Got a call from 971-220-1938 a\at 7:15 this evening. They claimed to be the FBI. It was an autoattendant recording about installing a security system, "to hear more press 1 now, to end the call press 9". Sounds like a scam.
If he's calling that often it's time to PRANK him! Get one of those CELEBRITY SOUND BOARDS from the Internet and let him talk to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Detective "Frank Kimble" character!

I'd give anything to record something like this and upload it to youtube! Don't get mad, GET EVEN!!!!
Sure the DNC works. Now you KNOW when you get a call that it's a crook. Before you weren't sure. They COULD have been legit. Now you know they're NOT! Don't take their call because they're trying to RIP you off. How do you know? No LEGITIMATE telemarketer will ignore the DNC. Only CROOKS ignore it.
If you want to get rid of them, get the free Phone Tray program and use your computer to block them. Google "phone tray free" to get the program. You'll need a computer with a telephone modem to read your caller id.
If they're calling your cell phone put their number in your phone book (under the name "IGNORE") and set the ringer to NONE. Problem solved!
Yep, they are CROOKS. That's why they hang up on you. They don't have time to waste on complaints. They're too busy ripping people off. All you've done is waste their time. Hey, GOOD JOB! EVERYONE SHOULD WASTE THEIR TIME! Then they'd not have time to rip people off!
These are robo-calls. A computer is calling EVERY number starting at 000-000-000 and going to 999-999-9999. That's how they "got" your number. The folks at the DNC didn't give your number away. The crooks doing this scam call EVERYONE.
At least when you're on the DNC you KNOW that anyone making a telemarketing call is a criminal. So you should just hang up on THEM!
