It is a Trade Publication wanting to renew your subscription

Caller ID said it was from Bismarck, ND.  Caller identified herself as Lily.  Was wanting to verify information on a magazine subscription or so she said.  When I asked for the physical address of the magazine so I could contact it directly, she did not have it and told me she was in Jamaica.  

I get a variant of this call almost every day and they always hang up with a 2 second dead-air message. Our switchboard at work puts these through although they do not identify themselves or ask for me personally. My work number is not listed outside of the company directory. Some snake-charmer somewhere must get paid for every completed call he makes even if he hangs up after 2 seconds.

I get this at work, or a variation of it almost every day. Our receptionist puts them through to my phone but claims she never does. But it shows up as a forward from the operator, which is the receptionist. I'll start a log of these calls to see if some are the same.

I looked it up and the pattern is constant with "abandoned call" or "dead air call". It just blows me away that someone makes the effort to call and hangs up, unless they get paid on how many completed calls they make. Lazy fuc%s.

I've been getting calls from 7015579150 every 1/2 hour over the past two days.

I get calls from this number many times a day - maybe 10 or more.  Sometimes getting called every 15-30 minutes!  I have logged complaints.  It would be best if more people logged complaints - the more the better and maybe they will do something about it.  Although if they are located in another country, the US may not be able to.  

Now this number (claiming to be North Dakota - obviously spoofed) calls, rings twice and stops.  When I log the complaints, I say it's harassing and threatening since to me calling every 15 minutes and hanging up is threatening.  

You can't call back as they've got it set up to either get a busy signal or you get a recording saying the number cannot go through as dialed bla bla bla.

Please remove my number

shut up already - NOW!

"Alicia" from "Control Engineering Magazine" calling for company President. Placed on hold until she hung up (1 1/2 minutes).

Please remove me from this magazine call list. I haveasked more than once for this to happen and still get these annoying calls.  

My office literally gets 10-12 phone calls from this phone number A DAY!
I have reached my breaking point.  I don't even say anything when I pick up the phone anymore.  I spend countless hours thinking about what I would say to the person (if it is an actual human being) if they ever said anything on the other line.  Maybe it is my soul mate who resides in the state of North Dakota and is scared to say anything when they hear my voice on the other line.  All I hope is maybe, just maybe, one day I can find out who is on the other end of the line.

glad that I didn't answer. no message anyway. caller ID "North Dakota"

What, is my number stick in their BUTT dial button?  Same MO, they let ph ring twice and hang up.
Dweebs, Goat Humpers, Sodomites

Most annoying, when you answer they hang up...

I get these calls on my work phone so I am unable to block them. caller ID says North Dakota - 701-557-9150.  I would really like them to stop.  i don't answer anymore.  This has gone on for several months.

black ops!
:)

Several calls from this number.
For all those that seem to think the government can do something about this, they are correct.  
Your elected officials are the people that put into place the methods and laws that allow it.  They create toothless 'do not call' lists so the people will think they are doing something about it  all while the carriers write the laws saying they don't have to block calls and they can allow spoofing of locations all behind the scenes. They don't want to lose the businesses of the scammers. Money is money. No such thing as 'dirty' money.
Would you answer a call from Jamcia? Of course not. They are willfully allowed to fake the location so you will answer.
They are willfully allowed for prevent you from blocking numbers so the scammer has a reason to keep calling and the carrier gets more money.
The scammers gets what they want, the carriers get business and money, and then the politicians get campaign contributions from the carriers to write the laws to protect them.
Circle of american life. Everybody wins but you.

Idiots keep calling me. I can't answer my phone during show days. I send them to vm and they don't leave any. Annoying as hell. Carriers  don't offer an option to block calls. An since it was not threatening can't have po po's track them. Carriers should do something about it, but they won't because get to make money from it. Because most likely they sold your number to them or a list manager somewhere. Something to think about. The FCC, carriers and politicains are all in the same bed together

?

Annoying Indian people always wanna be selling their subscriptions.  

Got a call from 701-557-9150 - they hung up when I answered.  Called back and got music

Seems they have a series of 701-557 numbers. I keep adding them to my block list. 701-557-9264 has been blocked 7 times in the last week.

Called 7 times today trying to sell American Salon. An excellent magazine, but they have a salon of 12 women pissed as hell for all the harassment today.

Called our business, but I was on another call that I could not place on hold. I made a note of the number and checked here before I called back. Glad I checked and I won't be calling them back. Nothing is "free", especially if it's coming from some off shore company. This number goes on the do not answer list now.....

Caller ID was "NORTH DAKOTA."  Presumed telemarketer.

Why do we have a do not call law? onky location in caller id with telephone number.

FCC does squat about these calls. I've been using their complaint reports for years and nothing!

Call from 701-557-9150 when I answer the phone beeps and I hang up. They have called work phone twice today. Need it stopped

Thanks to everyone who posted information, truly helpful in avoiding these types of calls.
