Received a call from this number and told me i applied for a payday loan (which i did not). My phone has been non-stop for a week now from payday loan company claiming that i applied and another rude caller from a collection agency (with a strong indian accent) harrassing me, claiming to be Atty. Smith then hung up when i asked for their law firm's name and business address. I NEVER applied for a payday loan. Not even once. These need to stop. I dont know how they are getting vital info and how they can get away with this
For anyone who received a call from this number- please read the following. It is inexcusable for anyone to say anything vulgar or impolite, though I think those posts are exaggerations - but think twice when you give someone your phone number. i figured this out when i went to get a cash loan:
Does the National Do Not Call Registry cover all telemarketing calls?
Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all. Calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors are still permitted.
Organizations with which you have an established business relationship can call you for up to 18 months after your last purchase, payment or delivery — EVEN IF YOUR NUMBER IS ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. And companies to which you’ve made an inquiry or submitted an application CAN CALL YOU FOR THREE MONTHS. Therefore, carefully READ any questionnaires or surveys you submit; they may be an attempt to establish a business relationship. Also be careful to READ anything you sign, such as sweepstakes forms or requests for “free” products; they may be attempts to get your written permission.
If you place your number on the national registry, you still can give written permission for particular companies to call you. Alternately, if you have an established business relationship, you still can ask the company not to call you. The company must honor your request, regardless of any prior written permission. And if you don’t put your number on the national registry, you still can prohibit individual telemarketers from calling, by asking each to put you on their company’s do not call list. You should keep a record of the date you make the request.
One more important point: Although callers soliciting charitable contributions do not have to search the national registry, a for-profit telemarketer calling on behalf of a charitable organization must honor your request not to receive calls on behalf of that charity.
This phone number drives me nuts. Have asked to be removed b but they j just use another number and call again. They can't even pronounce my n name correctly which is a simple American name (917) 259-6808.
A call from this number at 4:06 AM EST..same long-winded message as others I have found on my voicemail, these unwanted messages use up my entire voice mailbox and cost me $4.00+ each. A central theme, epa, whitehouse.gov etc. It has got to stop. I can't afford the cost.
