Calls showing on your phone from the following area codes and numbers are known to be Scammers:  713-931-1792, 713-893-1051 210-401-3930, 979-639-7900, 779-400-0010 and 817-400-1316.  The false names used have been Justin Park, Steve J. Brown, Erick Johnson, Don Parker, James Parker, Justin Parker and Scott Thomas.  They use many e-mails including valoanstexas@aol.com. All of these individuals have committed company identify theft against a Federal Credit Union and are scammers.

Consumers targeted by the scam typically are looking for a payday or short term loan and search the Internet for assistance.  They voluntarily place their personal information on these independent sites (not recommended) and then receive an email or phone call from one of the aliases above or some fake e-mail address indicating that the potential victim has been approved for a short term loan that is affiliated with the above named companies.  They may include a non- authorized logo and wording in the e-mail, but no direct hyperlink to a legitimate site.  Consumers who respond by telephone to the offer are then told that in order to receive the loan, they have to pay for either an upfront fee, taxes owed, processing fee, etc., in the form of a MoneyPak or Pre-paid credit card including Vanilla Network cards.  We advise against paying any upfront fees.  

According to them, President Obama has told them to call me to get me a better mortgage rate... HAHAHAHAHA

you can thank  OCWEN LOAN  for these calls they give all your # registered on loan doc to their affilate to Offer us great products you have to OPT OUT  goodluck

There is no way to get a hold of a person.  If you call the number its an automated message.  I had opted for #2 which is to be removed from the mailing list, however I am suspecting that is is to confirm the number is working.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM and LIARS. Recording saying "don't hang up "there have been robberies  in your neighborhood". These thieves know nothing about my neighborhood.  To the people that write in these blogs "I am on the do not call list", Get a life. Scammers DO NOT care about a do not call list, just as bank robbers don't worry about your money beng safe in the bank.

Never EVER press "2" to have your number taken off the list. They are only doing this to verify that their robo-dialer has indeed hit a legitimate number. If you request to be taken off their list, you are in fact only going to quadruple the illegal calls you receive.

The DNC doesn't apply to these people... because they're criminals. It's like wondering why a burglar is ignoring trespassing laws.

Best thing to do is ignore, send calls to silent, try not to get too aggravated... and wish these scumbags a slow, painful death.

I recd four calls in the last two days. The 2nd call I asked the girl to be taken OFF THE LIST. She hung up on me!    Today I recd two calls  at 11:40am  and 11:41am.
They start by sales "you have been selected for either a sales call or survey call. "
This one was for the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) for a national immunization survey on the use of cel phones.  
THE DO NOT CALL REGISTRY DOES NOT WORK!

Wanted to sell me a home security system.  I listened to the message and selected the option to have my name removed from the list, and have done so several times, with no success, they keep calling, from different numbers.

Keeps calling, trying to sell security system

Call received in Ohio. Houston, Texas area code. No message left. We did not answer the call.

Call received from this number even though number on national no-call list

I received 2 calls from this number. I believe they pass my number around. I have the same robo anouncments from other numbers. They are trying to sell a home security system. Said I should dial1 to talke to a live operator, or dial 9 to be taken off their phone list. After the anouncment I told them I don't have to dial anything, because I am on the "Do Not Call List"... and I will be reporting this number to that link.

Caller (computer) says "don't hang up  there have been robberies  in your neighborhood".  Then they proceed to ask if you're interested in some kind of alarm system. press 1 for yes 2 for no

They are calling me.  Glad the ones before me had posted, so I would know who these ppl are.  Love this site.

have had several calls from this Nimber (713) 893-4872,  the do not call thing dont work,  and call block dont accept this on this number... I wish they would stop and leave people alone

It says the samething when it calls me and I want it stopped now.

Had a call from 713-893-4872 this morning. Just says UNKNOWN NAME.

Easy fix, buy a phone with " block number" feature. Then when they call  just block them from doing it again..

Scammers couldn't care less about the Do Not Call registry.  Reporting them does not keep them away either.  I just let calls go to voicemail.  Most won't leave a message.  After awhile they stop calling and then someone else starts calling.  My attitude is that MY phone is for MY convenience, not theirs.

The Do Not Call Registry is a joke.  I have been on the registry since it started and I am still getting calls, many from numbers I have reported numerous times.  Just another bureaucratic program with no teeth.

Thought if you were on the no call registry you wouldn't be getting these calls.

Called back - it says, "you have been contacted for marketing research, or a sales call."

This number without a name on caller ID calls 5 to 10 times a day, everyday. No message ever appears on the answering machine. I will never pick up the phone for such calls. The ringer is off, so it really does not bother me.

Has called several times this week. I won't turn my recorder on because I don't want to. No name shows up just the number.
