Tired of these calls? Here's my plan to "give back". All you need is a computer with a fax modem. USB fax modems are available from Amazon for less than $20. Then let your computer return some of these calls.
Simply create a document in a word processor and then print it to your fax queue. You will be asked what number the fax modem should call. Make the document at least 20 pages long. You can generate an empty 20 page document by simply adding 19 page breaks. If you have a message you would like to send, insert it between the page breaks. This document will work for any phone number but your message will only be seen if you send it to another fax machine. The sci-freak headquarter's fax number is 1-323-960-3508. You will probably want to send several copies of your document.
But don't stop there. You can also send this fax to a non-fax phone number. Queue up a lot of copies of your document to the other numbers listed below. Your fax modem will become your very own mindless zombie robot dialing the numbers over and over and over. Sound familiar?
Other numbers to try:
1-323-960-3500 (this is the main headquarters number)
1-323-960-3543
1-323-953-3273
1-323-953-3339
1-323-953-3340
1-323-580-5513
1-323-580-5520
1-323-386-5697
1-323-888-6200
I am not a Scientologist, nor are any of my family or friends and none of us ever have been. As far as I know I have never personally known one. They call here asking for people I've never heard of. I've had this phone # at this address for years. The people who lived here previously were devout Catholics -- before them there was no structure here. The person who had the phone number prior to us was none of the people they asked after. I figure for them to be chasing after someone who may have had the number at any point in time they'd have to go back at least fifteen years. Today they called just before 10:00pm. They identified themselves as being with the billing department. This means they were pretending to be attempting to collect a debt. Calling that late for such a purpose is against the law; even one second after 9:00 would violate the law. This cult makes me want to puke.
The # 323-580-5520 has called everynight at the same time ( my son's bed time so I'm busy and can't answer) for a week. They leave a message "it's Lisa from the Chruch of Scinetology". I had them remove me from their list 8 years ago, looks like that worked. The worst mistake I ever made was going with a friend to one of their meeting. That's all I went 1 time. We'll last night they called my landlord wanting my info. It was 9pm our time. He has small kids too. This is not acceptable behavior.
It's not the lady or Scientology as a whole that individuals here are protesting, it's the Scientology call centers. I've had three different phone numbers from changing services. Without my permission, the call centers obtained my new phone numbers. They also call my mother's house asking for updated addresses and a phone number, which is illegal. I'm not sure which religious laws they use to continue to pursue people who've made the mistake of placing their name on a list, for various reasons, but if they were a for profit organization, they are violating consumer laws. I've met some very nice & well-intentioned Scientologists. It's those who call in a manner that can be classified as harassment who need to stop.
For 3 years now I have had repeated phone calls from various phone numbers that are all Scientology people. The above number is just the latest. This guy called, my husband answered and said I wasn't here and then 5 minutes later the guy called again.
3 years ago I was actually nice to them when they called but firmly said I was not interested in persuing any further activities with Scientology including buying books or anything else. They would not take "no" for an answer and just kept calling several times a week and sometimes more than once in a day.
I tried getting nasty with them. I told them to take me off of their calling list. I finally prescribed to "caller ID" but I can't answer any call from any number that I don't recognize because these people are also using their personal phones to make these harrassing calls. After over a year of not even answering the calls, they have pretty much stopped leaving messages but they still call at least twice a week.
These people are brain-washed into believing they are trying to "save" me and that eventually I will cave-in and accept their services or books or whatever they are selling.
Frequent calls, about some survey I may or may not have taken, 30 years ago. I certainly did not give them my current number! I have told several of the callers not to call. They chill out for a few weeks , and then it starts right up again, but with a different dupe on the other end of the line. Last caller tried three times in 10 minutes, and finally gave up when I said, "Look! Don't ever call me !"
