Thanks for taking the time to provide this information.  Even with people like that, it makes me feel better that there are still people like you and others on this site helping strangers resolve this nuisance.

if their # appears on my called ID.

The government can make the telephone company that provides service to this number cut off the service.  Why aren't they doing that?  Confiscate the number which is being used for illegal purposes.  Make the telephone service providers responsible for who they provide service to.

This company keeps calling me too.  I finally answered.  The company's name is USLifecare but I can tell you he is not from the US.  It almost sounded like someone was disguising his voice.  I told him I am on the DoNotCall list and take me off their list.  He hung up on me before I finished the sentence.

They call me twice every other day between 7 PM and 7:30PM.  If you do not pickup they will not leave a message.  So that's what I do now.

Seems that the cage door for time-wasting psychos is still open!

I appreciate the info given by Utah Cell Phone.

My current simple remedy has been to turn my ring volume down and never answer
numbers I don't know, even locals. Hey, if they really want me for something legit, they can
leave a message.

But they never do.

I get these calls every day - some times 2-4 times a day. Caller ID V30721394600217. I don't answer but it is getting very anoying especially when I keep getting unwanted calls from several other telemarketers almost every day! Someone has to put a stop to this.

This number calls me pretty much at least once a day for the past few weeks. It's driving me nuts!! I finally picked up yesterday and today and both times it just hangs up on me and goes "beep beep beep". So I just called the number back and it said "We are calling you for telemarketing purposes, if you wish to have your number removed..." So I dial 1 to have my number removed then it asked for 10 digit phone number then said it will take 72 hours to remove number from their list. I sure hope they really will remove my number!!

I keep getting calls from this number: 9712565511 and the name on the top says:  V13111105700179.. The let it ring until it goes to the answering machine and never leave a message.  It gets really old when I am doing something important and I get calls from some weird number that I do not know.

I don't know how to make them stop calling!

The D-bag that called asked for someone else.  When I tried to be polite and said they had the wrong number they jumped into their shpeal about medical care or whatever.  He was very persistent and rude and didn't care when I told him he was calling a cell number.  I think someone should sit there and have a nice long conversation with one of them and then send them a bill for the time.

Hi people,

I am trying to organize a way to stop these unscrupulous people from calling
our "do not call" registered phones day and night. It costs us money, time,
and energy at a time that we as a nation have little or none of to spare.
We have to raise awareness of what's going on and stop them.

1) The reason that these people can call you while you're on the DO NOT CALL
registry is straight forward.  These people harassing you aren't in America
and aren't subject to any do not call regulations!  Well if they aren't in
America, how are they calling with domestic phone numbers you ask?  Major
USA telecom companies have reseller businesses where they resell VoiP phone
services to consumers all over the world and they use virtual phone numbers
that have American phone number exchanges. Why then are these American Telecom
companies providing these foreign people with phone services to harass American
consumers and use the services for illicit activities?  The truth is they're
not, in fact most of the major American Telecom companies aren't even aware of
who is using the services and what they're being used for as they're reselling
them to different foreign vendors who then sell the service to foreign consumers.

So the question then becomes, what are my options and what can I do to prevent this?
I have had some success using method #1 (below) and re-record your voice mail with
the VC_SIT tone to fool the autodialer.

2) Answering the phone, calling them back and pressing "1" to be removed only
confirms that they have a real person on the phone. I believe they have "war dialed"
or pilfered from social media, or in some cases stolen from the telco. If you've
answered or called back, they now know they have a real phone number and it only
makes you get targeted for more calls, I've managed to get a second phone on their
list via calling back from another line.

3) I found this http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com/ link which has an interesting
discussion on the topic of these scam calls. While it is specific for the Pacific
northwest, it does shed a light on a murky topic. Potentially, the telco equipment
used to do this is making the rounds and we need to keep after them.

4) Here is a growing list of the numbers they have used (spoofed). When I get another
call from an unfamiliar number, I immediately google that number and usually it is
here on this web site. I then know that I got called by another scam/telemarketer scum bag.

971-256-5511
202-316-4793 (their new number as of today)

As they add new numbers, I'll update this list.

Actions we can take:

1) There is a simple way to stop any automatic predictive dialer from any calling
phone line.

Get a telephone answering machine:
Wal-Mart, AT&T 1739 Adjunct Answering Machine System $16.46
Target, AT&T DECT 6.0 Cordless Answering System (EL52100)  $29.99
Radio Shack AT&T Corded Digital Answering Machine $19.99
etc...

or re-record your outbound message (play it from your computer's speakers)
then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VC_SIT.ogg to hear the 3 tones played twice.

Press RECORD and play the tones from your computer speaker into your microphone on the
answering machine, or your cell phone when you re-record your voice mail message.
After the 3 tones are played twice, begin your personal voice recording:

BOOP, BOO, BEEP pause, you have reached (your phone number) we are not available to
take your call at this time. Please leave your name and phone number and we will call
you back as soon as possible.

If you are home, when you hear the name and phone number, you can pick up the phone
if you wish to talk to the caller. Otherwise the telemarketer dialer will automatically
remove your number from their fish list. This also works for cell phone voice mail,
except you won't be able to hear them until you listen to the voice mail.

General Info: SIT Tones
There are eight Special Information Tones or SITs played before telephone company
recorded announcements. They are used to tell automated dialing equipment the call
did not complete.

The VC_SIT tone indicates: Vacant Code; this number is not in service, so remove
this number from your calling list, (however your number really is in service, you
simply fooled the auto dialer into not calling again). I can tell you that since I
have done this on my phone, the volume of calls has dropped drastically. I just got
my first call in a month, and in the prior month I only had one call then too. THIS
SEEMS TO WORK! Update, I am suddenly on their list again after months of being off,
I have been called three times this week and once last week.

2) To help on my phone, I've created a trash contact which has a silent ring tone
and each time they change their spoofed number to a new one, I add them to this contact
so at least I can continue my meetings and meals without interruption once I have
their new spoofed Caller ID number. It helps, a little.  If I do not recognize the
called, or it is private, or no number, or even a wild number, (I've also been called
by number 69, and 488, and a few other incomplete numbers), I don't even answer. I
pull a browser, check google against that number, if it turns up here, I add their
number to my trash contact list, enter a do not call complaint,
( https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2 ),
and update my phone list here to help to get the word out on this number.
Register your phone at donotcall.gov.

3) There is no one here that can stop the calls, you have to take action yourself.
Forget Do-Not_Call or FCC or BBB or Attorneys General, use the VC_SIT code to
start your voice mail message, let your contacts know to expect that tone at that
start of your voice mail, and then give it some time to get the autodialers to m
ark your number as vacant.
