They don't need the name of the calling company. They will use the time of the call and YOUR number to back trace the call to its source. Most all of these scam / spam calls are coming from internet phone systems and the number that shows up on your caller ID system is FAKE or SPOOFED so that YOU can't find them or call them back and harass them - but that is NOT the case with the FTC. They can use YOUR number and back trace these vermin right to their home or business.
Any call whether it is internet based or actually telephone based can be traced back to its source. The key is to report EVERY CALL. If the FTC gets enough complaints they can act on them - not enough and the scum get away with it.
Get on the DNC List and report all of the calls that are in violation - they will prosecute - but if you just go to sites like this and post here only, there is NOTHING that can be done from the FTC standpoint.
How can we stop this!!!!!!??? Says they allow lower interest rate. I have NO charges. How do they get our numbers? Cannot call back. Very frustrating. If "do not call" list doesn't work, what does? Finally pushed 3 to stop calls.
This is one more outsourced credit collection agency harassing me for people I don't know, have never heard of andhave not had this Tel. # for at least 17 years. When I call them I am reassured that my number will be deleted from all computer generated call lists. Clearly this is NOT HAPPENING.
Daily this place calls, it is annoying I've tried pushing 3 to stop them, 1 to talk to them, they just hang up. Finally I've reported them for robocalls on the do not call list site, we'll see what happens now.
I spoke directly to the FTC and they said that you need to report the calls on the do not call list as a complaint they can't do anything when you report them on this type of web site. so please please when you get these calls go to the do not call list.gov and report them there
