They called me too! But once I actually gave the guy the time of day, he was actually a pretty nice guy. I gave him some basic info, the most personal was my birthday, (which by the way, is completely useless in the identity theft world. I work in law enforcement and if someone only needed a birthday to steal your identity they'd work at a bar or gas station, not a telemarketer.) so I took exactly 1 min 4 seconds out of my day and received a free no strings attached quote and it was actually a lot lower than my current rates! I didn't switch though, I ended up showing it to my long term insurance agent and he actually matched the price! I saved $982 a year from that 1 min phone call. And guess what?! DIDNT HEAR FROM THEM EVER AGAIN!

Your the idiot. Our number proxies itself now.... look forward to calling you!

No you are ok. We do not steel your identity lol... all of the info gathered goes directly to the agent we are working with at the time. No worries. Good luck on your quote!

3131 fernbroke lane, Plymouth, mn.... come on in.

I am a caller for tri.... but I don't lie. Some people do, but I was raised better. I understand my job is an annoyance, but I'm a college kid that needs the money. I'm sorry some of my co-workers are rude. However your date of birth is not personal. Its considered public info ( on your id) we would never ask for private info.

I got a call on my home phone from 753-351-9887 at around 6:45 PM EST. Right away he said he was calling on behalf of Allstate trying to give quotes for car insurance. I answered basic questions regarding past accidents, car make/model, whether I drive it to work, etc. I told him my first name, but no other personal information beyond that. He didn't ask for a home address or anything. He did ask how much I paid for my current insurance to which I did not respond. At the end he said he'd call back after a few days to give some quotes. I thought something was fishy cause of the different area code that appeared on my caller ID (I'm in 301). Plus, I already have several local Allstate agents. Why would I trust someone from another state who cold calls at night?

Omg! This number just called said they were from allstate and there gona give me a quote...I didmt think about it till now and gave them my information. ...are the gonna like steal my identity or something??? Should I do something

I finally called back, and found out its the telemarketing company TRI. You can reach them toll free to be removed at this number: (800) 255-2717. Caller: TRI.

calling repeadedly. called back. picked up. no answer. an idea on how to stop these calls? and who are they?

Idiot insurance shysters

They just called for the 2nd time today. But the 2nd call showed both 763-519-8887 + a spoofed area code number
415-692-7057 trying to fool us.

Didn't work. That number is now blocked too.

IDIOTS!

IDENTITY THEFT SCAM!  The young man calling from this number, presented himself as an Allstate Insurance agent.  He requested personal information concerning the make and model of my car(s), and whether or not I had any traffic tickets or accidents in the last three years.  When he asked for my date of birth, I said that I would not give him that information.  He abruptly disconnected the call.  This rude behavior is indicative of someone who may be actively engaged in a criminal enterprise.

Idiots called my EXTENSION at work, which proves they are just bot-dialing. Waiting to see how many of my 43 co-workers get the same call...

Years ago these calls were annoying but today you never know what this was all about our government is so uncertain now days you don't know what they are fishing for???  To fine new ways to tax or what?

Don't bet on it.  I've been on the Do Not Call list for years and have reupped a few times (last time was Nov 2012) and I'm still getting unwanted phone calls.  These scammers don't care about the DNC.

Here is the page that details all of the places that InfoUSA can collect your data from.  I called their customer service #, talked to a manager and he agreed to remove my information from their databases (Yes.. plural).  Not only did the number of spam phone calls drop off significantly, but the amount of actual junk mail in my mailbox dropped off.  Don't let them jerk you around and tell you that you consented to have your data used.. be persistent and don't let them off the phone until they agree to remove you from the databases.  Then, just to be sure, send a certified letter with receipt service, to their address asking to be removed.  It's a bit of a pain in the a**.. but it works.

I blocked 763-519-8887 previously last year and unintentionally removed from my reject list; the result is I got a call today from them.  The problem is you Americans allow your government to run your lives and tell you what to do just like Russia.  It should be reverse; you should run the government and tell them how to live.  The government do not call listing is the biggest sucker pleasing [pleasing the gullible masses] game anyone could create.  The do not call list doesn't work and the punishment and penalty for telemarketers is trivial.  Privacy in America is a lost freedom, and now with a runaway government anarchy has reached the corporate level unabated. There should be a plethora of law suits against these companies that use your paid air time in which they not pay you for or reimburse you.  Unfortunately your government [congresspeople] is helping telemarketers instead of helping you the private citizen.  As America becomes a legitimate socialist nation, individual freedoms vanish before your eyes.  The government do not call listing is just another extension of the telemarketing industry. Guess who provides telemarketers your phone number other than TMobile, Verizon, ATT and Sprint?; the U.S. Gov't Do Not Call Listing.

my machine answers all calls - 'nuff said.

I got a suspicious call from someone posing as someone from a local web company looking to interview me on a recent training I received - I played along and he was concerned when I asked the name of his company and thought I was looking it up-not sure who he was telemarketing for the training co. or their competitors.

Just got the call from TRI. Hello, hello. No one answer.

They called my house 2 nights ago, and as soon as I answered they hung up.

I dont like these calls either but when drinking i play games with them and try and sell them a fake auto insurance while they try and sell me random fake insurances it pisses them off something feirce

I got a call from this number claiming to be AllState Insurance.  They just wanted to send me a quote.  

In PA it is against the law for insurance companies to attempt to solicit potential customers. I stated this and he said, "And when did you get your law degree?"

I said "take me off your list" and hung up.

I give them all my credit card and bank routing info. What else is a poor immigrant to do?

TRI on the caller ID....they have poopy pants

Interesting that so many of these posts say this is about insurance. I wasn't home when the call came, and there was a recorded message on my answering machine encouraging me to call because they had permission from my credit card company to call and offer me a lower interest rate. Caller ID said Plymouth  MN.

This number hangs up immediately after "hello."   I do still get lots of telemarketing as well as collection calls looking for people who had my number 3 to 5 years ago.  None of these outfits ever removes the number from the list, even when they promise to do so; they just sell the list on to their next victim and continue to call and hang up.

I have an interview there today. They are a lead generating company for insurance companies. U call and see if ppl would like info from insurance companies if so we give ur info to the insurance company. They do make commission after training tho

Call from TRI, No one would answer me when I picked up the call.
I called it back and got a voicemail, called their number 800-255-2717, the lady was super nice and said they were a marketing company and would gladly remove our number. She was very pleasant and appologized that we had to call back.
www.trytri.com is their website.

Calls multiple times just about every day and never leaves a message
