888-296-1415   I can see by reading these forum threads that this phone numbers rings thousands of phones every day, numerous times a day. IO get 3 - 4 daily for years now.   You can report it here, that's great.  I have just been ignoring to this point.  No more.  I havee begun filing a complaint with the FCC every time a call comes in from that line.  Just type fcc in your search line and click on the complaint link.  Fill out the on-line complaint form - it only takes a minute.  I will keep track of the times the calls come in during the day on the caller ID and do my complaints all at once for two or three days.  Surely a giant like the FCC can find out who is using that phone number and stop them from harassing all of us.

This is one of a number of scams that have been growing in number in recent months.  "True Yellow Pages", "Yellow Pages Online", "ZipWeb", etc etc. Are all examples of this.  They call to "update your information for your free listing".  Their web listing either does not exist or does not turn up on any search engines (I have checked this myself as well as having friends who work for Google and Yahoo check into it, this is a total scam).  Uninformed person likes idea of free listing and gives the info, at some point the caller gets the uninformed person to say the word "Yes", at which point they sign them up for the pay service after a 30-day trial (they bill via 3rd party through your phone bill), basically they will take the audio recording of you saying "Yes" and paste it to a statement by their rep asking if you understand the Terms and Conditions of their service, essentially screwing you.  This will make it very difficult to both quit the 'service' and to get back what you've been billed.  

Best things to do are as follows:
1.  Put a 3rd-party billing block on your phone bill ASAP.  Your phone company should do this for no charge to you.
2.  Do not under any circumstances say "Yes" or anything that can be taken as an affirmative statement.  These scams will take that and paste it to their rep asking if you understand the Terms and Conditions of their service, essentially screwing you.
3.  When they call, tell them to remove you from their calling list.  They are trained to ignore this and press for you to update your information.  At that point, raise your voice and threaten lawsuits against both the company and the representative personally.  Be agressive, verbally tear them a new one.  Do this for about one minute, and if they have not already disconnected, then hang up.  You will be much more likely to be removed from their lists if you are forceful bordering on abusive on the phone.  (I've managed to get off the lists of ZipWeb and a couple of the "YellowPages" scams using this approach).
4. (Most Important)  Do NOT feel bad about being abusive toward the rep.  These reps know full well what kind of "business" they are working for, so they are not without sin here.  This is what you must do to get this to stop, so do not hesitate to do it.

+011-888-296-1415 is the number that comes up. I have 888-296-1415 call-blocked on my AT&T U-Verse but it still rings through because of the +011. AT&T only lets me input 10 digits. I guess 011 is the country code, so they're calling from outside the US? Nobody answers when I pick up. Very frustrating. I run a biz from home so I have to pick up and I can't see my Caller ID display very well.

Got a call from a female. Broken English. Sounded like she was calling from a boiler room. She said she was doing her yearly update and needed some information. She obviously had no idea who she was calling and was grasping at straws. I really couldn't understand a word of what she was saying. After prodding her for information, she said she was from onlinegreendirectory.net and needed some info to update her directory "free of charge". I said I wasn't interested and she laughed and tried to assure me that she was just updating the info she already had despite not having anything but a number. I asked for her number. She gave me the number 866-964-0489. She used the word "correct" a lot in places to bridge the gap between the right English words she didn't know. I asked her what kind of business it was she said I was just like her husband always asking questions. I told her I wasn't interested in whatever it was. I called the 866 number and spoke to a "Jason". I asked what their location was. He responded, "fiscally located or HQ?" I said HQ. Got the following:

555 Windearley Pl
Ste. 300
Maitland Fl, 32751

Place is obviously a scam

Repeated calls from this number.  Sometimes it is a hang up, but twice I've spoken with an Indian guy.  The last caller was Ricky Montana...don't you love the inventiveness!!  Obviously reading from a script and kept wanted to verify our listing information that we already owned.  Annoying and bothersome at best!

I told the female caller that we are on the do not call registry.  She asked me for my i.d.  I replied to take me off their list and hung up.  They dialed my number again within the next 5 minutes.  Please report this abuse to www.donotcall.gov

They called from 888-296-1415 Green Book or something like that. This number is on the DNC List. So I filed yet another report to DNC List. Do not give any of your information to anyone that calls you. You dont know who they are. They will rob you over the phone.

You need to register the number on the do not call registry.  Just type "do not call registry" into google and then submit a complaint!  But the only trick is you have to be registered in the first place.  So if you're not already registered you need to do that!!

answer the phone by saying, "Federal Bureau of Investigation, my name is John(or jane) how can I help you?  or say "can I have your return phone number in case we get disconnected"  Enough people start doing this and Ill bet they go away.  There are many ways to get them bothered, call them back 12 hours after they call you and see if they sleep, etc.
