To the fellow who said we can file claims with the FCC - how do we do that?   I have several of these types of numbers calling - another is the 480-409-4352 you mentioned.

I am on the do not call list in Canada, and it pretty much takes care of these calls from Canada (as I mentioned I am in Canada) How do I go about getting on a do not call list in the U.S. and/or reporting to the FCC?  

Can you help?  VERY much appreciated!
So tired of this!

I just got a call from these guys - like many of the rest of you - I never answer phone numbers from 800 or 888 numbers, phone numbers without a caller ID, or numbers I don't recognize!  Then I proceed to check them out online, because 9 out of 10 times it's a call like this, or telemarketing!  And I despise both!

They didn't leave a message, but after reading the comments here I have blocked the number.  We are obviously on some list somewhere or someone is doing an auto dial by digit increments.  I don't know where you folks are, I am in Canada....    

Blocking the number solves the problem for me, but I agree with the person who said how do we shut these guys down - because they are still calling others?  I worry about the disabled and the elderly who may not necessarily understand and may do what they ask, whether it be give out credit card info, do computer stuff, or even punch codes in to the phone giving them access to their long distance (which was a scam going on around here for a while) etc...  The Telephone companies need to get on this stuff - we have rights too!

A woman with a heavy Jewish accent called me from this number. She said she was from IWS.
Asked me if I wanted to make a lot of money. Said their system guaranteed results!
She then spoke about some Internet Mall. Said I had to invest at least $200.00 a month. Wanted me to hear to their 30 minute recording. I hung up after that since I perceived this was some Telemarketing scam.

They want you to start a home-based internet business.  I told them I work 4 jobs and am looking forward to beginning my career in education.  They said they'd call back & do so about every 3 hours during their business hours.  Leave no message.  Seriously, I told you I never signed up to start a home-based internet business and am not interested and am far too busy to entertain your bull or answer your calls & tell you 5 times a day.

I have tried filing complaints with the FTC and FCC and am always told that you have to re-add cell phone numbers to the Do Not Call list every 3 months and if you answer you're stuck.  I have several job applications out there and have to answer unfamiliar numbers in case it's about a job.  The FCC told me I have to file a claim with the state Attorney General on my dime for anything to be done.  Or pay to add a new line to my family plan since Sprint doesn't allow you to change your number without adding a line and because I use this number on all my job applications.  I just deal; guess it's worth it if I get the money from filling out the offers through various pin-me, pay-me sites.

Received several calls from this number--did not answer, as I no longer answer ANY number I don't recognize. There are way too many scams going on now, and somebody needs to figure out how to stop the harrassment and the robocalls.

I wealth is the caller and they want $200 for a business opportunity of which I will never know because I do not have $200 to "invest". I would not give these people money even if I had it because of the way they are conducting themselves. Nothing like a legitimate business.

This number seems to be tied to another number 480-409-4352... have filed FCC complaints for harassment to both numbers, but in the short term you can go to your carrier (at least with Verizon and ATT)  and block the numbers. Both are a scam apparently out of AZ

If answered, no one replies, so why bother calling? I have an older caller i.d., and under the number is the words "800 service", and further in the list, it appears again with "V90411111300008". Maybe those things will help someone shut them down. My husband says he'll get his mega-decible rescue whistle ( can be heard from under lots of snow, water, debris, and a good mile or more in all directions)and blow it into the receiver in case there's a live person not responding; the racket should convince them not to use our number anymore!

Called three times no voicemail.
If call was urgent, would you leave a message, so it's a scam most likely.
Never answer a 888 or foreign area code!!!!!
How they got my number, is beyond me, has I do not hear for I text only.

Thanks for the information. I kept getting phone calls from 4 different numbers 8-9 times a day. I registered my phone number in the FTC, hopefully they'll stop calling me. Thanks again, your post was very helpful.

Rules for handling these scam calls:  

1. Don't answer if you don't recognize the number (your parents taught you not to speak to strangers, right?). You won't hurt their feelings ? they have no feelings; they just want your money, credit cards, personal info.  In other words they want to ruin your life.
2. Don't call them back - don't assume they'll put you on their "do not call" list. They won't even if they say they will.
3. Don't complain about the number of times they call if you don't use your own (your service's) Block Caller list.
4. Be proactive and responsible by using your own protection. Assume nothing.
5. Get on your phone service's Blocked Caller list - if they don't have one, get one that does. If there's a fee, it's still worth using it for your peace of mind.
6. Don't think the government's Do Not Call list is going to handle it - they won't.
7. Google the number.  
8. Add the number to your personal Block Caller list.
9. Get on with your life ? you don't need to answer every phone call.

Correction:  the 602 number I wrote above isn't a DC # it is a Phoenix #.  I am not saying all calls from businesses in the Phoenix area are bad but boy a lot sure are.  Believe me I have learned the hard way and my husband keeps falling for them.  A lot of $ has be lost over the years.  I now have power of Attorney.

Two weeks ago my husband got caught up in the iWealth investments company and they got $250 out of him.  I did some investigation on it and than requested the money back.  We received a form and somehow my husbands initials and name are on it.  The writing is fairly close but not his.  My question is how did they come up with with signiture?  I am sure we aren't getting the money back.  They claimed that he OKed a return of $221.20 out of the $250.  Be very careful.    On the so called contract there are two other numbers
P: 602-759-7912 and F: 602-354-3210  I have not idea what the P and the F stand for BUT this is a DC number and they claimed to be with the Consumers Organization.  BS

TO EVERYONE WHO HAS OR IS RECEIVING "TELEMARKETING" PHONE CALLS, AND  INCLUDING YOUR CELL PHONES WHO HAS REGISTERED THEIR PHONE NUMBERS WITH THE " FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DO NOT CALL LIST" PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT ASAP WITH THE FTC. iF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED THOSE PHONE NUMBERS "DO IT NOW". THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO REGISTER AND FILE A COMPLAINT IS ON THE FTC WEB SITE. ALSO ON THE WEB SITE THE INFORMATION ADVISES WHAT ORGANIZATIONS CAN MAKE "TELEMARKETKING PHONE CALLS". IN THE FEDERAL "TELEMARKETING" LAW THERE IS A CLAUSE THAT STATES IF YOU FILE A COMPLAINT AND THE ORGANIZATION WHO PAYS FOR THE PHIONE NUMBER CAN BE FINED UP TO $11,00 PER PHONE CALL AND PHONE NUMBER. MANY OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS WILL USE DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS. THAT'S WHY IT IS SO IMORTANT TO MAKE A COPY OF EACH COMPLAINT.

I HAVE BEEN INFORMING AS MANY CONSUMERS AS I CAN ABOUT THE FTC AND THE "DO NOT CALL LIST", AND THE "TELEMARKING LAW". SOME STATES IN THE US HAVE STATE LAWS ABOUT TELEMARKETING. CHECK WITH YOUR STATE "ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION". ILLEGAL  AND SCAM TELEMARKETING HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE US SINCE THE RECESSION WORSEN.

I AM VOLUNTEER CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION AGENT FOR THE STATE OF MARYLAND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION. I HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERING SINCE 2004. I ASSIST THE CITIZENS OF MARYLAND WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCAMS, FRAUD, AND ILLEGAL TELEMARKETING.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO RETAIN RECORDS ABOUT ANY COMPLAINTS. IF YOU THINK THE PHONE CALL IS ILLEGAL CONTACT THE FTC. DO IT NOW!
