We can put men and machinery on the moon and other planets...but we can't enforce the prevention of 'reported' unsolicited phone calls, even if the number being called is on a "no-call list". I bet high government officials don't have this problem.

I keep receiving calls from this number almost everday from the morning to  late at night.

OK, the National Do Not Call list seems like a huge FAIL

So any possibility of a "No Trespassing" sign for our phones?:

My line of thinking is, we pay for our phone and for our number. We can port our numbers to new phones. So, do we actually own the number like a piece of real estate? If so, when unwanted calls come to our phone, are they trespassing on private property? Can we have something like an electronic "No Trespassing" sign that  severs intrusive callers, sends them a warning message they are trespassing and also informs them further trespasses will be automatically noted and forwarded to authorities for possible legal action?

I have been getting calls from this number for several years and cannot get it to stop.  I have the number blocked but the phone stills rings once and the number records on my caller ID.

Repeatedly get calls from this phone number for a debt that I didn't agree with from day 1 -- 8 years ago -- and have repeatedly said so to the original creditor and sent in documentation.  Today they called my mom looking for me.

According to FTC, What practices are off limits for debt collectors?  Repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm

Then file a complaint https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

Even if they are calling for someone you don't even know and the debt isn't yours, file a complaint!  They are harassing you and that is against the law...especially before 8 am and after 9 pm.

When answered no body is on the phone.

invasive calls abd unwanted

Sprint allows me to block calls.  Since I get and ignore a call from these guys every day its time to block them.

i keep getting these to and as you suggested called them back told them they had wrong person.  The man started yelling at me and said you are to them i know you are.  The calls stopped for a few days and today started again once more told them they had wrong person and remove me from list and once more very rude.  I don't want to make a buck off anyone however this is my cell phone they calling and it cost me money to get them.

Relentless calls. No caller ID. They either hang up or leave an automated  voice mail for someone I don't know. I can only block so many numbers and debt collector calls for other people are getting out of hand. I am going to start a trace on all of them and sue.

Try 5.5 years, started right after I got my current phone number - I have no idea who Mindy Gottschalk is and I have told them that and asked them not to call again repeatedly; placed them on the Federal Do Not Call Registry and told them that  - it will not stop, nearly every day for 5.5 years!  I have been up on ladders, at the other end of house, etc. when they call - THIS IS PURE HARASSMENT! I am getting an attorney.

I get this number calling constantly it rings 2 or 3 times and hangs up
8884833767
its invasive and annoying

They have called three times now after 11pm wish the idoits would stop.

This number calls my work cell phone all the time, has for months. Most days it just rings one time & that's it. They call late at night, after 8 & 9 PM and on the weekends. At home, I'm never close enough to my phone to grab it before it stops ringing. They never leave a message & I don't call back but, it is annoying. Someone gave me a great idea though, and I'm really going to try to do this. Get a whistle & the next time they call and you have them on the line, blow the whistle as hard as you can into the phone & blow their ear drums out. Hmmm, maybe after doing that a few times, they will stop calling. It's worth a try. <]=0)~

Calls 3-4 times per day, every day.  So much for the do not call list...perhaps we are supposed to sign up every day???

get calls all the time, finally left a number for me to call back.  Called and asked them to remove my number they would not unless I gave them my name and social security number.  Yeah like I am that stupid.  They indicated they could not discuss who they were until my identity was verified. I informed them that they called me and should be able to look it up by phone number and remove my number.  Not very nice people.  This place should be shut down. Shame on you Texas for allowing this busines in your state

Have called the # and no one ever answer, eh!

This number calls me all the time. Im at school or at work they always blow up pmy phone. Honestly imma change my number soon. They always call at night to. I hate it and i told them many time that he doesnt live here.

I agree-----------the government has already ruined this country-------------Going to take along time for them to take care of the small stuff!

If I could get $500 for each call.I could retire------------Lost my full time job and I owe Time Warner/Reliant ,I get calls everyday ----------------

Don't you think that has been tried.  I have done that, several times.  The calls stop for a few weeks then they are back at it again.  Maybe they don't get it because they're, maybe from Canada, eh?

I have been registered with the "NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST" since it was first enacted by Congress, and continue to receive calls from this number (888-483-3767), as well as other telemarketing calls (TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION), as I have filed over 1005 complaints to "THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY", to report these callers, and 'NOTHING ' is done by this 'FEDERAL AGENCY' (THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION), nor have I received any compensation! If you look at your telephone bill, regardless if it is a land-line or cell phone number, you are charged each and every month by 'FEDERAL and 'STATE' taxes!  We, as taxpayers need to sue the 'FEDERAL GOVERNMENT', FOR THIS INEPT AGENCY! As most calls originate from outsourcing to India and other countries, 'THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY' will not stop these calls!

I consistently receive calls from this number and it's usually between 9 pm and 10:00 pm.  I also want them to stop.  I realized early on that it was a solicitation of some sort and I consider it very inconsiderate and unprofessional for any business or company to make calls to residents at such an inappropriate time.  The one time I spoke with them they claimed I had an outstanding debt and I knew they were lying because I stay on top of my business.  They asked for my SSN and that confirmed that it was a bogus call.  I hope enough of us posting makes these guys STOP!

I get calls from this number allllll the time.  I want them stopped!

I want to have these phone calls to stop NOW

I GET THESE CALLS 7 DAYS A WEEK, FROM 5AM UNTIL 11:00 PM IT IS NOT EVEN ME, I HAVE HAD MY NUMBER FOR 7 YEARS AND I STILL GET THESE DARN CALLS I AM FED UP WITH THIS!!

I received 2 calls from this number...one last night and one tonight.  Both were after 8 p.m.  That seems really late to me.  They don't leave a message either.

I hsve been receiving daily calls from this number for the past few months. It is annoying their message. I hate it.

I have this number blocked through Verizon and Google Talk, and the calls still come through.  They must be spoofing the number to get passed any restrictions.
***And please don't think this call is legit.  It is a scam people!  Please be smart!!***

I get the same thing, but since we both work nights, we are not able to do anything within 3 seconds or press 1 to end the call because we are asleep when they call. So they talk to the machine. Getting sick of calls that are not for me.
