3 to 4 times a day every 6 days or so, this number calls me. I don't answer. They don't leave a message

Got 1 call today and 1 yesterday....   I'll be blocking whoever it is....

I have been getting calls from this number for the past few days. I finally answered and it was a foreigner I could barely understand. The scary part was he said he was calling from my insurance company and just needed to verify my information. He had my full name, address, and my birthdate! Now I'm afraid this might be some identity thief scam!

I received a call and the operator had a very strange accent, it appeared to me that English is not their native language so they may be calling from a foreign country.  He advised me he was calling from "auto loan network" and I qualified for an auto loan. I barely got out that I wasn't interested and he hung up. I searched auto-loan network and there is a company and they have a notice posted that these calls are not from them. Regardless, I would block this number I'm sure it is a scam.

Oh, and I started reading other people's complaints and how those callers would say inappropriate things, and I realized that I totally forgot to mention that when they called this morning and I went off on that guy that it was 6 a.m., he said "I love you, I love you, I love you!!"  Uh, what?  That was incredibly inappropriate, but at least he did not tell me that I would burn in hell like they told other callers (see comments in this thread).  And about a month ago when this whole saga of calling me on a daily basis started, the very first call was allegedly from some "department of education" but now I know that it was the same company (same voice and SAME number).  I have a few (well, a lot of) loans with the Department of Education and at first thought they were calling me about my loans or that DOE sold my number (which I doubt would happen) to some educational program and they were calling me to see if I were interested in enrolling in some programs.  They guy started asking me whether I was interested in additional educational opportunities and I said "no."  He asked why, and I said it was because I had already attained all education I needed.  He asked why, and I said because I had already completed seven years of post-secondary education and attained my doctorate.  He said "why."  At that point the game grew old and I told him that I am not interested and hung up.  Since that conversation I have been getting calls from the same person at the same number with different offers.  I think I am just going to block them now.  I hate it so much!!

I am soooooo sick of these people.  They call me nearly every day!  This morning I received a call at 6 a.m. (thankfully I was already up).  It's the same darn person who always misspells my name.  I am ready to go all-out-war on them!!!!!

I got 5 calls from them today! !

They should make the person who posted that on their web page remove it, or update it. It's almost become an urban legend. Area code 855 is toll free. No charge is made to the person receiving the call. Area code 800, 822, 833, 844, 866, 877, 888 through 899 will all be toll free. Area code 811 in the US is for local underground utility assistance service. In Canada it's for Telehealth.

Area code 855 is an area code reserved for toll-free calls in which the calling party is not charged. Instead, the telephone carrier charges the cost of the call to the called party.

This number called me today and I didnt answer. They left a voicemail where there's background noise and then they say my name in laughter. Feel so weird after reading the posts.

Dispute it in writing with a letter sent via certified or return receipt US mail to the address on your bill of your phone service provider. File complaints accordingly with the FTC, your state attorney General & CFB..

Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

I just looked up the information about 855 numbers. It's a new service that does a reverse toll charge..Instead of the company paying the charges for calling, we paid the service when they call us. So, thanks to the brilliance of phone companies and FCC, we now have a new way to get scammed by people calling us, by someone setting up a fake company and getting one of these numbers.

I too started getting 3 to 5 calls per day and they never leave a message. I tried to call back but the number is not in service.

Not sure everytime I answer nobody answers back it hangs up. Then I calk back state s number not in service. I receive 3-7 calks a day when I dont answer they don't leave a voice message. Sick of this company calling me.

File reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC..

I has calls from them every day staring 6am asking for money because legal matter I'm sick and tired of them  this people  are from over seas and use American Las names and also first names

They call me all the time to finally answered and they were looking for some one else. Told the guy ( who couldnt speak english very well) they had the wrong number. He then asked me why am I using the wrong number. If im not who he was looking for then im using the wrong number. What an idiot.

correction to my post:    "it does now block anyone's call"    should read   "it does not block anyone's call"

The caller is a scammer or something similar.  They do not abide by any laws.   As far as their calls getting thru,  I don't know what he is using for blocking but if he is depending on the Do Not Call Registry List,   it does now block anyone's call.  It is just a list.  Keep in mind that nothing will stop the scofflaws when they want to call your number.  It's what they do.

my husband gets calls from this number 3-4 times a day-even with "do not" call and blocked how do they get thru??

There was a guy that's called numerous times from this number. Each time they have called, I've asked him to take me off their listing. I've day when he called he told me he was from New York, Los Angeles....where the hell is this place.....I'm sick of then calling my phone. Today the guy, Michael Scoffield, which I had to ask numerous times, Sid he was calling from Auto Loan Network....I have no need for an auto loan....Really wish someone would kick these people in their tails and throw them in jail

I go tthis call and when i picked the phone they started abusing in my native language..who the hell these guys are.we need  some strong action against them.

I've been getting calls from them the past 3 days.  I just let it go to voicemail (no message) and then tried to call the number back to see who it is.  I got a message saying the number is not in service at this time.

These a$$hats started calling me at 6:27 a.m then again at 6:45 a.m and again at 9:45 a.m. I have yet to answer. Perhaps I will answer the next time they call, and blow a nice loud whistle, just like someone else did. We'll see how much they like calling my number again.

I have looked at my caller ID and this number pops up 8 times. No messages have been left. I have learned in the passed that if you answer certain numbers and it can attached to it and rob you of your identifying information. A few years ago, I found my bank account high jacked by this manner. I never answer numbers I do not know.

Calls my phone 3-5times per day

Calls start very early in the morning. they call every 45 minutes. I am on the do not call registry stop calling me! I believe one of the calls was from an auto service company. The calls all say something different, all are very difficult to understand. Other numbers are starting to call, some say "private number" most start with 855 area code. Its like an infection that wont go away. I have no plans of returning the calls and I always tell them I will report them.
They don't care. I am wondering how they got my number?

They call at 6:20 am and do not leave a message, driving me crazy,

Actually,  no one has to go by the do not call registry list that are not a Registered with the FTC Telemarketing business who is required to purchase the list monthly.(Telemarket= Telephone sales of goods or services)   The Do Not Call Registry only applies to them.  Any other violations are handled by other appropriate govnt agencies.
Some don't like it......but that's the way it is....

This number is calling me everyday! This morning at 7:36. I thought they were laws about what hours they could call. I guess some do not have to go by the "do not call list". This is sooooo annoying.
