They just called and asked to speak to my son who died a year and a half ago.  I said did you know him and they just hung up.  Obviously they need to work on customer service and empathy.  Oh, well!

Called to offer me mail me "investment information" at (he said my full home address).  If they wouldn't have had my actual home address, I would have given them a false address...in an effort to waste their money for postage.

Calls from this number daily.... how to stop them?>

They've been calling me every day for about a month now. They never leave a message. I get a lot of calls from collectors for people I've never heard of though, so I'm suspecting it's just another one of them.

what makes you think the "government" cares?

the so-called "do not call list" is the best thing that ever happened to the fly by night telemarketers, since it provided them with prepared lists of potential marks.  do you think that an offshore telemarketer will follow your silly rules?

the telcos are the ones who *could* police this, but what's in it for them, in exchange for p!ssing off some of their medium-sized customers?

the "do not call list" is a (political) farce.  not only does it not have any teeth (and politicians have explicitly exempted their own fundraisers, for example), but it is being used as a CALLING list by unscrupulous telemarketers.

if they are allowed to get away with forging their callerid information, there is no way to police them - bogus callerid should lead to immediate disconnection, but good luck trying to get anyone, and especially the telcos who are hungry for commercial business, to do it.

sneaky sneaky..caller I.D. came up "win" and  of course some smuchk  will answer but come on folks...
so sick of this

Caller ID: WIN 8189231016 - hung up as soon as answered.

Company will call ask for owner  -- he is very busy--- gives no info-- and will not leave a message?????
this is very rude.

I got same call today. Pretty strange, russian caller wanting to send me an investment package, Not the usual high pressure. I think phishing for address.

Calling my personal cell phone. No message left. Do not call registery is good for what?

Some Equity Management company...asked to have my number removed...

So I've been called 3 times now and let it go to voicemail. I decided to call back.  It just went to a voicemail saying, 'if you'd like to be taken off our call list, leave your name and number." I left a message saying "I will not give you my name, but my number is...xxxx please stop calling."

Can you post the information you got from them?  Thanks!

Selling investment advice. Total junk call.

3rd call this week from these d***heads!  Fricking b*****ds just won't quit, so had to add them to the Call Block list on my phone.  Suck on this, dungforbrains!

These people call and say nothing, hang up as soon as i answer. How rude!!!!!
I called back and it was some type of survey CO.

I answered the phone they asked for someone, I said I'll go get them , HOLD ON....and left for 30 minutes..........The time before I answered and asked" Hello, who is it"...and kept asking my question, then asked who you with, no answer...asked what does your company do?...stopped them dead in their tracks......until they hung up

Can't these companies be fined?
What is the way to get them fined and dealt with?

STOP CALLING THIS NUMBER

Legitimate Companies Should Properly Identify Themselves On The Caller ID.  The Only Way To Stop These Kinds Of Calls Is To Make Them Pay. Always Answer - They Have To Pay For Completed Call.  Keep Them Talking As Long As Possible With Fake Info So They Have To Pay More.

they've been calling 6 times a day for 5 days in a row, using different numbers. once i stopped picking up the phone they insisted aggressively. this is a business phone, is there a way to stop them?

again i laugh as i read these comments... a great number of people actually think they can get rid of scammers with the DNC list, and further their cause by filing complaints.

this will not work and only annoy the registry reps

these people use number spoofing so you can't find them but end up potentially getting an innocent company in trouble with your whining and complaint filing, but whatever

also scammers are scammers and pay no heed whatsoever to your DNC list because they use auto-dialers to randomly connect them to the annoyed person on the other end of the line

Cuban James is likely an infiltrator .... the company of criminals that we are all complaining about has put this message in here to confuse people. A real company??? Why do we need to better understand why they are calling?? We all know that they are out to defraud us. P.S. real companies don't have telemarketers who behave in the way described by other posters.

You can easily call 818-923-1016 and leave them a message to take your telephone number off their calling list, they are real business regarding investments, here's their web site address:

The company associated with this number is World Information Network. To better understand why they are calling you go to http://www.wininfo.com/ .

You can with a Voip system the number of blocked numbers is endless....

lets all go to do not call.gov and file a complain.

keep getting this number on my cell phone and home number. they ask for me like they know me.then when i ask who they r.they keep talking and blah,blah, blah. when said not intrested they hand up.

They bother us at our residence and ask for us by name.  WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??? it is very annoying.  

Violated

Asked my wife for me but i wasn't  home. never called back.
