The scam callers are calling later and later hours this call came at 7:30pm No message Followed by another number 20 min later at 7:50 with a (626)507-7093 number No message
These [***] have many numbers in the 213 area code, this one 213-232-2577, and others like 213-266-XXXX. They call me several times a month. If you call the number back (to tell them off) it says that the survey you were called for is now finished. This is a stupid attempt to appear legal since surveys are an exception to the Do Not Call List. The problem is that the Federal Trade Commission, which keeps this list, does not enforce the penalties for violating it. Unless and until they do there's not much you can do. Pressing 9 to be removed from the list, as you are invited to do after the phony survey message, will not work. Even if it did they'd still call you from another of their numbers. If you don't live in the 213 area code or know anyone there then don't answer any call from there--assuming you have caller ID.
