Claim to be representing State Farm Insurance.  Don't give out any information to places like this.  They can claim to be anyone, and if you give them any information they can create some serious heartburn.  If they are legit, they would already know the facts.  Don't  fall for any solicitations over the telephone.

You have been calling my number every day since I got this new number. What a pain in the ### you are. Why do you keep calling if you are not going to answer????

STOP you SCAMMER!

i get a call from this number at least twice a day. as early as 9 am.never leave a message. if it important leave a message.stop the call. if i need insurance,i will fine someone. please stop.

I called the number, was greeted professionally, and the lady removed my name from the calling list. Thanks for posting your number to call, that's good business and shows integrity. The reason I looked this up, is because every time I answer, I get hung up on. Anyone else has this problem, call them up and do what I did; get your name taken off their calling list. Not a big deal, and worth the 40 seconds I invested on making sure I don't get these calls again from them.

Correct, the same statement appears on multiple sites because I care about my business and the people it affects. That is why I am active on these forums and thorough, that is why it is posted on multiple forums.

I agree with what you say nolo, but we do not require personal information. We have a name and address, the callers ask about vehicles in the household and other things that our customers can offer you, Joe consumer, a discount or better rate.

We are not a vendor of information, we do not sell our contacts or their information to anyone, I am unaware of any telemarketing service that does such. Lead vendors do, that is a totally different business.

I have a dual bonded T1! It gives great strength and speed! I like it!

I also have legitimate numbers! Hence why caller ID correctly identifies it as my company name and number. I have 125 outbound lines, occasionally some of them when they are assigned, take time to get properly registered through the phone company. Sometimes it says "subway" on the caller ID. I will work on this particular number with the phone company to get it reassigned so you don't get a "disconnected" message, thanks for your input.

This is a canned response, cleverly designed to appear heartfelt and sincere.  The same statement word for word appears on other sites of this type.  One of the previous posts was correct in cautioning against disclosing information to anyone who calls and asks for it.  While legitimate telemarketing businesses do exist, they all sell information that they gather, and many of these types of calls are what is called a 'phishing' or fishing scam.

I received a call from this number by someone claiming to be 'calling on behalf of' statefarm insurance, first red-flag.  When I attempted to question the TSR, and was reluctant to answer her very forward questions, she immediately hung up, second red-flag.  

T1 type of lines are what legitimate businesses use to handle high telephone volume, when you call them back, you never get disconnect messages, they usually just dont even ring.  Strike three.  Legitimate businesses have publicly listed numbers.

Regardless of whether this is a call from a legitimate business or not it is still unwise to disclose any personal info to them because the risk is too great.  People in this business buy and sell info all the time, and not just to other telemarketers but to other businesses as well.  Worst case scenario is that this type of call comes from a scam artist who is trying to 'flesh-out' your profile so that the fraudulent credit application they are attempting to submit in your name will seem more believable.

Yet again, I receive a call from "920-338-9319".  

Yet again, no message left.  Just a hang-up.

The only thing that shows up on my caller id: "920-338-9319"

After the interruption of my work from the unrequested phone call above, I now completely cease my current activities, and procedure to call this exact number back, which only results in the exact same scenario as the last time (see above) --

"The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer in service -- and then a very annoying series of 'fax type' beeps, following with a fast busy signal and finally it hangs up on you"  

-- This is EXACTLY what happens, this is NOT a conspiracy theory (as mentioned above) and it impossible to request who it is, who they are calling on behalf of etc... when they DON'T speak to you, they just HANG UP on you.

-- This is inappropriate and against the law(s).

Time to file complaints with the FTC and other regulatory and industry agencies for violations of the law(s).

You're gullible - just the way they like 'em!

Don't fool yourself - if you didn't call THEM, then you DO NOT give them ANY info!  

And don't line anyone else's pockets by confirming your information, so they can turn around and SELL IT to another company and make money off you, while you sit and deal with all these nonsense calls, interruptions, and the like.

If you wanted the service, product, etc.... YOU would have contacted the place yourself!

Get a Grip "not-a-drama-queen-like-you" and step into REALITY!  

Once you've had your identity stolen, maybe you'll understand these situations and those who are now victims of same.

I understand many people per day, get many phone calls per day, please do not assume that you getting a disconnected number off of your caller ID means it came from JCA. Remember, the only reason people know the name of our company, is because it shows up on caller ID. Disconnected numbers do not show up on caller ID.

I care about my business, my employees, my customers and the general community, which is why I am active on these forums. I keep 70 people employed and and 70 families fed in a tough economy. I will do my best to resolve any issue in which I can.

Benjamin

The problem, caring professional at JCA, is that the phone rings, I answer, no one replies and, after a moment the call is disconnected.  I went to the phone and answered it for no reason.  Thanks ever so much for interrupting whatever I was doing.  No opportunity to get taken off the do-not-call list.  I call back to get taken off the list and am told the number is disconnected.

I know exactly why this happens, too.  You're overloading your call queue and if no operator is available to take the call the computer dials, I get the hangup.  I'll bet your people just love the pace.

I agree

You are a moron. Enjoy your insurance

920-338-9319 shows up as "JCA Invest".  However, by the comments listed below, it apparently is an insurance company.  Why do they dba under "Invest?"  Actually, I don't care.  JCA Investment...Don't call me to sell me insurance or anything else!  Why, because I have insurance, I like my insurance and if I ever need insurance (or anything else) I WILL GO LOOKING.  I don't want to be bothered to answer your phone call, you're a nuisance and I'm NOT interested.  You've called me twice recently...  I have now blocked your number so harrass someone else.

The number to be taken off of our calling list is 920-338-9440. My staff is very courteous and professional. Another way to get taken off the list is to pick up the call and just ask. We can't remove you if we don't talk to you and get asked to be removed.

My business and the reflection it makes is important to me. That is why I monitor these reports and appreciate all the positive feedback, and will do my best to fix the negative feedback.

left message in a weak voice "I need help"

Seriously drama queen, get over it. They ask for an address and vehicle that you drive. You are just an anti-telemarketer. The company calls on behalf of multiple insurance agencies nationwide. They are simply a marketing company and their customers are insurance agents. Ask for the name, address, location and phone number of the agency they are calling on behalf of if you don't believe it but don't spread lies based on your conspiracy theories.

receive calls from this number somewhat frequently lately, never leaves message and when I call the number back it just rings forever

Called us.   Call comes in as "local number" on ID and "920-338-9319".  Does not leave a message.  

Upon calling back the - local call 920-338-9319 - CONVENIENTLY..... you receive the phone company message "The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer in Service".  

If it's legit, you'd certainly promote your company name not just list 'local number', you'd leave a message, and you'd most certainly have appropriate methods for accepting call backs and allowing those YOU HAVE BOTHERED with YOUR unrequested phone call, to CONTACT YOU BACK!!

Do it right - or don't do it at all!

~~ Don't tread on me ~~

My number is also on the Federal Do Not Call List.  We've been on for over two years and yet I daily get calls from 920-338-9319.  Caller ID says "Unknown Name"!!!  So much for your Company identifying itself.  If I wanted solicitation, I would not be on the DNC List!!!  No matter what your line is, it is NOT believable from the evidence I see.

I too am getting these prank calls this week during my favorite ellen degenerate show . i get up answer the phone and no one is there. I thought why? I dont like them and i have my name on the do not call list too. i hope they take my number off too. I had to resort to putting a message in spanish to have them quit calling.

Thanks eveyrone for your feedback, that is why I am active in these forums. I have given our contact number several times for your benefit. We can be reached at 920-338-9440 to ask to be taken off the list, to compliment the professionalism of our callers, to learn more about our services if you are in the insurance or accounting industry or just to vent because you do not like telemarketers!

Yes, 920-338-9319 is one of our 100 or so numbers and has been for years. I have no clue why it occasionally gives the "not in service" response. After 4 years and thousands of calls per day you would think if it was happening to everyone there would be more than a handful of instances. I will check into it. One good guess is sometimes when circuits are busy, they are overloaded, causing an error message.

I never had such a conversation as posted above. The caller ID identifies JCA Investments and the phone number. Both of which are directly connected to us. Not sure how one creates "scam" out of that, and if someone had implied such a thing, I would have politely said "now how does a scam artist keep food on the table and rent paid for 60 families, as well as hundreds of satisfied customers"   :)

If one calls us to have their number removed that request is immediately granted. However, we are one of 30+ companies that does what we do, so you will still receive calls "on behalf of" someone from a separate company.

I have received numerous calls form 920-338-9319.  The phone is often dead when I answer it. The caller ID is only the number itself.   I take it from this discussion that this number actually belongs to a telemarketing company, a extremely inefficient telemarketing company which leaves no messages and doesn't respond to an answered call.

Benjamin:   Please take my number off your list : 202 XXX 2337.  I receive calls but there is never anyone at the other end.  I am afraid to call back because I thought it was a toll number which would have the telephone company dun me for enormous charges.   Thanks

Another Scammer! Ugh! When is this going to end... if the government really wants to take control of something this would be great! STOP THE SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!! Left NO MESSAGE!

Thank you Chris above for noting that the number 920 338 9319 was a number used by JCA Investments. Of course when that number is called, the message responds that number is no longer in service. Obviously a FAKE message to throw one off the track.
I called the number that Chris showed as the REAL contact number for JCA Investments: 920 338 9440. Ben answered. I asked him if JCA Investments operated the number 920 338 9319. He said that it was one of their numbers.
I told him that JCA Investments was therefore a scam and identifying the - 9319 as an operational number proved that it was a scam.
I told him that I wanted my number out of his call list immediately or I would have the Missouri Attorney General file a complaint with the Wisconsin Attorney General. He responded that it would take a week. I told him that if I recieved a call from JCA after one week's time - I would sue.

You need to educate yourself sir. A phone call offering to compare rates in hopes of possibly lowering them is a "phishing scam"? Red flags from insurance agents that do *GASP* telemarketing? They have been doing it for years, it's a boost to our economy and my first job was a telemarketer, as well as two of my kids. A large percentage of telemarketers are kids and it is their first job. Not sure why you are manipulating it into some scenario to fit your own agenda but you kinda sound like you have an
I.D.10-T error you need to deal with. Kids doing  their jobs a phishing scam? LOL, thanks for the great laugh!

The number on my caller ID was jca investment and when I called it back a recording said it was disconected. I simply wanted to know what it was about. I consider thas VERY unprofessional and because of it you have lost a potential customer!

My mom kept getting calls from 920-338-9319 but when I call it back..it says its disconnected.  The caller ID shoes JCA Investments.  Thanks to this forum I called 920-338-9440 spoke to Ben and got her number off the list.  Lets see if it works.
