******Telemarketers, spam, scum suckers -- Righting a blog on these #?s help many people. I for one no longer answer calls from #?s I don?t know. Google the # first, you can always call back. If it?s important they will leave a message. Reporting these calls to the ? do not call ? is a waste of time. Call the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 there you can talk to a live person and report up to 5 numbers, Keep in mind these are Federal employees you will be talking too. Or you can go on line to ftc.gov  ( federal trade commission) and file a written complaint, I do both?.   If we ALL do this maybe the FTC will get the message and do something about these illegal calls.

Keep receiving calls to my cell phone, if you try and call back the number states disconnected

This number just called my cell.  I did not answer, no message left.  Thanks everyone for the info.

Received a call today.  Haven't seen this number in a while.  Would someone please take of this matter?

On the National Do Not Call list and still getting several phone calls daily. I want to make this stop!

No answer when I call back and no one ever says anything when I actually answer the call.  Nothing automatic either.  They are really just annoying and I want them to stop

Called 5-1-2013 @ 14:04, didn't answer.  Will surely report and file complaint.  Wish Rachael would find a hobby...

The only way to stop this pos is to stop them permanently. Fines don't work, even prison won't work, not that they would ever be convicted and thrown in jail. I keep hoping one of them will carry out some workplace violence and take out a nest of them. At least then, the shooter will do something good with their life. It is a start to making up for the previous criminal acts they committed.

Reporting is useless. I block each new number, but since it rings the first time, I will answer it and screw with the sh#)head. Today, I told the loser I would blow his face off with a shot to the back of the head and his body would never be found. He asked if I threatened him and I said you started it, I'll finish it. He hung up.

called and left no message caller is from booneville, ms.

I answer and immediately hang up. Has reduced calls dramatically. Also to those who want the Feds involved. Really? they don't control us enough? These calls will never go away regardless of Fed intervention. Why -
as David Hannum said of P.T. Barnum
"There is a sucker born every minute." as long as they get somebody to take the bait they won't stop.

This number is not the real number they are behind, they are spoofing.

This is an attempt at fraud by "Card Holder Services" a fake company trying to scam you out of credit card info.

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list and NEVER call them back
2.    Consider blocking the number or on a cell phone add it to a contact list and assign NO ring tone
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office
6.    Report any criminal activity to the FBI here:    https://tips.fbi.gov

The FCC has temporarily halted 9 minor boiler rooms that will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. These criminals need to be charged with FEDERAL FELONIES and subjected to significant prison time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. At the height of this telephone debacle it's been said that each call center was making 27 calls a second, which is 2.4 million calls per day.

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.

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: http://www.stopfraud.gov.  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.

Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.

EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. It is important to keep up the pressure even though nothing seems to be getting done, or else the government will just sit back and claim they are doing a good job since there are fewer complaints.
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).

Got a call this morning. I get calls everyday from these scammers. Yesterday I got one on the line and asked for their corporate address and phone number. They grunted and hung up.

I answer and pretend I'm interested and have credit card debt.  I get to an "agent" and tell them I have debt in the amount of $40,000 over 4 cards - he hangs up real quick.  I also did file a report with the FCC, obviously doesn't work, but you gotta try!  

I don't answer any calls on my cell phone if I don't know who's calling.  On occasion, to make me feel better, I do answer and press 1 to tell them I've reported them to the FCC and tell 'em to leave me the F**K alone!  I have gotten calls from at least 7 different phone numbers all for the same thing.

BE sure to report them to the national do not call list - as much info as you have is good enough

I keep getting calls from this number, no one ever answers when you request to speak to someone.  I need this number blocked

It is a recording asking if you want to lower your credit card bills. If you want to complain to the company you can't. They will not give up the name of their company and they hang up on you id you complain. If you try to call them back you get the out of order recording. This number is a scam company, obviously. The only thing you can do is keep records of how often they call you and complain to the BBB

I googled the bellsouth internet company.... it looks like it is a website that helps and assists in these fraudulent phone numbers.. it even tried to give a new number 662-720-4883.... somebody needs to shut them down... doesn't anybody try anymore?

I don't even own a credit card or house... never have.... but they are willing to lower my interest rate.... it is FRAUDLENT!!!  I wish there was a government agency that was actually interested in this kind of crap, it happens all day long and no one to report it to that might wanna listen...   uuuggghhh

662-720-4709 call back and Its a disconnected Cell number

Successful Match! We found phone number 662-720-4709 Line Type: Cell Phone Location: BOONEVILLE, MS

Phone Carrier: Bellsouth Telecomm Inc dba South Central Bell Telephone City: BOONEVILLE, MS County: Alcorn

if you want to reduce these calls you answer the phone. But, you cover up your mic or mute it and there should be no noise in the background for the computer to hear. The calls drop from 3-6 a day to one a day and eventually 1 every once in a while. The computer believes it's a dead line.

"Lower your Credit Card Interest Rate"
Yeah, right...
My a**!  They want to get your CC info and steal as much as they can before you catch on.
These people are criminals anyway, so they won't respect "Do Not Call".  And if law enforcement could get to them, it would be for far worse than violating "DNC".
I answered in a "dim grandpa" voice.  They hung up immediately.  I figure that's the best way to get on their own "Don't Bother" list...

Because they're using VOIP from abroad and faking the phone numbers. Apparently the technology isn't up to the task of shutting them down.

Repeated calls lower interest rates on cc...stated she was part of Discover...LIED im on the do not call registry, I even stated it was a childs phone ridiculous!!!! She would not give me the name of the company and hung up on me.....every week same thing. Next time I am going to answer Agent your screwe*!!!!!!!!!!

They just called me too but I didn't answer.
"Sprinter" is right if you don't know the number just, don't answer let them leave you a message.

-Rigo

My lesson to all if you don't know the # don't answer. It works for me.

There keep bothering me and everyone I know.  Why can't Do Not Call get these people to stop.  We pay a tax to run DNC.

Tired of these calls.

Recorded telemarketer advertising reduced mortgage interest rates.
