this number keeps calling. leaves no message - and there is no do not call. on call back there is an answering machine...

very suspicious, and frustrating.

I got call from this number tried to call back just whent to a busy signal . Annoying .

They just started calling my cell. I saved as "Do not answer" and gave it a silent ring tone. They can call as much as they want!

How can I stop these types of calls?  Everyday it's a different number with same results...no message

i got a call from this number at 9 in the morning. I answered it and was promised a $200 walmart gift card for $1. I listened to all the information. And by the end of the call the gift card was no long being talked about. He was talking about consumer discoung network. I wrote down all the information and gave a fake card number.Just to see if they would be calling back.

Received a call from 800-873-1652 and a heavily accented Indian voice told me I was receiving two $100 Wal-mart gift/rebate cards for having completed a survey about my shopping experience at Wal-mart. I had completed a Wal-mart survey where they would randomly select someone to receive a rebate card, so I kept listening, until they claimed they needed me to provide them a $1 "processing fee" for my rebate cards to be mailed to me. A call to Wal-mart's customer service line revealed that if you have completed a survey and are selected as a winner of a real rebate card, Walmart will contact you via certified letter. The "Consumer Discount Network" the Indian caller referred to is yet another scam. I filed a complaint online at the FTC's website.

I just received a call today from this number. It was a Indian man to with a very strong accent. I could braely understand him until i heard soemthing about winnipeg 2-$100 wal-mart gifts cards. I was goign along with it until he asked for my address which i replied'i don't feel comfortable giving that out' he then asked if i live in canada, i said 'yes' then he hung up. Geese these people go get a REAL JOB!!

Got a call claiming I had $200 worth of grocery coupons and gift cards for free because of the products I had bought in the previous year.  The person had a heavy indian accent.   Into the call, he asked for $3.90 to cover shipping and handling costs.   I said no thanks ...he continued to ask for $3.90 , I just hung up.

It's amazing to read about these "people from India and people offering gift cards".  They are writing that so you will answer the phone and tell them to stop calling you.  

HOWEVER... Those "reviews" were written by debt collectors.   DO NOT ANSWER.  No one from that number is selling anything, they are trying to collect debt.  And they know that most people will google search the phone number, so they post things about it just being a company offering something in hopes you will read that, and answer to tell them to stop calling.   IT'S NOT.  Be warned.

I just got a call from this same number you all reported at 9:00am this morning, as soon as I heard the "India" accent, I answered the call as a business name and asked "how can I direct your call" they hung up. So, I wrote the number down that showed up on my caller-id. I called back the number, it just kept on ringing with no answer. So scumbag. Why don't those people from India go back to their country and get their people to buy their scam.

this call came to my cell phone.  My cell is for family emergencies not from strangers.  What's with these people.  They need to stop this foolishness.  Only the phone number was displayed; no company name

Some dude called me from this number on my cell and was like "hellooO,helloooo..."all up my ear and then hung up! I called back n went straight to the answering machine. How rude! How did he get my number?

No, they are just scammers looking for your info. I received this exact number in an email requesting my credit info after I responded to a job ad through Craigslist. They are looking for your personal info in order to scam you. See details below in full posting.

got this call at 10:08pm which is after 9:00pm which means they are breaking the law!!!  It only rang two times and when I tried to answer there was no one on the line.  I called back but all I get is busy.

I applied to an Administrative Assistant posting on Craigslist. I received a response of the following....

I responded via email to a Craigslist job posting regarding employment.
Here is the link to the Craigslist posting:

I was emailed back with a spam link for a "credit check" and signature lines read: Neal Wilder, HR Manager                1-800-873-1652         1-800-873-1652

I phoned the number from work (well-known hi-tech company with switchboards) and asked to speak with Neal Wilder as I was returning his call. The person who answered the phone was an adult male with a moderately thick Indian/Middle Eastern accent. He kept asking where I got the number from and told me I had the wrong number, then hung up on me. I called back and it went to voicemail with no identifying message.
So, everyone- be VERY CAREFUL when answering online ads for ANYTHING. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS verify any information, especially when there is personal information being asked for!!

Received call from 1-800-873-1652 today, 10 am, from a women I thought, until she said her name was Steve.  This person also had an accent.  She identified her company as American Auto Marketing Co.  In order to receive $200.00 for gas vouchers I must call 1-800-873-1652 to pay $3.90 for S&H.  I had to use my same Visa card that I had been purchasing gas with.  When I started to ask questions, she/he became angry when I said I would check the internet.  I hung up.

Just got a call saying it was a debt collection service.   The guy barely spoke English.

I received a call from this number. I answered and it was a woman with a very thick accent. She was trying to sell me $200 worth of gas vouchers that could be used at any station. I asked for her to elaborate a little more since I could barely understand her and she just repeated herself and was actually kind of rude. I told her "no thanks" and she hung up without another word.

Got the same call offering a target gift card w/ a $5 fee for the "handling of such an expensive gift".  Also, said it was for always paying my cell phone bill on time.  Definitely had a thick indian accent.

They called me asked for Credit Card info, proceded to ask them for their address, they kept changing the subject. Reported them to the FTC please do the same if you encounter them, you can report them at this number
1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357)

So he did, and bs'd him just to hear everything and he was very persistent and said he had our card number just need us to verify the expiration date. Very indian accent, said that it's from our banks rewards. He kept going on and on and got very rude! DO NOT DO THIS. The guy told us it was American Auto, 18008731652(call id #) everyone on here has said different company names.

ALERT!!!!!!
Just name the caller in your cell contacts when they call as "do not answer" and assign it a silent ring. Everytime you are picking up that phone, your'e showing activity and they WILL call back. They can call all they want and you'll never be bothered if you dont know.
You guys are giving yourselves a bunch of grief. The calls will NOT stop.

Called me in Washington, DC at 8:30 am.  No message.  Tried to call back.  The ringing on the far end was definitely not on an American telephone.
