I haven't found a way to block them completely, but I did save their number as "spammer" and set the ringtone for them to 'none' on my cell.  Now when they call I'm not bothered, because my phone doesn't ring.

Unfortunately, the FCC and the DNCR are useless.  All they are doing is keeping statistics.  (I got this information in an email from the FCC after I reported a company that kept calling after I told them not to.)  Also, I've been reading that a lot of these companies aren't calling to talk to anyone, they're just checking to see if someone answers, meaning it's a valid, active number that is then sold to other companies.  I don't know it that's true or not, but it kind of makes sense, since if you do answer, more often than not no one is there.  I agree with you 100% that telemarketing should be illegal, but I would imagine there is a huge telemarketing lobby that's giving money to the politicians who would pass the law that would get rid of them.  As far as suing these companies, I don't see that working at all, because these companies just change their number or name and continue harrassing people.  I doubt if any of them would offer a settlement and I doubt that the courts would go after them even if you did win in court.

Caller I.D. identifies "Iron Mt  MI" and nothing else

Calls coming in on cell phone, and while I can hear others speaking/noise in background no one says anything for a few seconds and then I hang up but they continue to call so now I'm not answering -- checked this post and others -- serious waste of my time and or minutes if I answer.

these jerks have called numerous times and yes im on the "no call"  list,i tried calling back to raise hell but no anser. same here i googled it and this only comes up

They called me a few times.  I never answered.  Annoying.

Just recieved a call from this number - 906-221-2705.  I was waiting for another call and this call came in as "Wireless Caller".  I answered and a man started asking for me by name.  I responded "yes" and he went on to ask for me again by my last name.  I responded this was me...and that I was waiting for a phone call.  Before I could say anything else...he yelled at me "if you don't want to talk, just say so!" and hung up.  WOW!

I have never written up a message for a phone call before, but this one I could not let pass by!

The name of the company is Specialty Travel Services....and the phone number they used this time was 906-221-2705.......one of MANY!!!!

Calls, but leaves no message.

they keep asking for the person in charge of our relocation - we've been here over 10 years and own the building....we're not going anywhere!!!  annoying thing is i keep getting off one line to pick them up and they call everyday, i really don't have time for their bs!

Yup I called the number back and no reply just the Verizon thing.  When I amswered nobody was there anyway and mine just came up wireless caller.  This is a business so unbless I recognize the number as one of these bogus ones I have to answer it.  I get calls from 701-509-8703 and 1000-0000000 and they are all scams.

I want them to stop harrassing me.

I just received a call. My CID said Michigan and the number. A woman stated since I was a repeat customer of a particular cruise company, that I was being offered a 7 day cruise plus another 4 days, at various locations, for a total of 595.00, also that I had 3 years in which to book the actual cruise, keeping in mind, this offer was also being made to fill the ship. I asked her why they would offer discounts for cruises up tp 3 years in advance. She said she didnt know. Said all I had to do today was pay 498.00 to lock in! LOL. When she became too flustered to answer my questions, the phone was practically snatched from her by a male. She had been still talking. He was saying how I could Google their company which I believe he said was named Wholesale Cruises. Funny that's not what was on my CID. I told him I could not verify that"s where he was calling from. When I said this he started laughing, innapropriately. I never considered taking this offer, but was simply gathering info. This is the kind of scam that can ruin you. He even offered to transfer me to another person in their Dept. I had enough by that time. I asked that they take me off their list. People rule of thumb, unless you initiate the call, do not ever give any credit card information, never. If it's a company you are familiar with, tell them you will call them back. Remember, you can purchase an electronic item, that will allow you to code any name you choose, and that is what will show on the person's CID that you call. I was even told to Google the company's name that he said he represented, which is probably a legit company. I called the number back, of course no one answered. The recorded message said the Verizon customer was not available. Yes, I'am considering contacting Verizon. BEWARE.

Have been calling several times, and  ask for me. who is this???

Lady said she was from a school in ... very very rude said is the owner there?

Live caller claiming to be from Travel Services.  When I refused their services, the caller called me names and threatened me claiming he had all my personal information.

Caller I.D. identifies "Iron Mt  MI" and nothing else.

got a call at work asking for me by name.  my stupid employee got busy and set the phone down, and remembered 10 minutes later that i had a call.  after *69'ing it, and looking up the info here, i'm kinda glad they got the shaft of incompetence.

just got a call, telling me my survey on smoke detectors was chosen for a free $1200 security system from GE.  told her i never did survey and take me off your call list.  let's see if she does.

If you report them to the FCC/FTC and the do not call registry (if you are registered on the DNCR) every time they call (document the calls as they come in).  You will have sufficient evidence to file a lawsuit with small claims against them.  They potentially will end up paying you a tidy sum if nothing more than your filing fees and court costs and punitive costs.  They need to be taught a lesson for their blatent attitude towards laws in this country.  I don't answer these calls.  I just google the phone number listed on my caller ID and then report them to the Federal entities for possible action against them.  If you tell them to remove your name and number from their callling list and they don't and you have documented the dates and times they have called since then you have actual, valid grounds for legal action in civil court.  In most cases they will try to settle with you out of court and depending on how strong you are about taking this action towards them they will hope you buy off on a settlement and not take them to court because they know they will loose the court case and end up paying more for the court to decide their demise.  If everyone took this stand against them we might be able to get them out of business for life.  If our government had any brains working for us they would make telemarketing illegal and pull all telemarketers out of circulation for good.  The day of telelmarketers has long since passed it's usefullness and honesty.  Any telemarketers these days are crooked as the day is long and we all need to realize this.  DO NOT TALK TO THEM other than to tell them to remove your number and let them know you are reporting them to all possible federal organizations that will take them down for good.  Also we all need to start writing stern letters on this subject to our congress and senators.

They called me twice and told me about this deal about a travel service when we pay 200we get a four member 4 day and 3nights in orlando fl, and daytona fl, and two other stays at 40 other locations in the U.S.

Called and hung up with no message.

Caller ID reads "Cell Phone  MI".  Left no msg on ans machine.  Highly suspicious. Never been to Michigan and don't know anyone even remotely near that part of the country.  Our phone number is on the federal DNC list.

Just got this one today, CID said "Michigan call". Left no message. I'm getting one or two of these kinds of calls everyday now, from a variety of bogus numbers/locations. Almost always leave no message or it's an automatic call. I've actually heard different automated calls from the same numbers on different days! When I look them up I find one of these type threads 99% of the time. I wish there was a way to crack down on these unwanted calls.

Anymore I just screen all calls through caller ID. I have a phone that allows seperate ring tones to be assigned to numbers. I selected a ring tone for legitimate known callers so then when the different "default" ring tone rings, I know it's a suspect call.

man was rude and weird!!!!! I just hung up before he could say anything else. There was no caller ID.

I just got a Smartphone. Are these spam calls getting my number from Android apps? Anyone else recently downoad any apps?

okay I relooked it says "Iron MT MI" on my Caller ID. My eyes are bad. sorry.

Just got a call from the same number.. Googled it and it was being serviced by All Tel cellular service. Maybe we need to call All Tel? I have vonage and have no way to block this number. After reading the above statements I imagine they will call again. On my caller ID all it showed was "Iron MI MI." Two MI's.

Jeff - the call is coming from the city Iron Mountain, MI, not the company Iron Mountain.  I'm not answering the phone for these dolts either.

Cold calling business numbers trying to sell travel services.
