I recieved a call from this number with an automated message by "Joan from Dental Care." I attempted to extract some more information out of the telemarketer since I have a burner phone number I can get rid of so I pushed 1 to be connected to an agent. I was connected to "Stan" who attempted to sell me Careington 500 plan for $19.50/month. Eventually, I got a call back number: 813-681-7180. He hung up when I asked him to remove my number. Note, it's possible that this is a scam and not truly from Aetna. They have posted a message to that extent here: http://www.aetna.com/individuals-families/fraud-alert-phishing-scam.html
If you really want to get rid of the telemarketers, get more information out of them! You can take them to court and sue them for $500 per violation but only if you get their information. Gather that info and post it here so we can take down them all!

It's so simple. I have the Digitone Blocker on my business line - the Digitone can block ENTIRE AREA CODES INCLUDING THE 201. Currently, I have 40 area codes blocked - along with a bunch of individual numbers.
For my home line, I have the new Panasonic phone that blocks 250 numbers.
Buy a call blocking phone or device - they're inexpensive and they work!
when u have relatives living all over U.S. it is hard to use the block area codes service from your residence . I am on the fcc national do not call list but it isn't doing any good.
As usual, they're spoofing numbers as usual, which is why attempts to call them back fail. Hard to be found when the numbers you claim to be calling from don't exist. I reached the point with these "medical alert system" scammers last week in which I pressed the number to be connected to someone and lit into them. They hung up and a few minutes later, I received another call from them (listed as "unknown name unknown number) and knew it was them so I lit back into to them.
Perhaps if we all start pressing the option to be connected and as soon as they pick up, blow one of those air horns into the receiver, these scammers will give up. If you can't hear, you can't call up folks,,,,
