This call went to my answering machine; left no message. I called right back. Man answering was very hard to understand. He wanted Kevin; I told him Kevin does not have this number and has not had it for almost 6 years. Also, my number was on the DNC list and I wanted these calls stopped. He asked for my name, I refused, he asked my SS#, I refused. He said he could not remove my number without that information. I told him I knew the law regarding the DNC, and I would report him if they called again. I'll just have to wait and see.
I just read Barbara's info on how to block a phone number. Thanks, I will start doing this.
Got a call from this group today, they are a scam as far as I am concerned. A kid with an Indian-'ish accent came on the line afte about a 10 second pause (usually this means they are working in a predictive dialer that is either out of sequence, or it is transferring the call between several servers and the time lapse is due to the multiple hops the call route takes).
I knew as soon as the voice came on that something not-so-Kosher was afoot, so I waited for him to has for my wife; I replied she was not at home; he asked for better time to c/b and I asked who he was and what this was regarding; he said it was 'personal business'. I said he was selling something and he got very agitated and started shouting 'no sir! I am NOT selling ANYTHING... " I told him to calm down and to not return a call, ever. I then ended the call.
The caller ID said "Moutain Vie CA and the number was 650-230-1966. Reading the other posts it fits the provile of a debt collector-scam that some of yuou reported. I would treat this call as toxic, give them no information and if they continue to call then block the number as suggested on the first page of these posts.
I looked at the 'company website' for Zenta, they are all over the place with offices in NY, TX, DE, Mubai, India, Thailand... obviously they do not want anyone catching up to them. MANTA has no record of them as a legitmate business either.
650 230 1966 keeps calling... it says "TATA COMMUNICATIONS" on my caller i.d. I have never answered the calls. I won't. How can I get rid of these calls without paying money?
