I feel like I've gotten more calls since I added my number to the "Do Not Call" list.

Didn't leave a message.

They have literally called 4 times in the last 2 hours. I answered on the last one, they asked for my mother and said it was for "a very important matter" and I asked for some information. I asked to take a message, number, and name for my mom to call back. I asked what the call was about and if it was so important why hadn't he left a message. Basically trolling the guy for info about why he was calling my house. While he was on the phone I found this page and just said dude, you're a scammer. Once I called him out on it he asked when my mother was getting home to call back and basically I said fall in a ditch and don't call here again. Definitely pissed him off a bit. Oops?

called me twice today.  as others have stated, returned call, no longer in service.  I'm in Michigan.

Same here ...no msg ..long voicemail that was silent.hmm

This number always calls me!!! I got very mad this time and told him i have already told them to take me off the call list and he told me it would coast me $150 to have them do that. i fought and fought with the guy before i just hung out. He said he was with some government federal buro crap and before i hung up he said if i don't pay the money he will call me ever second of everyday intil i do!!!

Same here.

got a call from this number and I know no one at this area code

Frequent calls.  If I answer the caller hangs up.  Here is the most annoying part:   When I call the number back I get a recording that says,  "You have reached a number that is no longer in service"     What BS!

Your Welcome! :)

im ti red of this

abusive collections

Blows my phone up all the one. When I call back it says disconnected or no longer in service

Called my house as well.. The connection was horrible... They were looking for my mother ..Called my landline

Why be on the "do not call" list when telemarketers, scammers keep calling

I have been receiving calls today and I called the number back the first time and it said no longer in service.  Since then Ihave read some of these other comments and have not answered any calls.  About 3 more within 4 hours.

I just received a call from this number. A woman claimed to be calling from some department of the government and claimed that I had been selected to win 7 thousand dollars. I played along for a bit until she asked me whether I would like it transferred to a credit card or bank account. Pretty obviously a scam. The woman was of Hispanic descent. English was clearly not her native language.

This number haves been calling my mother phone
.I want that number to stop calling

Called me with horrible connection kept saying what... finaly he said the department of something, I said department of what... fist sentence I understood was him say oh my goodness before hanging up.

The same call cam from 202-556-5522..  

Similar to the one-ring hangup calls. I think they are attempting to get people to call them back and somehow scam them for phone charges or some such thing. DO NOT CALL THEM BACK.

This number keeps calling my cell!! As posted from others, it states the number is no longer in service if I return the call.

Called cell phone and answered but no one said anything, I just hung up.

called and told me I was selected to be in a porn movie   what the hell!!

keeps calling even though it's blocked. Says it's "Vivian Desouza".

Block this repeated unknown caller

San Francisco, CA. Leaves no message on the machine and I will not answer numbers I do not know.  I would assume this was  a scam.

Three calls today from this number so far today in 6 hours.  Call back says "no longer in service".

This number is blowing up my cell phone all day! Never eaves message.  I'm on east coast!!! This is really annoying

Thank you so much for the great information... just got in from out of town, and didn't get a chance to thank you...
Have a great day, week, month, year!!!
