left no message on machine.

call came in while i was on dialup on computor...so noticed it had come in yesterday...concern is about accessing my computor through line

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS # AND LEFT NOT MESSAGE, PLEASE GET IT MY "DO NOT CALL LIST"  THANKS

Wanted to give me lower credit rating on my card - said my card company told me to call them (LIE) i hung up, woman called from 417-675-3944 and was vulgar and abusive.  I filed a complaint with the FCC.  I encourage any who get such calls to file such a complaint.  just search for FCC and go to the complaint form

Just got a call from this number, hit the button to talk to a person and tell them to take me off the call list.  The guy said it would cost me 5 bucks and some change, when I laughed at him and told him they should pay for that he asked why.  I replyed saying he called me, I hung up on him in the middle of him cussing me out.

I got a call from this number.  I pressed 9 to get more details (knowing it was a scam).  When a woman answered I asked what company it was and she immediately put the phone down.  I will just block the number.

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt associated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St/Congress/Big Oil/Big Bankers/Big Business/Military/Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission.

Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence against them if it came to a lawsuit. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action against you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with something like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."

Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. ?John Doe? not ?Jonathon Q. Doe? or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen identity, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence against them should they pursue legal action against you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action against you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency. Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, and other flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.

Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and day of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like
800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.

Same here.  Got a call this afternoon with nothing but silence in the message.

I have been called from this number (667-000-1285) two to three times a day for the past week.  I do not answer.  I am on the "No Call" list  ???

I am a receptionist and this number calls at least once a week to our office. Every time they call I tell them to place our number on the Do Not Call list and they still call. They hang up on me every time, even though I am more than polite. It is beyond frustrating.

Watching my parents house while they were out. Checked the messages for them, and this number called them 5 times in a row, left no voice mail. All within just a few mminutes of each other.
I tried to call the number, and was told it could not be completed as dialed.
My folks are on the no call list also.

I never answer calls with "000" as the middle digits.  I just picked up the received, waited a couple seconds and replaced it.

Same as the others. It's a scam. Beware. Hang up immediately.

Robo call to both of our home lines at the same time.  Offering new credit card with better rate than our current -- even though they had no clue what our current is.  Since I'm on the no-call list, isn't this illegal?

robo call, no info about company, when I reached a woman she was rude, hung up when I asked her what it was, no way to call back
