828 is a NC area code

PLEASE READ THIS:
I want more people to research and expose these crooks. I've done a bit of reading into this, and it's amazing what you can find online. There are many people who are involved in this (and many repeat offenders, one being Lisa Miller who was already INVOLVED WITH THIS CRAP BACK IN 2004 http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0423019/0423019vector.shtm).

One of the guys in the most recent settlement case with the FTC is Emory L Holley IV. (http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1223195/131122keyonestip.pdf)

This b*****d lives in a $1.35 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE IN ARIZONA!! ALL FROM THESE RIDICULOUS SCAMS HE RUNS!! This is his information on Whitepages:
http://www.whitepages.com/name/Emory-L-Holley-Iv/Chandler-AZ/b7yubym

This is his house on Zillow, showing you he purchased it for $1.35 MILLION in 2006: I personally think it's an ugly house for  1.35 million. Look it up on Google Maps Streetview and you can see it online.

PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS!!! I appreciate others doing their own research too and exposing these frauds, because with 30 minutes of googling and reading, I found out that these people are repeat offenders, yet the FTC took YEARS to track down these idiots, after MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS, when some of them turned out to be REPEAT OFFENDERS! Makes you think, huh?

Call FTC fraud# 877-382-4357 and file an FTC complaint against this company.  I did.  The call starts out as a robocall informing seniors that their calls to 911 may not get prompt response and it may cost them their lives.  Press 1 to talk to a rep.  Press 5 to be removed from their calling list.  First call used a different number and I asked to be removed from their list (even though I'm on the Do Not Call Registry).  Then they called from this number 828-475-7077 so I opted to speak with their representative.  From the background noise it was obvious it was a call center, so I asked the rep what telemarketing firm they worked for. Rep wouldn't answer the question and tried to obfuscate - then hung up on me.  When I called the number back from caller ID it was disconnected.  Probably spoofed.  An Internet search shows "Senior Emergency Care" may be attempting to scam seniors offering a "free" service that they actually charge for OR may be phishing for credit cards and such.

This is cut-n-dry. Don't answer it. You don't recognize it, do you?  Then go about your business. Have a good day.

I received the same call. This number called with something about seniors and a new security system. I am also on the do not call list- I pressed 1 to 'talk to a live representative about getting this product' so that I could tell them not to contact me again, but when I did so I heard some static and shuffling and then the call was dropped. Extremely annoying.

Unsolicited call

So sick and tired of these calls...............got home from vacation to see that we had a zillion messages....all from numbers like this.
Also from 440-336-4887 / 202-350-3492 / 202-350-4661 / 202-688-0811 / 202-688-8627 / 305-368-8825 / 407-976-6317
Does anyone truly know how to report these in order to stop them?

I continue to get this number called to my home.... they never leave a message.. so I called the number back and it said was a number that is not in service??? I pulled up the exact number and hit redial so I know I had the correct number to call back .... Still the same not in service?? !! very annoying!!!!!

Annoying     all people think about is to scam someone   change ph no and us your area code so you will answer    DO NOT

Answered call from idenity theives regarding lowering interest rate on credit cards.

Just more Robo-Calling scammers.

No message.

I am newly retired and became so aggravated at the same telemarketing calls coming in daily so now I call the number back and promise to call them repeatedly every day so that I can "keep them in a job" in this terrible economy. I tell them that I live alone and only have a cat to talk to and  am lonely and that I don't have a credit card, but would love to hear their sales pitch, anyway.  I am very respectful and helpful. I ask them personal questions about their life, "Are you paying for college? Do you have a family? The ones from India, I offer to help them with their English skills. I am given a supervisor who takes my phone off of the list. Warning, don't do this unless you have unlimited free digital callling, because they can charge your carrier. It has worked for me repeatedly!

calls and hangs up immediately. Very annoying.

Received call from 828-475-7077  I work up in that area so the area code is correct... no message

Did anybody here happen to have an Origin game account hacked? I had mine hacked about a week ago, and I wonder if this might be related.

Stop calling my number.

Hey HS,
How do you know that this is Level 3 Communications LLC?

NC Attorney General, Roy Cooper, is aggressive in shutting down these operations if they can be identified.

Robocall trying to lower my interest rates

Robocall wants to lower my interest rates

Thank you.  I just filed a complaint.

I periodically get these - same thing, offering lower credit card rate and they hang up when you tell them to remove your number from their calling list, and that you are on the do not call list.  i immediately go to FCC.gov and file a consumer complaint.  maybe after enough complaints are made, someone will fine them!

You know what's sad? They busted these people (or at least another group using the same "company name") back in 2009. They're back now, and being prosecuted again, well at least the same thing is being prosecuted again, don't know if it's the same people though.

There's no use calling the number back because it's usually a spoofed phone number. The information about Level 3 Communications is incorrect, they don't have anything to do with this...they're the one of the largest telecommunications companies and internet providers in the world, they just happen to be the party that holds the phone exchange for the number that was used.

I personally would LOVE to visit these scumbags at their houses and give them a piece of my mind for calling me for over a year now, but I'd probably get arrested. Hopefully they go to jail for a long time.

Call received 3:50pm CST.  I did not answer since I didn't recognize the area code.  I hadn't had one of these calls for awhile but looks like they are at it again even thought the FTC is charging them.  I wish they would publish the callers' real phone numbers and names so that those of being bothered could hunt them down and go medieval on them.  Blocking the number doesn't work since they are spoofing the number they are calling from.  View the ftc website recommendations on how to deal with these pariahs.

I've received numerous calls from them regarding lower interest rates on "my" credit cards.  I have waited for an operator and when I try and tell them that I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST and that the cell number they are calling is NOT associated with any actual credit cards.......THEY HANG UP ON ME BUT CONTINUE TO CALL.

Does anyone have an actual working number for this number to actually complain about the hang ups.

Just got a call from them as well. Posted a complaint but I doubt it will work. This was the third time they have called and the third time I pressed #1 to tell them to drop me from their list. This time, however, the punk told me to shut up. If I ever get the chance to meet him, he will regret ever calling me (hope you are reading this punk...would love for you to meet with me).
From now on, I am going to do as Shane is doing and waste some of their time. Give them a fake credit card # so they think they have a dummy who gives out credit card numbers freely and then laugh at them and tell them to F-Off..then hang up on them.
The # that called was what you guys posted 828-475-7077

Good for you. I want to do the same. Their practices are horrid, at least I'm not falling for it, but those that do I feel sorry for.

I record all of my calls - My state's laws allow one-party notification. If you want recordings of my calls with them (granted I haven't received them in a while), let me know. My "name" at gmail.com

Same here...debt consolidation but I have no debt. I am registered on the DNC list too.

The number 828 475 7077 and other numbers keep calling. DO NOT give them any info. I have asked many many times to remove me from the list and they hang up. So I wanted to see what they wanted so I told them I have $50,000 in credit card debt and then they wanted my credit card numbers and phone numbers of creditors. I laughed at them and hung up the phone. So now everytime they call I try and waste as much of their time as free time I have at the moment.
