These god damn pricks have called me 6 times in one day -never say a word and then hang up. I want them found and I want them all to be dismembered. The worst kind of people

These calls come mostly from India. They are mostly online prescription drug companies but, as it appears from these posts, they have expanded their marketing to other parasites as well..... . The area codes are spoofed to look like they're from thr US using readily available software.
This means that threatening them, reporting them to the attorney general, the FCC, the FTC, (or any other agency) will get you absolutely nowhere. The US government won't spend a microsecond trying to chase down telemarketers in some remote spot of India, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc.
Virtually all of these calls go to mobile phones. If you have a smartphone, get one of the many call blocker apps on the market. Lots are definitely available for Blackberry, iPhone, and Android.... Likely others as well. How most of the call blocker apps work is that known Spam callers are automatically either hung up or sent directly to voice mail. Any number can be added to your personal blacklist, and the number will be subsequently blocked. When I add a number to my blacklist, I usually come to this site and post it as well.
These scumbags are frustrating but, unfortunately, the above is really best you can do. Good luck!
We have had calls from names like The American Diabetic Assistance, National Diabetic Assn, American Diabetic Club and today this no and on the caller ID is was from Hello People and some other diabetic club. I have gone to the length of having Privacy Manager on my phone and for a number of these harassing calls it has helped. But the catch is if there is a number then the call goes through. I have reported this to the FCC and to our congress critter in DC and today I told the boiler room goon I am ready to sue them, we are on do not call but that doesn't work either.
Why can't the the states and congress DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE SCAMS. I am ready to jerk the phone out of the wall!
