this is how these callers get around the do not call list - I do not answer but they are persistent and annoying.

I thought this blog was about a phone number and not a political platform

calls at least once a day......sometimes in the evening......starts out pertaining to the electric bill.......

If you do that you're verifying that - your phone # is a working one, that a REAL person WILL answer and WILL talk to anyone who calls. Guess how many Telemarketers you'll be getting after your name gets on THAT list! Just hang up the damn phone on them! It's YOUR phone, you CAN do it! You do NOT have to be nice to people who harass you on YOUR phone. You do NOT even have to answer it if you do not recognize the callers number. Be smart!

This is just a discussion board for people to post about their unwanted callers.  Not intended as a venting board and writing here does nothing but advise others of who their callers may be.
Report your unwanted callers to the appropriate gov. authority can help.

Everyone is on the DNC list.   Doesn't make any difference to the scofflaws.

I've received 9 calls in two weeks from this number, even though I'm on the DNC registry.

Call the number back & press "1" at the prompt.  Supposedly removes the calling number (your phone from which you are calling) from their automated dialer.  Good luck!

nomorobo.com intercepted the call and hung up after one ring.

Called every 20 minutes for 2 hours finally answered and it is an automated call telling you that you won a Home Alert System. It says to tough #5 on phone so as not to receive any more calls so I did and no more calls

caller id reads: Service Customer
I've been getting many calls from this number but with different caller id.

I have not been answering.  hopefully after a while our # will drop off their call list.

~ Your reports DO help, ... a Lot of people, like me for instance. I want to thank you and everyone else who takes the time to support this site with their input.
~ I just got a call from this #, too. I looked it up on here to find out if others have said anything about this # and found I'n not alone on this #. I get many calls from Telemarketers and I refuse to answer if I don't recognize the #.
~ We have "CID" and "Private Number Blocking" on our computerized phone system so the people we DO know can get through without letting the TM's through. If it's important, the caller will call back, just like they would if I was not home. I lookup all the unrecognized #'s here and put the ones that have called EVERYONE else too, in my blocked call list on our computer system. Whenever they call again the computer handles it. We now have a list of over 285 TM's, Fraudlent Surveys (TM's), SCAMMERS, etc. Every time one of them calls back, the computer hangs up on them if they're a 'robo-call', or if there is an actual person on the other end, it gives them a message letting them know that "we have revoked their priveledge to use this phone # and that this is all THEY're ever going to hear".
~ The DNC list is the TM's biggest asset. They get 1) Current ACTIVE #'s; 2)  People, not machine #'s; 3) a real person will talk to them, not a message; 4) They can pass this # on to other TM's as verified "GOOD" for money$$. AND they get more $$ for every second YOU stay on the line!! Even if all you do is play the radio into the phone! It's a win/win situation for them. All they have to do is Pretend to be a survey and they can do whatever they want after you have answered a few stupid questoins.
~ SO, unless you want to put your computer to work for you on your phone line like we have done, the best thing for us to do if we don't recognize the callers # is to either not answer, or pick-up & hang-up (Immediately!). And N-E-V-E-R (!) give out ANY information over the phone to someone you do not know! Do NOT push ANY buttons because you don't REALLY know what that actually means on their end, and it shows that a real, live person will interact with any caller who calls them.

I get these calls too, along with the other spam call numbers. I've written on here about 3 or 4 times. Does writing on here actually do anything or is it to vent?

Pressing 1 to access call removal only hands your number off to a different # from the same company. Then you just keep getting calls from these Bozos tricking you into thinking its someone else. Just don't answer the calls or change your phone # to an unlisted #. Then be careful who you give your # to when filling out any forms or information.

now, how did you manage this when you do call back all you get is a busy signal?  Sounds like you are a scammer too.....

Oh please, I bet you blame the teaparty ofr Obamacare too, right?  A political party can't shut down a federal government department.  Learn your history and your Constitution.  Your stupid representativfes did this.  I bet you think Republicans are to blame for everything too, right?  Grow up, research things yourself and educate yourself a bit more before you make your ignorant comments.

called this afternoon at 4:30  pm.  Asked them to stop calling me and the man named Brent called me a 'bi***'.  Nice.  when I called back, all I got was a busy signal.  They have been calling for weeks.  It is an electricity spam call.

I called back and pressed 1 for removal. It takes 48 business Hours to be placed on their dnc list

The teabag party? F*** you

they left no message

annoyance

The US do not call list does nothing.  I no longer answer my phone.

I let my answering maching answer my calls. Chances are these calls 845 765 -4884  are telemarketers or scams calls .They are breaking the law when they will not take your phone number off their list. .

They keep calling me too. When I tell them to stop calling they hang up on me.

Trust me you are not alone. The pests are bothering random people and are truly obsessed and out of their low IQ minds.

Mine is from Beacon, NY too. Never a message left but I see they call me about 3x a day grrrrr

That's exactly what is happening to me!!!!  Driving me crazy!

---> "Please make them stop!" <---

How?  The Teabag Party shut down both the FCC *and* the FTC.  Your local police department can't even access, much less use, any information the FTC has concerning investigations resulting from DNC list complaints.
