This number called several times yesterday and today.  I did not answer, and they did not leave a message.

Yeah, I'm receiving the call on my SKYPE account. Funny. I dropped Verizon as my phone carrier because they couldn't stop calling me. I gave them nine months to drop me from their calling systems, but they just couldn't do it.

CALLED ME; I CALLED BACK & THE PHONE IS OFF

Same thing - literally this number has called me 20 times over the last few days. I answer, and it *rings* back. I call back, and get a Verizon message. When I call back from another number, it just rings busy.

Who the hell is this?!

this is a VOIP call from anywhere around the world, so someone calls you from far far away.

Received a call from this number, 3 times, no response, called back and got a message from Verizon.

I got a call from some schmuck with a thick indian accent calling from "3rd tier service group" saying that I could get 1500 for nothing. It was re-paid aver 6 mos with no interest. I told him I had no need for 1500 and that it didn't make sense for me to take money from him. He kept insisting that I could use it for anything, and wouldn't remove my number. I asked to speak to his boss (it sounded like there was a television on in the background) and he said he would put me on the "do not call" list. we'll see.

Total Scam.

Got a call from this number, got a lot of calls lately from sovereign bank, they don't live messages, still calling every few days sometimes several times for day

Got a call from this number - they left a message saying they were from Kings Pharmacy.  
I have not lived in Brooklyn for over 5 years, though, so thanks Kings Pharmacy!

i missed the call at 7.42pm, and checked out the number on line and found this....

I also got a call from this number, even I live in Brooklyn New York, but didn't answer it.

Irecived call at 2:12 am

2;13 am

I received a call from this number (718-313-1481). The name on the called ID says, "SOVEREIGN BANK". The automated message asked to contact them in order to reduce a credit debt.

I recieved calls from this number 3 or 4 times. The first two times i missed the call but the when i was able to pick up the third time i heard a relative from overseas, Bangladesh to be exact. It was weird actually. When someone from overseas usually calls, their number shows up but this time a us number came up. Anyways, if you call back it will give you a automated message saying its busy or not available. So if you have people calling you from overseas, this might be it.

Do not call list is apparently defunct. At least for out-of-country origins. We are trying to figure out what to do, exactly. Sometimes they come on the cell phone, too.

The only real answer is to only have phone numbers you already know be permitted through your filter, and new numbers attempting to reach you must leave messages. Then you only call back the real ones.

dude u seem really stressed with this... do not reply this posting or THEY will know.. u know who i'm talking about...

but i did get a call from this number! cheers

Last call from this number at 9PM on Sunday night. Calls once a week or so, always after 8PM. I didn't answer, turned phone on and off to disconnect before VM picked up. Called number back several times @ different times of the day. Always get "we sorry, all circuits are busy at this time, please try you call again later." This indicates it's a dial-around robo call.

first call from  718-313-1481  left no message
whatever happened to the do not call list?

This is a new number to add to the collection. These are robo generated, and the identifying numbers change all the time. There's no point in trying to call the number back, it doesn't really exist.
They come from outside the US so the DNC list is useless.

Your name and number was sold, by some entity you did business with at some point. A black/illicit market entity now has this and probably more about you. Call/write your phone co/provider, congresspersons and senators and demand they do something. This can be stopped, our government has the ability to listen and track every call and email that comes in and out of the US. It's allowing the it citizens to be harassed.

The calls won't stop, they'll escalate. Do not voice answer the phone, or let your VM answer. This only confirms that the line in "alive".  Try and press the phone on and hang up immediately. This lessens the frequency of calls. I put a fax screech on my VM on that seemed to have worked for a while, until today.
I have been getting calls for over 2 years from various numbers.

The final option is to change your number, and the phone companies/providers should do this for free.
