe these calls will fall on deaf ears, oh I will go get an air horn for the next one. I pay my bills, no one should be calling me unless I invited them to. If I want something I will get it. Don't know about you guys but I am at the point enough is enough, calling all hours, hang ups, cannot understand what language they are speaking. Time for some old fashion medicine.

Someone called me from this number and tried to trick me into getting some online directory services.

Blah...  I am so damn tired of calls from people like this.

They say they are from National Yellow Pages and online directory which lists you for free.

Second call today.  I don't answer.
