This number continuosly calls my house saying that I can lower my credit card rates. I don't even have any credit cards! When I press 9 to speak to a customer service rep, I politely ask that they remove me from their calling list and they hang up on me before I even finish speaking. The number is constantly on my caller ID.
These people also call using the id of "Bouton, Clinton" 407-682-2241. Report them to your states attorney general if you are on the "do not call" list.
This guy keeps calling about "lower your credit card rates"
*69 reports that the number that is doing the calling is 305-000-3789. 305-000-3789 doesn't even work.
This last time he called, I pressed 9 to speak to a person. I asked for a phone number I could contact him with. He gave me 888-474-3562 which is a number for a dating service.
I told the guy on the phone that I reported this call a few times. He angrily replied with "Did they do anything? See if we were not legit they would have shut us down. We have not been shut down. So we are legit."
Then I come on here and find out that he is using a spoofed number.
Why do this if you are legit?
1. He is ignoring the do not call registry. He is violating the law by calling numbers on the do not call registry. Legit?
2. He will not remove my number from his list after being told by me to remove. Legit?
3. He is using spoofed caller ID numbers. Legit?
4. He provided me with a fake contact number. Legit?
I contacted my phone company and they want me to file a police report and then they will enable *57. Every time I get one of these calls, I am supposed to dial *57 which will gather information on the last caller. After three *57's they will send the information to the police referencing the police report I filed. Sucky thing is they don't give me the information! This guy knows the police aren't going to do crap about an annoyance call unless it's about bomb threats, kidnapping, or threats to life or bodily harm.
The guy was really confident when he said "Did they do anything?"
He knows nobody is going to do anything!
1. Most people will not do anything and live with the constant annoyance.
2. Some people report the fake number like I did. Nothing will ever happen doing that.
3. There will be very, very, very small numbers of people that file the police report. Nothing will ever happen doing this.
So this guy can confidently say "Did they do anything?"
He knows he can get away with this and there is nothing anyone can do.
Why do phone companies allow spoofing of numbers? What good could ever come from this? If this was unintentional by having crappy telecommunications technology, upgrade it. Yeah - cost money. Why can't I block certain phone numbers from calling me? Since the beginning of the phone people have been having problems with prankster and telemarketers that won't stop calling. Why hasn't the tech been upgraded to allow the viewing of real numbers, automatic blocking of calls from people that don't want their number shown, blocking of specific phone numbers specified by me, etc.
Why can't I get the real number of the person that called me at specific date and time? The police can do it when someone has been murdered. IT IS MY PHONE. IT IS MY TIME. IT IS MY SLEEP BEING DEPRIVED. I want to know the real number of the person that is called me. It's my phone. If you don't want me to know the number, simply don't call me. It's ridiculous. If I had the real number, I could report it. If I had the real number I could shut it down by doing what he is doing to me until he removes my number. What am I suppose to do? Get a new number? Then wait until it starts on that number too. This crap needs to stop. I guess the only reason to not provide information on the person that called you is to keep them from being "fixed" outside the law because the law won't do anything.
Call almost daily claiming to lower our credit card interest rates. When I informed them that I'm on the national do not call list, the woman said to me "your mom is full of [***]." Can you believe this?
Received this call in the past, but tonight was the worst episode ever! At 5:58 PM, my phone rang with the number, 1-305-000-3789, on my caller ID. When I answered, I got the usual recorded message, telling me to press 9 to speak to a rep. When I pressed 9, a man came on the phone and started talking about how he could lower my rate, etc. I told him sternly that I wanted to speak to his supervisor. He said, "How does it feel to want?". Told him it felt great. He changed his tune and asked if he could help. I asked to speak to his supervisor and when the "supervisor" came on the line (same guy, not a different person) I told him I was on the do not call list and I wanted him to remove my number from the list and not call back again. His response was that I should tell my wife to remove her [body part] from his [body part]!!!!!!!!!!
So help me God, if I could have reached through the phone, I would have ripped every ounce of his skin off.
This is beyond harassment. If the previous posts are true, and the police (and/or FCC) can't or won't do anything about it, what's the plan? If I answer the phone when the criminals call and tell them I'm FBI and that the call has been traced, I can be charged with impersonation. And the thing is the criminals HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER TO REPORT ME IF I SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR DEROGATORY OR HARASSING!!!
I invite any comments or ideas that anyone may have in regards to doing something about this. And I'm talking about real results, not a pointless effort. Thanks for listening.
