Since your posting, I've received 4 of the same call.  Infuriating.

phone rings once or twice....pick up and call er hangs up.

the best way to stop it is tell them yes i would like to make an appointment to talk to someone  and don't answer the door when  they come or do like i did, answer the door and tell them if they keep calling and wasting my time then i will be setting up fake appointments around town when they call. they have since stopped since the rep went back and told of his journey.

Caller claimed that someone from our number had called him earlier in the day and cursed him out for being an Obama supporter.  He then began to speak gibberish and scream into the phone.  Very strange call.

The same bunch called me tonight (10-28)My wife asked them about VA Medical showing up on caller ID. They told her in a VERY HEAVY Indian accent, "they haven't gotten around to changing that yet." Has anyone reported this to the F.C.C. yet? I'm ticked off enough to report it now.

Oh, by the way, here is the real phone number to one of the service providers that sells this service which calls our phone numbers. (866) 514-9890. You can bug them directly if you wish.

I have received numerous calls, too.  I run a marketing business and have learned of services that will do the following, which I believe is this service all have heard from.  You can hire them to use a phone number list to auto dial thousands of calls. (We are on this list, thanks to Experiean and the other credit bureaus who sell our name to them.)  These are typically automated messages which allow you to "press through" if you are interested in the service being offered.  The company selling the service "brokers" it out to the agency paying for it, ie., a home improvement company, mortgage person, etc.  The broker hides behind the fake number as he can choose what goes on the caller id. In this case, 706-823-2215. The number goes no where when called back and thereby allows them to fly under the radar of do not call list rules.  It is a tricky way to telemarket and the subcontracting companies using the services do not have to get a SAN number, required by the government if they legitimately telemarket.  There is your answer to the mystery.

the same thing as the balance of the posts are happing to me also

Hector from Four Seasons Sunrooms called ON my cellphone. He mentioned he will be on my block giving a free consultation this week (it's Thursday evening and he is calling from Georgia 2000 miles away) and wanted to see if we were interested in discussing a sunroom addition. I politely told him we weren't making any additions to our home and he immediately hung up. What a jerk! How long does it take to say "thanks anyway" about 1 second. Like he needs to save that much time. Well maybe he does because it sounded like he was working out of a boiler room and maybe he needed to pay for his seat.?

I received this call 6 times on 10/13/08. I didn't answer, but if that call was traced to georgia then why are minnesotans getting the calls? How did they get our numbers? Is this a random thing or a thief thing? I'd like to get to the bottom of it because it's bugging me just like it's bugging the rest of you!

I have received numerous calls from this number.  I am getting very irritated by this since I assume it relates to a relative.  Has this been reported to state agencies?

I also received a call from this number, but no one answers when you pickup. Both my spouse and I are veterans, and I also thought it was from the VA Admin. Damn I hate telemarketers.

I received a call about having a free consultation done for a new sun room with a 33% discount if I decide to have a sunroom done.  I explained to the lady that the calls are unacceptable and need to stop.  Now I just receive calls from them and they hang up once I answer the phone.  I'm not sure how I got the number but I do have a resume posted online which is real crap if telemarketers are able to get your number off a resume online.  Also pretty sad that telemarketers are calling people looking for work.

thank you. My parents use VA Medical Centers. I was afraid it was some emergency. Nobody answered when I called back.

I JUST RECIEVED A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER.  THE CALLER ID SAID VA MEDICAL CENTER.  I ANSWERED BECAUSE BOTH MY BROTHER AND MY FATHER USE THE VA MEDICAL CENTERS FOR HEALTH CARE.  WHEN I ANSWERED IT WAS A YOUNG LADY SAYING THAT THEY WOULD BE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THIS WEEK AND WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A TIME TO COME TO MY HOME FOR A "FREE DESIGN CONSULTATION".  WHEN I SAID, "NO THANK YOU," SHE WAS RUDE THEN HUNG UP.  OBVIOUSLY THIS IS SOME KIND OF SCAM AND I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE THAT THEY ARE USING THIS VA NUMBER TO TRICK PEOPLE.

Just wondering if anyone else that has received a call from this number has been looking for work and has a resume posted online? This is just a thought since I have been looking for work and my phone number is out there.

I've received two calls from this number. Thank you Matt for the information. They are very bored and probably just pissed off that they have to "work" on weekends. If anyone finds out who these idiots really are please post the information on this site. Has anyone taken the time to call the number back? I'm not wasting my time and going to enjoy my weekend.

I too received numerous calls. I finally picked up and some girl addressed me with my correct last name, stuttered and started laughing. I could hear many people in the background laughing also, what the heck kind of a party is this??? I guess I took the bait by answering, asuming it was the VA calling.

Caller is traced to Augusta, Georgia. The caller ID showed "VA Medical Cen" but I seriously doubt that's who was calling. A female stated something indistinguishable. I asked her to repeat what she said. She repeated something indistinguishable and said something about being in my neighborhood and could someone stop by for a no-obligation visit. I have no idea what the phone call was about but was curious about the caller ID information since I'm a veteran.

I got a call yesterday evening and again tonight. I don't answer calls I don't recognize. They're idiots.

this person has called me like 10 times just today!

I received 2 phone calls, 1-hang up and 1- offer for a sunroom. I was told that they would be in my neighborhood and wanted to stop by. I told her I was not interested and she hung up on me. I don't like the fact that these alls are made to people with some type of Veterans Affairs connection. This may constitute a privacy breach. I am a VA Supervisor and disabled vet and I think everyone should report this information to the U.S. Department Of Veterans Affairs,OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL at the follwing website:

http://www.va.gov/oig/

I am going to submit a complaint today because I don't like this at all. WHat happens if they contact an elderly veteran and take advantage of them. Please submit your complaints and protect the veterans who may not be able to protect themselves.

An offer for Four Seasons Sunroom consultation. Caller id was VA Medical Center 706-823-2215. He asked me to just say yes and I wouldn't even have to answer the door. Made me wonder if it was a psych patient!

Does anyone have an address for this company? Threatening phone calls is a federal offense carrying upto a $10,000 fine.

Caller calls up for a home improvement company. I did not catch the name but when I asked where the company was located he said New York. When I asked for where in NY the caller said Long Island. I asked what address he was calling from and that is when he got nasty. He said obviously I was not interested and that he makes $10 an hour and even threatened to come to my house.

I answered it and they are a construction firm looking for work!! Caller ID says its VA Medical Center. A little fraudulent, I would say!

Received this call on my ID.  Did not answer call.  Apparently did not want call.

Same deal.  They've called 4 times and everytime i answer they hang up. I even went as far as calling the number back. Let it ring 15 times and nobody answered.  Strange!
