There is a call blocker. And, no I do not work for them. It costs about $50 and is available at Amazon, eBay and others. Search for "ProCallBlocker". You can block up to 1500 numbers. It is easy to use. I just blocked this number. They called and I answered the call and nothing. I usually do not answer. I Googled the number and found the site. You can block area codes, as well as other bogus Caller IDs like "Out of Area", etc. As you know the really offensive telemarketers scramble their caller IDs but you can avoid them, also. Also, they have good customer service. You email them and you will get answers in a day or two. Works for me. The Do Not Call List is a waste of time. EVERYONE on this board is on the list and here they are. The easy answer is this inexpensive gadget.
Good luck, Tom

Call from this number- 800-679-8796 - today. Caller ID lists it as "Toll Free CA" but speakerphone said "Toll Free Call" so perhaps it got cut off on the screen and doesn't mean "California'.
I answered, saying only "Hello" once and nothing more. After a few seconds of silence, a recording said "That is not a valid option" and then hung up. lol At least it's less annoying than the robocalls.
Blocking the number based on posts above. If they call again I'll report.

"Toll Free Call" from a magazine company attempting to get orders via donating to the Special Olympics. James Kennedy was on the line. I think I shall find him on the internet and annoy him back =)

These idiots have been calling me for months. One time I answered and asked them to remove my number from their list. The voice on the other end stated my number would be removed, but two weeks later, they called again. I threatened to report them to the FTC and they hung up on me. But the calls never stopped. This peaceful Saturday morning, they woke my wife...I am ready to scream!

These people will not leave me alone. They have even called my cell phone!

Harrasses me through the night and day! Do not owe anything other than mortgage and monthly utility bills!
| sandyd 2012-12-08 06:27:27 Unknown |
They call my home repeatedly. I am so tired of this!

I get calls every day, up until 8 p.m. I am on the Do Not Call List. They never leave a message. Annoying!

My phone company (Comcast) will not let me block this number. I have call block, but it says the number "isn't valid" when I try to add it to my blocked list. This number has been calling my home every day for a couple of days now. I don't answer calls I don't recognize. I really wish these people would stop. I wouldn't give them one dime even if I had millions of them to spare.

Got a call from this number today. They said it was for the Special Olympics. Then they tried to sell me a magazine subscription and told me that only 18% would go towards the Special Olympics and the rest would go to pay for the magazine and them. No way! I told them that I didn't want to donate and they kept trying to convince me into thinking it was a good deal.

Got a number from 800-679-8796. Do not waste your time with these people. They too are scammers and do not care if they harass you.. Once you start a conversation with them they will continue to call you. Tell them they are being reported.

These people are relentless. I've even answered a couple of times, to no avail! If they make connection, you better watch for additional charges on your phone bill. That's how Advanced Billing Serv. and other scum outfits work.
| Steve 2012-04-20 15:47:50 Unknown |
Called, hung up on answer machine. Am on National DNC list, should not be getting "Toll Free Calls". No one has my phone number and this is the first call ever in the 6 months I have had this number.
| Debi W 2012-02-14 22:59:00 Unknown |
Got several calls from this number. I called it back and it said it was special olympics. It gave a number to call. I call 866-544-4880 and asked to be put on their no call list. She said they would do that.... so, keeping fingers crossed it ends the calls.............

If you are registered with the National Do Not Call Registry, you can (1) file an online report / complaint with them (they may not do much about a call here, and a call there, but they notify the offenders they've been reported ans should stop and they WILL accumulate reports and when they reach a certain threshhold, they will step in with stronger sanctions); (2) if it is truly becoming "harrassment", you can report them to the FCC and let them initiate federal action {that is what eventually got those automobile warranty scammers done away with}.
Just remember, true charitable organizations are exempt from the Do Not Call restrictions so you cannot threaten them with punitive action, you just have to jump through whatever legal hoops they have and get to supervisors to have them stop calling.

I called this number from my google phone. The call was ansered by a small insurance agency in Iowa. Nice guy on the other end, and we figured out that this special olympics donation outfit has hijacked a phone line. I'm really tired of the calls, but the best way to deal with them is to not answer.

Have tried to place this number (800-679-8796) on my Call Blocked list and I still keep getting calls from these people.
| Paula 2011-06-06 20:58:16 Unknown |

Folks from this number (800-679-8796) calls daily even after advising them not to. It a harrasment. Can anyone suggest what to do ?
| Michael Haygood 2011-05-17 19:27:54 Unknown |
this number calls repeatedly
| Sangar Dowlatkhah 2011-05-13 18:43:35 Telemarketer |
This number calls and harasses daily. I have told them to remove my number for no result. They still call.

I got a call from 1-800-6798796 and told them I would send a donation to the Special Olympics but they wouldn't accept the donation unless I choose a magazine they were hawking. That make me question if they were selling Mags and if they were using the Special Olympics as a foot to get into the door.
| ernie 2011-03-24 18:43:39 Telemarketer |
This number has shown up on my caller id a few times and they don't leave a message. This is just one of the numbers I get calls from, maybe with enough complaints they can be stopped.
