They call all day long and when you answer they hang up on you.  This is a
place of business and we do not have time for this petty behavior.

I receive calls from this number everyday (at least twice a day).  I never pick up the phone and they never leave a message.  My opinion is:  if they don't leave a message, it's not that important.  I rarely pick up the phone for numbers I don't know, as too many vendors, magazines, and recruiters call and waste my time!

They called today and after a bit of silence, someone came on and told me they were Amazon.com.  I do not talk to people I do not call.  I called Amazon (was worried a recent baby purchase might have been recalled) and it was  not them.  They sent it to their fraud department.

Caller calls and hangs up. 3xs a day within one hour. every day.

Received several calls from them -  I took the call today for it because i got tired of the calls and no messages being left by this number.  They are a call center for the magazine Facilities Management - they offer a free yearly subscription.  For one I am not in this field and never originally subscribed to their magazine.  Requested to be removed from call list,  we shall see....

they call me twice a day every business day on my mobile.  I don't answer any phone numbers from an out of state area code and these are getting really annoying.  How long will they call and I continue to ignore them?  Won't they take the hint?

We get the call regarding a magazine subscription, which we have told them we want to cancel.  The magazine company has no affiliation with this call center, and the magazine company even has tried to act on our behalf to remove us from the database.  
They have called us literally every 5 minutes today for the past 2 hours.  
I don't see any course of action because they just hang up when we try to have them remove us.
At this point I just pick up the phone and let it sit on my desk until they decide to hang up on their own.  Maybe I'll try answering and putting them on hold next time.  I figure if they want to waste my time that I can do the same thing right back to them.

Also found this:

Centricomm Inc
18 Wolcott Rd
Levittown, NY 11756
516-520-5000

Same people, different address.

Calls from 888-451-6565 are coming in at almost exactly the SAME TIME (can you say Auto-dialer?) EVERYDAY for OVER a week now. EVERY time I try to answer, it hangs up on me. According to AT&T and the FTC's website, that's considered harassment and is prosecutable with fines and possible jail time.

My number is listed on the DNC and I rewnew it yearly to make sure it STAYS on the DNC list.

Irregardless of whether this number has a relationship with this company or not (which I do NOT), this company does not have the right to call me BEFORE 6AM (received two calls so far at that time) and everyday at exactly 10:42 AM for over a week now. I work at night, so I'm sleeping at this time and don't appreciate the nonstop nuisance calls.

A copy of this entire message is also being sent to the FTC, via their website, and I will be opening a complaint should ANY more calls come in again.

Guess it's time to look into that call blocking feature now...

I work where I can't answer my phone. for the past week, I have gotten a call from this number twice a day but they don't leave a message. I called back t see who it was but they don't answer. Usually if I don't know the number I look it up before I answer and that's what I did and found all these sites regarding this scammer. Please update this site if anything comes up with this guy. It's starting to get really annoying.

Got tired of this scammer calling all the time.  Called back the number several times and out of frustration hacked digits. Well, what do you know but I cracked their machine.  It was maxed full of calls.  About a weeks worth at all times of the day and night.  Interesting that every person that left a message was a business.  This is a very simple machine, like an individuals, not a big business.  I'm going to keep a check on this thing and report back when I can.  Also going to keep working on locating more about who and where this scamming fool is. Everybody needs to work to shut down these kinds of back of the house operations!!

CALLED 5 TIMES TODAY. NO ONE THERE. VERY ANNOYING

Get calls least twice per day that show up on caller ID at a State Agency.

called 5 times and hung up. no answer or return call.  all you get is "memory full".

They called me 4 times today, when I pickup the phone no answer. I called them, no answer.

Please STOP this harassment

They called me 3 times today, and I am on the Do Not Call Registry. They slurred their name so that I couldn't understand what they were saying. After the 3rd time, I hit *57 and then emailed my attorney general.

They call multiple times per day. (at least 10)  If you don't pick up on the first ring its a dead line.  They have a computer that calls several people at once and the first one to answer gets the attention.  I am part of a small business with only two lines.  Everytime they call they take up 50% of my phone lines.

Asked for someone who wasn't here, hung up in the middle of telling her. Rude.

They called and told me it was "Ron" from Amazon.com.  Maybe now that Amazon has their number in their fraud department, something will happen.

Peconic Bay Marketing is a "trash" bottom of the barrel telemarketing company.  Weeks of hang up call!!!

Unwanted calls, two in row, two days in a row....does anyone really take care of these type of calls?!?!?!?!

I've received two calls today from this number, and this is after asking to be removed from the list two days ago. I wonder if a constant redial of their 888 number is at all an inconvenience to them.  It gives me a small amount of pleasure to think I'm tying up one line as I continue to hit "redial."  Hey, as I was typing guess what: third call today, and another promise to take me off the list.  We'll see.

The company is called centricomm. it is a telemarketing company.  I got on the site and dialed the customer service number, and they woman was nice and she took me off the call list.  i have not gotten a call since.  http://www.centricomm.com/page.php?page_id=contactus

I called them and they were really nice to me, taking me off the list. Thanks for the research on the number.

Five calls today from this number.  When I answer, I just hear a hang-up.  Very irritating!

calls me all the time asking for Dean Dirks

I love this statement on their site:

100% Compliance? Really? o_O
So when people ask you to stop calling them and you still do, that's considered 100% compliance?

I also noticed something else;
the creator of the Centricomm website is also named Steve too.

I got ahold of "CentraComm" in East Meadow, NY.  I spoke with a woman who acted CLUELESS... I gave her the name and number of my company and told her that the phone calls needed to stop - immediately.  This place called us 12 times this morning, on a day that we were busy with surgery.  So far the calls have stopped.

"CentraComm"'s number:   800.775.7574.        Good luck!

Just called the NY number and they SWEAR that it isn't them.  The "marketing dept" gave me the name "CentraComm" and the number 888.775.7574 and advised me to call them.  It's worth a shot if it makes these calls stop!
