This person keeps calling at all ours of the night and day.  He does not speak good English and I am elderly and hard of hearing.  He has been told to stop calling but now is calling with different numbers.  I am not interested in what he is trying to sell me or give me. He needs to stop

THANKS Mr Brookes as I get this and a private caller 817 number 3 to 4 a day each....I WANT IT TO STOP!!!!

Getting annoyed with 10 times a day...

Follow up:  I just contacted Peerless and went to their National Operations (option #2 on toll-free) and spoke w/"Deon".  He looked up the number and said that it was one that had sold to a customer.  He further indicated that he would contact the account rep and have the party "slapped around a bit".  Have requested an email as to final disposition and indicated that I am posting this to various boards where complaints are lodged.

My research shows that this number, which shows up as "Kids Wish", is connected to/serviced by:

Peerless Network, Inc.
222 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2730
Chicago, IL 60606

312-506-0920 (main number)
888-380-2721 (toll free)
312-506-0931 (fax)

I am contacting them to file a complaint and to see if they have any power to stop this crap.  You might want to do so as well.  It seems to me that the service providers who provide these numbers for whomsoever is making these weird calls should be legally responsible for them.  In other words, Peerless, AT&T, or whatever entity is providing the number and getting paid for its usage should either crack down on them, or be held legally accountable for the misuse thereof.

I AM GETTING AT LEAST 3 OR 4 CALLS A DAY FROM THIS NUMBER. iF i ANSWER, THERE IS NOBODY THERE, BUT MOST OF THE TIME i DO NOT ANSWER

this number keeps calling no one on the other end.

unwanted calls from 954 606 5646 lists as kids wish

If you have Caller ID and it shows "Courtesy Call" or other unwanted callers, pick up the phone and click the # sign seven or eight times as fast as you can -- that should tell the calling computer that your line is no longer in service and the comp will remove your number.   Good luck.

We have received at least 10 calls from1-954 606 5646 within in the past 6 weeks.Only once did a person mumble/jumble something about Kids Wish. I asked him not to call back. They persist but usually there's no one on the other end. I have Comcast phone service so I called them today and they gave me instructions for blocking and unblocking numbers. It's a complicated procedure but free. I sometimes blow a very loud and piercing whistle into the ear of a telemarketer, phony charity pitch hawker, 'surveyer' or political hack.

Enough is enough.  Getting 2 calls every day, but could not get hold of them to remove my number.  My number is on "do not call" list.  Who can help us!!  Such scammers make good charities look bad.

This call is being dialed by a computer. When the telephone owner answers it will connect with a live telemarketer if one is available at that moment. That person will try and get your "donation" to this fake charity. If all of the scammers are tied up with other calls, you just get dead air and hang ups. You cannot call back to tell them to stop calling because it is originating with a computer. I tried to call AT&T to complain and they are worthless in getting it stopped and explained that they are powerless to do so (really??? it's THEIR phone lines!). I tried to file with FCC to get this to stop because it happens 6 to 8 times each day and all are hangups and they sent me a canned email saying they are "looking into it." Not going to happen. I don't know how to block this call (maybe I have to pay for that service?). I am just waiting for a live person to speak during which time I can tell them to remove my name forever from their list and to never call me back. They are supposed to honor this if you are on "do not call" list....probably won't happen. It is truly annoying and a misuse of telephone privileges.

I GET 5-6 CALLS PER DAY FROM THIS NUMBER.  I DO NOT HAVE CALLER ID BUT CALL *69 TO GET NUMBER BUT CAN NOT REACH ANYONE.

Called today..says courtesy call...no message

Another one of those aggravating will not leave a message call. Wish it to quit.

The guy identified themselves ask Kids Wish,  I asked you meant make a wish? He said no  Kids Wish,  I asked him You meant Kids Wish Network in Alabama? He said no Kids wish from Florida.

So I never heard of this organization, know nothing about them. I told hm that he said they help children who are terminally ill.  I said so does make a wish and they are national known.  He then told me they are affiliated with CRS.  I have no clue who CRS is, never heard of them either.

He wanted 30, 60, or 90 dollars.  I said send me a brochure and he hung up, before getting my address.  I guess I kept him on the line past his 3 minute mark.

I am sure its a scam, if it was one of the recognized national ones they would have that on their caller id other than Fort Lauderdale FL.

Courtesy Call during supper 2 nights in a row at 6:45 pm.  I answer but line sounds dead.  No answer from them.  I'm adding them to my block list, but I'm curious who they are.

Courtesy Call.  9 pm.  Didn't answer.  I went to youtube a couple of weeks ago, and typed in telemarketing calls.  Some very cute recordings came up.  I took one, went to my voice mail, and recorded it.  First you hear music, then a digital voice says, "Please hold, a family representative will be with you shortly".  I kept scrolling back to the beginning and it recorded 5 times.  I saved it as my greeting on my voice mail, and now these stupid people hang up instead of leaving a message.  Anyone who knows me, knows about this voice mail greeting and just waits til I call them back.  It's worked wonders.  I never answer any call unless I recognize the caller i.d.  So bring it on all you damned telemarketers and charity solicitors!  Remember folks, your call is important to us and a family representative will be with you shortly!!!!

Called my home phone at 858 pm called id days kids wish...
