I have been received voice mails from this number almost every day. It is a pre-recorded message abotu some car warranty crap. I have reported them to the FTC. I suggest you all do the same so we can stop this harassment.
What can I do about annoying or harassing phone calls?
AT&T/SBC/Ameritech Annoyance Call Bureau
AT&T/SBC/Ameritech will position itself to deliver advance services and capabilities in order to determine an unwanted caller. If you are the recipient of numerous harassing, obscene, or threatening telephone calls you need to follow these guidelines in order to help accurately trace unwanted callers:
1. You have received at least two or more unwanted phone calls.
2. If there is a known offender/caller, make sure that is indicated on a/the police report.
3. If the calls that you receive are continuing and you expect more to be received, then you will want to report the calls to your local Police Department non-emergency phone number, if available, and make a report.
4. If you would like your telephone line traced, contact the AT&T/SBC/Ameritech Annoyance Call Bureau at 1-800-769-4099 (Monday-Friday 8 A.M.-5 P.M. Central Standard Time) with the police report case number if you have one, or better yet, call AT&T/SBC/Ameritech at 1-800-244-4444 and ask to have this number blocked and/or removed from calling your account.
AT&T/SBC/Ameritech will inform you of the length of time the trace will be in effect and any charges.
The complaint/case number authorizes AT&T/SBC/Ameritech to conduct a tracing investigation and release any information to your local Police Department. Disposition of the investigation will be reviewed with the complainant if the trace is successful.
In order for the telephone company to “trace” illegal telephone calls that you may be receiving, you MUST contact the Annoyance Call Bureau at their 1-800 telephone number listed above. It is important for you to understand that the telephone company cannot trace any phone calls that you receive without the Annoyance Call Bureau first setting up a telephone trap. Once they have set the trap up, all future calls that you receive will be captured by the Annoyance Call Bureau special equipment that will provide the telephone number of the calling party. The Annoyance Call Bureau will give you instructions on how to report future calls to them.
When you originally contact AT&TSBC/Ameritech Annoyance Call Bureau, they will be asking you a series of questions, including the case number of your local Police Department's report that you filed, along with the contact person’s name and phone number at the department.
You Can Find Out Who's Calling!
Punch the star symbol (*) then 57. This starts a trace on the last call you received. Write down the number you are given.
Or punch the star symbol (*) then 69. This will ring the last number that called you.
As a follow-up, I contacted AT&T/SBC/Ameritech this evening (6-June/3/2008-Tuesday), and I was informed to follow the procedures above. AT&T/SBC/Ameritech is my local home phone service carrier. I use to have a cell phone, but went back to a basic telephone, due to I was paying 3 times as much with the cell as I am now with a regular one. I did add the Privacy Manager Feature to my account, but it only applies/works if the incoming call does not present themselves on your caller i.d. The feature to block up to 10 telephone numbers is not available in my area. Just before I got rid of my Verizon Cell Phone, I was also getting calls from this same company/number. I also receive postal mail from the same damn people. Any other help or assistance with this log, be sure to post here, PLEASE??!!
Got a call from this number, pressed one, usually the call is disconnected,
but today a woman answered. I asked "what company do you work for?"
She hung up on me, lol.
Next time I am going to string them along as long as I can and then turn
my head alittle and say "did you get a good trace on it yet" just to
mess with them.
