I just got a new telephone # less than a month ago. It rings constantly w/telemarketers, collection agencies, etc. Today, it has rang 7 times, the last two calls were from 201-254-2044. Most of these callers/auto dialers hang up when the answer machine comes on.
I am on the "Do Not Call Registry" but it looks like I am going to have to change my number.
I received a call @ 11:37 a.m. today from 201-254-2044. My answering machine was on and no message was recorded, but the caller ID recorded the number itself. I called the number back at 7 p.m. tonight, because since this morning, I have received an additional 4 calls from an "Unknown Name" and no caller ID number. The calls came in every couple of hours, the last at 6:32 p.m. tonight. When I called 201-254-2044, I received a recorded message that said that this number was not in service and to check the number and call again. If the number is "not in service" then how can someone call from it and have it recorded by Caller ID? We are on the "Do not Call" list and our number is a private residence, not a business.
This type of "one way" phone number is regularly sold by the phone companies to those who would sell their mothers into slavery: telemarketers. The phone companies owe all of us an (1)an appology (2)a year's free service(3) a public flogging of phone company CEO's and other corporate officers. This combination of phone service provider/telemarketer relationship is kind of like when the exterminator brings a bottle of termites to help in the home inspection.
