Received phone call on my cell from 607-203-5669. Don't know that number, so I didn't answer. No message left. I've been getting a ton of calls lately from different numbers with no caller ID and they're leaving no messages.

You are right. It comes from a "christian" organization for family oriented movies. I answered the 607 one and I received both numbers too. I bought from them well over 10 years ago and I have told them several times not to call me anymore. They are ignoring my request. So, what is next? If they call again I will contact an attorney.

Got several calls, no messages. Blocked the number

Thank you Avanders!!!! This make sense after I read that the numbers are from Feature Films! Over 15 years ago I ordered movies from these people until my step-kids out grew them, I told them I didn't need any more movies because the kids were grown up, plus I have probably 50 VHS tapes from them, they wouldn't stop calling for at least 2yrs, they kept wanting me to return the VHS tapes for DVD's for $20 a tape, I told them I couldn't afford to do that and to just take me off their calling list but they didn't, I ended up having to be rude and tell them to stop calling me for good! It still took awhile for them to stop calling but eventually they did, its been quite a few years since I've heard from them until now, I started getting phone calls from all these out of state numbers on 3/11/14 sometimes up to 5 a day! All the numbers you listed plus 4 additional numbers are the ones on my phone! (909-259-9838, 626-544-5582, 630-491-2337, 773-945-5645,) I guess I will be blocking these numbers for sure!

Same here those 2 numbers. I believe the412 number is a company that sells family oriented movies
| Melissa 2014-03-19 00:24:02 Telemarketer |
Same here, several calls a day with no messages. Not answering the calls. Ridiculous.
| Teresa A 2014-03-18 12:47:52 Unknown |
Called me but I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know. They never leave a message.
| MrsWhite 2014-03-18 00:30:39 Unknown |
don't know who it was
| Kimberly 2014-03-17 19:40:52 Unknown |
I am so sick and tired of receiving these messages and don't even know who or where they are calling from and why they are calling. Can they please stop calling?
| justjody 2014-02-20 00:03:42 Unknown |
there is not a no call cell list. that is a hoax and it doesn't work. If you want to stop them from calling you, dial *67 and then that number. Let it ring twice and hang up and it will block them from calling you again.
| jhover 2014-02-12 16:32:34 Unknown |
I got calls from both 607-203-5669 and the 412-430-5663 numbers you reference. No messages. Just calls.
I hate spamers.
| Cricket 2014-02-12 15:48:17 Unknown |
I did not answer, no message left. Very annoying to receive unwanted calls when on the "Do Not Call" list!
| William Johnson 2014-02-04 14:02:44 Unknown |
I received a call from this number and a man asked for my wife. I said she was unavailable and began to ask if i could take a message. The male caller interrupted me saying he'd call back and hung up abruptly. I felt something was wrong so I did the reverse call, and judging by the comments I read this could be a scam and should be investigated.
| Cathryn 2014-01-29 18:00:06 Unknown |
I think this was the number that ask for Linda when they called my. Same here on the registry for do not call and ask them to take me off their call list. We will see. I did re register my number
| Cathryn 2014-01-29 17:57:53 Unknown |
They called I did not answer and i will not call back because that will actually keep your number activated in their system
| craig carpenter 2014-01-28 01:45:22 Unknown |
im on the no call cell phone list and this number is calling me I want them charged and how do we go about suing them for breaking the law

Thanks Avanders for the info!
Just got a call from this number and decided to pick up (I've been getting random calls from many area codes over the last month!). The caller was asking for a "Geneva". Sorry, no Geneva. I've had my number for 13 years. When I asked the caller which company he was calling from, he hung up on me!
So, I called back, got a Customer Service rep. This guy was even worse! He wouldn't say what company he was working at. Only that they represent "many" companies. I asked again to name a few, he replied the same that they represent many companies. He looked up my number and said it was for a "Geneva Smith". Really? I told him my number was on the Do Not Call registry. He said he'd submit a request to take my number off their list, we'll see he if really did that.

Yeah. 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???

more calls, no messages... just keeping these forums updated!
This appears to be linked to "Feature Films," which is using several different numbers to harass random people... Have received a lot of these!

SAME ALOT OF SPAM CALLS STARTING A MONTH AGO
| PenguinsInKansas 2014-01-21 15:17:34 Unknown |
Just called me during school. Didn't answer, and they didn't leave a message.
| Susan 2014-01-16 19:32:21 Unknown |
I missed a call from this phone number. They didn't leave a voicemail, which is always suspicious with out-of-state phone calls. Two days later, I got a call from my mother saying that someone from New York had called her looking for me. they had money for me, Turned over from the state that I live in, That I need to claim. I haven't called back yet, but I suspect that when I do they are going to want money from me so that I can claim my money. Very common scam! Do not ever give financial information over the phone to someone that claims they have money for you!
| Avanders 2014-01-16 16:52:13 Unknown |
I've been getting a LOT of calls lately from spammers, including this one. No message. Just keep on calling...

| Linda 2014-01-08 16:51:24 Unknown |
Didn't recognize this number so I ignored it. They didn't leave a message. They called yesterday at 8:28 p.m. Annoying!!!!!
| Jim 2014-01-08 09:37:40 Unknown |
I didn't recognize this number, so I didn't answer. When I tried to call it back a couple hours later, I got a recording that the number was not in service, weird.
| Kay 2014-01-08 02:11:05 Unknown |
I ignored it also, they left no message.
