I have been getting calls from this number for months. Sometimes twice a week. I never pick up on the call.
My answering service picks up the call. This call comes up on caller ID as CARIBOU-207-493-2647 ME. It has also came from another number with the same message!
I also have a do not call list on my phone number. I have an unlisted number with the phone company, i pay extra to have it unlisted!
I only answer one spam call per number and then I block it. However, on the calls I answer (only because I can't tell for sure if it's spam or not), I stay on the line till the call disconnects. And I never push any buttons - I think that makes them call more. But I figure the least I can do, if I have the time and it's not on my cell (using minutes), is to keep their line tied up. That way, hopefully, it will be a little bit longer before that line can be used to bother someone else. If everyone did that maybe fewer calls would be generated, hurting them financially :-)
I see on my caller ID they called, but I wasn't home. I will report them to the FCC since my number is on the do not call list. I encourage everyone else to do the same (https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2).
Could you please have something done about this mess. I'm so tired of these telephone calls from these credit card scammers. Even when I opt out they still continue to harass me and when I finally get someone on the phone to tell them to stop calling me, they hang up on me.
Now they are calling my cell phone. My number is listed on the do not call list. The calls always come around dinner time. I opted out but I bet they will keep calling me.
I have been getting repeated calls from this number for weeks. I usually don't answer, but last night a call came in after 9pm so I did, and it was a recorded message about "lowering your credit card interest." Today I got another call and this time I listened all the way through hoping to eventually speak to a live person. I was given the opportunity to select "1" to speak to a real person. A man came on the line and I told him I am on the do-not-call registry and told him to remove my number from their lists. HE REFUSED. He actually flat out said "NO." He was arrogant and smart-mouthed and said "Do you know what company I'm calling from?" "How do you know we don't have a prior business relationship?" I said that what I do know is that they have to remove me if I request it. And he said no again, and then said, "How about if I call you to tomorrow to see if your attitude has changed?"
The number shown on my caller ID is 207-493-2647 but no name comes up with it. A reverse directory search did not come up with a name either. A web search came up with this page.
I have filed complaints with both the Do Not Call Registry and the FCC. At this point, combining the incessant number of calls with the unprofessional behavior of the person on the line, I think they've progressed from telemarketing to HARASSMENT. Though seeing just the number of complaints listed here - and I'm sure there are many, many more - I don't hold much hope of anything actually happening to stop these people.
