| DONT TAKE THE BAIT! 2014-06-27 19:27:20 Prank Call |
Heads up peoples! I googled number. It came up that it is not a legit number. That its a spoof call. (Which should be illegal and app engineers investigated & prosecuted by Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission for inventing such) When I called missed call on caller ID back? They wanted me to press a number on their menu options on my cell phone keypad. DONT!!!
I believe that when a person does so - they have it programmed, on purpose, where they can hack phones piggyback on your phone to listen in - to get your credit card info if you pay your bills over phone check banking accounts etc. To obtain your identifying information. Don't press on anything. Don't take their bait! Especially when it comes to OPT OUT type options. On landlines too. Seriously. This fraud has got to be halted!

I called the number back and it's some Spanish recording the following it is a English recording where she speaks so fast you can't understand her. I left a message telling them to remove my number and that I'm reporting them.
| Lisa 2013-08-19 21:47:23 Unknown |
Keep getting calls from this number.
| THE PRVT EYE 2013-08-17 02:24:39 Unknown |
DO NOT ANSWER THIS PHONE # 888-231-7557 IT IS A MEXICAN TELEMARKETER. THEY ARE SCAMMING FOR MONEY.
| Kelly 2013-07-08 23:38:00 Telemarketer |
I have no idea how they got my number but they are persistent. I don't pick up nor will I call them back. That'll only make them see that my numbers valid and the calls will increase. I reported them but I see that hasn't done any good. Did anyone have any luck pressing charges?? It's obnoxious to say the least.
| Dotty 2012-12-31 17:52:16 Unknown |
I don?t know how they got my cell phone number but someone has been calling several times since 12/20/12. I do not speak Spanish and I told them ?do not call me?. I?ve received at least 8 calls since then and it uses up my minutes when I answer the call. There was another call this morning. I do not have an unlimited number of minutes to use and this is costing me money.
I sent an email to their "Do Not Call" address. Since they are a member of the Better Business Bureau, I hope they are responsible enough to do this.

This number currently belongs to Survival Auto Insurance. I initiated a business relationship with them a few months back, and they called me today about a business matter. I didn't recognize the number because they don't usually call me from that number, but they left a voicemail message.

| Nicole 2011-07-08 18:39:40 Unknown |
Got a call on my buisness line three times yesterday answered and everytime hung up. Recieved call again today answered and this time it was somebody claiming they are calling back in regards to an insurance quote. I explained they called a buisness and identified the type of buisness called and he said ok I will call back later. I told him that the number he dialed is my direct line and he was only going to keep getting me. He said somebody most likely called from my phone. I told him that nobody uses my phone but me. Hopefully they will stop calling.
| Cris 2011-06-06 21:05:15 Unknown |

| Nick 2011-06-06 21:05:15 Unknown |
Yes they are Lexicon and they sell a program for Spanish speaking people to learn English. So they probably do have the wrong number. The Program is Sin Barreras Ingles. Someone has given them the wrong number or they dialed it wrong.
| jay 2011-06-06 21:05:15 Unknown |
I received a call from this guy named Ariel from 888 231 7557, apparently they sell english learning programs but this is a non-stop calling, he asked for Marco, i replied wrong number, then he asked me who i was, i replied the phone's owner and then he said he was the PD and the call was being recorded, totally waste of time, i wish i knew where they are locate it and tell them in person to stop calling
| Erin 2011-06-06 21:05:15 Unknown |
got a call from this number yesterday and now another today. Only one call each of the days, but I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know. I think I will report this number to the do-no-call list as well as my number is registered.

Spam caller
| Kathleen 2011-06-06 21:05:15 Unknown |
I usually do not answer "unknown" calls from "888" area codes - it is illegal under the Federal Fair Trade Act to make business phone calls with "Unknown" as the caller. After 15 rings, though, and at 8:05 p.m., I was angry. I picked up the phone and said simply "You rang my phone 15 times, which is against the law. Do not call here anymore". I hung up, but I heard a Spanish-speaking lady hollering some gibberish in the background. If you can believe it - the caller phoned AGAIN. I picked it up immediately and asked, "Okay. Who are you with?" I can SUE this caller for $1000 and I definitely will do it! Well, the lady switched to English and asked for "Mingo". She said, "This is probably a wrong number." I hit the ceiling. I told her, "All of that mess with ringing my telephone, and for someone that does not even live here?!!!" This happened just minutes ago, so the details are fresh in my mind and I am stating them truthfully. I don't need a lawyer. I am going to find these people and file my complaint with the Federal court on Monday.
Maybe I misquoted the Fair Trade Act, but here, verbatim, (below) is something that can be used. The "remedy" is $1000 for each violation. Even though these laws are intended to protect consumers against debt collectors, I still do not know who these people are that are calling me - maybe "Mingo" owes a debt. There is at least one comment that indicates the 888-231-7557 people are looking to collect for a balance due. In that case, the complaints in my suit will apply. (btw, I went straight to the do not call site and registered a complaint.)
THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
As amended by Public Law 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 (Sept. 30, 1996)
§ 806. Harassment or abuse [15 USC 1692d]
A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section:
(1) The use or threat of use of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person.
(2) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader.
(3) The publication of a list of consumers who allegedly refuse to pay debts, except to a consumer reporting agency or to persons meeting the requirements of section 603(f) or 604(3)1 of this Act.
(4) The advertisement for sale of any debt to coerce payment of the debt.
(5) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number.
(6) Except as provided in section 804, the placement of telephone calls without meaningful disclosure of the caller's identity.
I have discovered that these people also mortgages and "pay day loans" to Hispanics with bad credit. They ARE debt collectors!
