Caller ID: Cellular Call
Number: 717-203-8889
Date: February 4, 2014
Time: 1:24 pm Eastern Time
My phone has been listed on both the Federal Do Not Call List and my state's Do Not Call List since they were first available and these _____ spammers still keep calling. I have even talked with attorneys in my state's Attorney General's Office and they say they frequently run into complications identifying the location of spammers making these calls. They said they identified some of the spam callers and took legal action against them with heavy fines, but it was like playing "wack-a-mole"... you stop them and they just pop up again with a different name and/or geographic location.
I live in a major city and there are NO businesses named "Toll Free Caller" listed in the phone directory that is several inches thick.
Finding these scammers would be a good job that the NSA could do that would be useful for everyone and help the Attorney Generals in various states find these lowlife scum that prey on people to steal from them.
Never answer a call with a bogus name you don't know and never answer a call if you don't recognize the caller as a friend, family member or place of business ... Don't Answer The Phone! Let it Ring!

Keep getting calls from this number and others. I'm on the Do Not Call List and have been for 2 years, but evidently nothing works anymore. Wish there was a way we could stop all these telemarketing calls. If anyone knows how, let me know....

People are going about this all wrong. The gov't can't do anything to stop this even if they would try to enforce the DNC list. So long as this is a cheap tactic that gets some results it will continue. My solution is simple. Take the call. Keep their operator on the line as long as possible. Never commit to anything and never give any personal information. This is a minor inconvenience for what I see as a great potential benefit.

Looked up what telephone company owns the phone number. Seems to be T-Mobile. Called their customer support number and told them I reported the number to the National White Collar Crime Center and Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
Give T-Mobile a call at +1 800-866-2453!

2nd call for just today. Pressed 1 and was asked "Did you press 1 to lower your interest rate". Me: "No, I pressed 1 to tell you to take me off of your list. Stop calling." Please use link above to report them to the National White Collar Crime Center and Internet Crime Complaint Center.

BIG credit card scammer!! BEWARE!!

Received this call again which I blocked. If you try to call the number you will get a message saying it doesn't accept incoming calls! Anyone who doesn't accept incoming calls should not be allowed to make outgoing calls!
| breezy 2014-02-08 17:50:28 Unknown |
Just got a call from this same number. No name on the caller ID - just the number. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. I'm sure it was from a telemarketer.
| KenK 2014-02-08 17:21:22 Telemarketer |
Got a call yesterday. BLOCKED!
| Deb 2014-02-07 22:33:22 Unknown |
I got a call today from 717-203-8889, I didnt answer it since I didnt recognize the are code or number! Call came at 10:28 a.m. Getting pretty tired of the 209 & 717 calls!!
| Irritated Citizen 2014-02-07 21:58:06 Debt Collector |
Answered a call because I thought it was a friend from PA. Heard a recorded message saying "This is an important call from Card Services....Then went on to say, "Hold on as a representative will get on the line" I hung up quickly because we don't have any problems with our credit cards & ours would identify themselves, not some ambiguous general name. I hate this when we have to start being alarmed because we answered a flipping' telephone call! Good grief!
| Mart 2014-02-07 20:50:17 Telemarketer |
I actually waited for the operator to tell him to take me off his list and when I did he said "Make me, b***h", and hung up on me. This is absolute insanity that these people somehow operate above the law. If I did that to someone I'd be arrested for harassment. I'm again complaining to no call and Centurylink but it never seems to accomplish anything. The landline is just about history...

called & left no message

It is credit card related - a robocall from "Credit Card Services." This call occurs frequently under a host of different phone numbers (likely masked) and IDs (this time it was merely "Out of Area"). We can only hope that the FTC eventually slams them. Might as well file a Do Not Call complaint.
| Gail 2014-02-07 16:09:07 Unknown |
Just got a call from this number--interesting because I accidentally answered a scam call yesterday and have received 3 more in 18 hours, all from different numbers. Don't answer the phone if you don't recognize the number!
| Bull 2014-02-07 15:20:37 Telemarketer |
Nomorobo.com takes care of this. 1 ring and then they take over. They can spoof the #s all they want, I never answer and each # goes to Nomorobo who sends them a dial tone indicating a dead #. Drastically reduced the # of these calls and it's free.
| HoovieToo 2014-02-06 22:41:10 Unknown |
Just received the call from the same number as others, I just ignored the call.

Got two calls today and one yesterday! From a T mobile phone from Lancaster,PA! They would say that they could lower our credit card bills! They gave no name for the person that is suppose to own what credit card!!!! SCAM!!!!!!
| Larry B 2014-02-05 18:31:46 Telemarketer |
Just received the same call, with caller ID stating "Cell Phone PA". Same old scam about lowering credit card interest rates, so this time I decided to press "1" to speak to a live operator. I politely listened to the offer and then even more politely told the you lady to go "F" herself and called her a low-life P.O.S..
Interrupt my day with nonsense like that and risk the repercussion.
