Got the call. I finally answered and stopped the person dead in her tracks. Told her that she called my cell and I did not authorize her to do so. I told her to remove my number from her call list or I would contact FCC, like that would do any good. FCC says, anyone can call your cell phone. She said, "What??" and she promptly hung up.

The followin was reprinted from http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/consumer/advisories ... l-registry.html

Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry

Claims made in widely circulated emails stating that cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers in the near future are not true according to the Federal Trade Commission. While any consumer can register their cell phone with the federal Do Not Call Registry, there is no deadline by which you must do so.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers and the national association representing telemarketers has stated that their members do not intend to start calling consumers' cell phones.

While the telecommunications industry has been discussing the possibility of creating a wireless 411 directory, most telemarketing calls to cell phones would still be illegal according to the FCC, regardless of whether the number is listed on the federal Do Not Call Registry.

More information is available from the Federal Trade Commission and the federal Do Not Call Registry.

Have received several calls from this number.  sometimes 3 or 4 per day.  Supposedly offering a vacation package which I have told them several times I am not interested.  When I asked to have my number removed from they're list the ladies, if that's what you want to call her, said "you wish."

I just received a call from this phone number saying that there was a new Travel Agency opening in Salt Lake City and that I was chosen as a VIP customer.  The man had a middle eastern accent but I didn't catch his name or the company name.  He offered a free trip or a free google tablet if I came in to verify some of my personal information at the stores location and that I could view the premium hotels to choose from.  I pretended to lose a connection and hung up.  He tried calling back but only once.

The DNC does work though. Scammers/frauds and extortionist and the unscrupulous non law abiding ones don't obey any laws..  

Keeping a log of all this is good. But many of these numbers take time for the FTC & FCC, and FBI etc to track down, not to mention some are located in foreign country's in which case our country has to get them to work with us to nab the perps!

Do turn those reports in!

Just got a call from this # this evening (8/23/2013).  Sounded like an Asian woman speaking in either Vietnamese, or Chinese.  I Have started keeping a log of all unwanted/unsolicited calls for possible use by FBI and/or my use in court since DNC list CLEARLY doesn't work.

Got yet another call again today; this time is was from someone who identified himself (after I asked for his full name) as "James Carpenter".  I suspect this may not be his real name.  I asked to speak to a supervisor; was told supervisor was outside, so I asked to have supervisor call me back.  As of this writing have not yet received call back from supervisor.  Logging yet another complaint on the FTC website.

Got a call from this person saying he was a representative of "direct buy".  When he started into his message I stopped him and said "I'm really not interested.  Please remove my number from your list."  He said "OK. . . so f_ _ k you" and hung up.  Tried to call the number back and got the majic jack calling message. Wonder if there is some "legal" way to end the life of clowns like this?

Update on my earlier post.  Someone named Maria had called me three times and each time I asked/directed her to delete my cellphone number from their call list. I emphasized that it's illegal for them to telemarket to cellphones without my express prior written consent.

That lasted about two weeks.  This evening someone else called me from the same number and I told him as well that they have to delete me from their call list.  I'm going to search for the FTC/FCC website links to lodge a formal complaint.

I have gotten two telemarketing calls to my cell phone from Direct Buy.  I have never done business with these people and have no idea how they would have gotten my cellphone number but told them in no uncertain terms that it is illegal to make telemarketing calls to cellphones and said they need to remove my phone number from their database immediately.  The woman seemed more interested in trying to sell me something anything she thought was really exciting.  They're calling me from out of state, so if they call me again, I think I will call the US Attorney General to report them for this.   I've seen other postings on this website indicating this company continues to pester and pester and pester people with calls.

This number just called me and said they were direct but. This man was the most unprofessional man I have ever spoken too. He insisted I won a vacation blah blah blah so I asked can you take me off your do not call list please? He had the nerve to say why all nasty, so I continued to say I didn't appreciate these phone calls to my personal phone number and the idiot hung up on me. Direct buy you have terrible customer service and makes your business look so bad!!!

I just received a call from this number too. Which led to me Googling it.

Me: Hello?
Her (heavy accent, Asian?): Yes hello ma'am. How are you today. (Right away sounded odd.)
Me: Hi, who are you trying to reach?
Her: I'm calling from Direct Buy. (I think that's where she said)
Me: Who are you trying to reach?
* She never answered me, and then hung up.

Don't ever give your personal information to people you don't know.

I just got phone call from this number, but the non-english speaking lady said she was from King's Resort.  They are spamming numbers from Craigslist.  I have asked them to stop calling my cellphone for 6 months.  They are now calling from 6 different phone numbers.  Unfortunately, I have resorted to blowing whistles or air horns into the phone when I answer the phone and recognize their number.  Seems to keep them from calling back for a while.

ME:  (nicely) would you please remove us from your calling list?
HER:  shut up
ME?  excuse me?
her:  shut...up
ME?  excuse me, I would just like to be removed from your callings list please.
HER:  shut up bi*** (she hangs up)

Sounds like a real scam - wants all of your personal information - said they were from Direct Buy - foreign woman - kept calling me - finally I asked to be put on no call list - she said "why not take advantage of a great deal moron" - then said "FXXX U" and hung up!  I will be sure to report them!

I just received a call from this number on my cellphone from a heavily accented man claiming to be "Mike" who said that he was offering me a VIP invitation from Direct Buy.  Direct Buy endlessly sends me SPAM via email which can usually block, but having a call on my cellphone during dinnertime is a gross intrusion.

Got a call from this number and an asian male voice who I couldn't understand, stated he was from R.I. and I asked him to repeat 3 times where and who he was from, then dead silence.  So I looked up this number and found several comments.  Seems like their scam uses men and women for their phony presentations.  I had just posted ads on Craiglist and now I figured out where they got my phone no.. My advice is to never answer your cell phone unless you know who it is or let them leave you a message.   I got another phone call last week from 306-633--9168 and when I tried to call it back, wouldn't let me threw.  Coincidence?  Think not, maybe same people, different scams.   BEWARE!

Posted a sale on Craigslist... started getting calls from this number, went through the rigamarole trying to understand the broken English... apparently needed my credit card I said I do not have one, again hard to understand but was trying to ask if I even had an expired one, I said no, never had a credit card a day in my life and then got 'oh sorry.. cannot extend this gift' and suddenly pieces of what she'd been saying started to make sense, something along the lines of time share and get you credit card number scam...

Asian lady, bad English, called my longtime cell number saying I won a free trip, I think, and mentioned my town location which was off by about 20 miles.  I said nothing is free and take me off the call list and she kept talking.   I repeated the take me off call list 4 times and said my next comment would be rude.  She said "you not interested" and I repeated to not call again.  She hung up.   Scam

Got a call from this number on my cell phone - I answered without giving my name and asked the woman calling who she was looking for, she said "the owner of this phone" then read out my number. When I asked what she wanted, I thought she said she was calling for "Direct Voice in Naperville, Illinois" but reading the prior posts on this thread, I think I misheard her and she probably said "Direct Buy." I told her not to call again and hung up, then filed a complaint at donotcall.gov.

Got a call saying I won a vacation and blah blah.  I asked how they got my number and he said he would transfer me to a manager to explain all the great details of my winnings.  

I then explained I am on the "do not call" list and he magically just hung up.  

Coincidentally, I just posted some stuff on craigslist for sale and got this call...
