The Phase "Are you honest in dealings with your fellow man?" suggests not calling phone numbers listed in the Do Not Call Registry.

Just got a call from 801-285-5156 from a woman who barely spoke English.  When I answered the phone she said, "Hello Maria, you won a home security system."  I told her my name wasn't Maria and that I already had a security system and she said, "Maria, why are you lying to me??"  Really lady??? I then asked her to remove my number from her calling list and she kept talking over me asking me why I was lying?????  She then hung up on me!!!

Have no idea what the man's name was, he spoke with a very heavy accent, possibly Indian or Asian. Told me I had won a $1200.00 home security set. I told him I already had one and I wanted him to put me on his no-call list. He gave a drawn out Oooo-k then I told him that he was violating the law as I was already on the Nationwide No-Call list. He responded "Complain to Barak Obama" and hung up. What a bunch of jerks these people are. I have already filled complaints with the FTC, the FCC and the FBI. About all I got in response from all of these crack agencies is that they have forwarded my complaint to the state and local police agencies. These jerks are even bigger jerks. Wait until they start calling some congress criter or senators wife at home. Then we will see action and it will be all over the news. What a country.

This # has called me multiple times and keep asking for the same person. I tell them they have the wrong # and ask to speak to a supervisor to tell them to Not Call, but they hang up before I can do so.

Guy called. Indian accent. Kid playing in background. I hung up.

So "John" from Federal Financial called.  He started the conversation by pronouncing my name wrong (it's not a hard name).  Then he proceeded to widh me a good evening (it's 10am here).  Upon questioning him about the strange discrepancy, he told me that AMERICANS have a hard time with his "British" accent.  I suggested he might want to stop calling Americans, if it's such a problem.

Well, obviously Larry Sheffield at IMS is also a liar.  I got another call from their telemarketers today - fourth time now.  Agent's name was Brian and manager's name was Prince.  I called back and this time spoke to Teresa at extension 211.  Larry was out of town for the week.  She assured me today that they would take action.  But I do not believe her.  I am leaving plenty of abusive messages on Mr. Sheffield's extension.  Hope he enjoys it.

Lucky me, I also won a FREE GE Security system...  They have called several times (as Federal Financial)  He also said they are exempt from do no call because it's free...  Except that I have to pay a monthly fee...

Reported them

Well, these same folks called me the day after the above incident, and another time today.  On both times since my first request, I requested my phone number to be removed from their internal call list.  After every one of the calls, I also called back the number on my caller ID and left a message requesting removal from their list.  Yesterday's message indicated that if they called me a third time, they would have a very strong response from me.

I filed two additional complaints with the FCC, the second and third time noting (correctly) that I had repeatedly requested that my phone numbers were removed.

They ARE selling something - the monthly monitoring of the security systems.  So this IS a violation of the Do Not Call List.

After today's call (and filing my third FCC complaint), I kept repeatingly calling back the phone number with a string of frankly abusing messages.  I figured out that you can skip the message and go into a real voice mailbox by pressing 132.  The first time, which interrupts the phone call, says it doesn't understand, but it requests an extension number.  So call that number.  After leaving another 10 messages on THAT extension, someone finally picked up and directed me to the manager.

I spoke with Larry Sheffield, who is a real manager (not a call center manager).  He was upset at my experience and told me that he had hired a contract telemarketing firm to do thee calls, and that they had claimed that they checked all phone numbers against the FCC list.  They were ALSO supposed to update their internal lists.  They did not and Larry said that 'heads will roll'.

Be sure to get the manager's names if they call, then clal back and use that extension to speak directly to Mr. Sheffield.  And, report every violation with the FCC.  It's going to cost IMS aka Federal Financial Group aka Secutiry Networks plenty once we get enough complaints filed.

Someone from this number called saying that we had won a G Security system worth $1,200 and wanted more information from me.  I asked to speak to their manager, who claimed that they were not selling anything and so were exempt from the Do Not Call list.  Refused to provide an address for his company, and when I said, "and you want to present yourself as a reputable company" he hung up.  Reported to FCC as a violation of the Do Not Call list.

When i called the number they called from was identified on phone message as IMS, a financial services company.

Scam! Hang Up on them

they are scam company from india. try to sell junk services.

This is a scam to learn about your business and family. The scratch off token never arrived.

This is a scam to learn more about your business. The scratch off token never arrived.

Also got a call from Mia Clark from Federal Financial claiming that I won a Ford Explorer, some cash and a trip. Before she could finish I told her to immediately remove my number from their list and never call back. How gullible do they think people are?

Same spiel as above... calling businesses and willing to talk to any manager.. called me Miss Manager.  
When I told "John" I wasn't interested, he hung up on me.

It is weird. I get a call from them every other day, and it is always preceeded or followed by the number (832)518-4813. Both numbers call annd sit there....then hang up. I work for a church, so they must know that we are broke....haha

Got a call to my business, when I answered they just hang up.

Call from Federal Financial Group. Explaining they will be sending me a scratch ticket with a guarantee win of a Ford Focus.  What a sham.  I allmost want to listen to the whole message.  This is hilarious. Anyone gullible enough to fall for these things deserves to lose all their money.  No victims only volunteers.

Got a call from this number today at work. They told me we were selected to win a scratch and win ford focus or something. The guy who called had a middle eastern accent, so I asked him repeat himself. He started to, giggled, and hung up on me. I called the number back and it goes straight to a voicemail. Definitely a bogus number!

RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER WHICK IS TO MY BUSINESS AND THE PERSON WAS TRYING THE SENT ME A SCRATCH OFF CARD AND i COULD WIN ANYTHING FROM 2500.00 TO A NEW CAR WHICH IS B.S. ! I HAVE CUSTOMERS COMING IN ALL THE TIME AND HAD A COUPLE IN FRONT OF ME AND THIS PERSON WOULD NOT LET ME GO SO I HUNG UP ON HIM. ABOUT A HOUR LATER HE CALLED BACK SAW THE NUMBER ON THE CALLER ID AND LET IT GO TO VOICE MAIL. WHO ARE THEY AND HOW DID THEY GET MY NUMBER.

Our Company got a call from John. He told us we could win a Ford Explorer. WE ARE A NISSAN DEALERSHIP! Why would we want an Explorer? I told him he was wasting my time and hung up.

same thing, just got a call from this number. he know where i work, phone number, address  and even he know what's my job title is. scary....

These guys have called all day - we are a dealership - they have obviously gone onto our website because they ask for all of the sales people by name and try to suck them into their slimy scam. Just hang up on these camel jockey rag heads... they are crooks that are fishing for the dumbest one in your bunch and they won't stop calling until they get them!!! (and we all have one in the group...)

Same thing here.....  I LOVE GOOGLE... Scam averted.

Someone from India, or some other language who has such
a think accent you could stir it with a spoon, wants to send
a scratch off card...  yeah right, told this jerk to get lost!
Why does out ph number get calls when were on the DONOT
CALL LIST
Because there are JERKS in the world, if I could send my doberman
through the phone to bite his back side, I would have done it.

Woof Woof!
