Who called from 2403194469

Keep calling, never leave a message.

Spam phone calls;
I get too many annoying calls like this mostly every day. The government's Do Not Call is useless!
I am glad that my Sprint phone allows me to tag these numbers on a reject list and never to hear
from that number again. Problem is the clowns keep changing number. When that same number
calls the next time I do not know it and it will go to my voice mail. If they do call and stay on the line
my outgoing announcement says if you are a telemarketer, "Hang the hell up now".
These calls are mostly from SPOOF numbers, here is how they do it!

Why does the government do anything about it?

Quote:The government's Do Not Call is useless!
The Do Not Call Registry is not a magic switch attached to your phone line, that will block calls.  It is NOT a call blocking service.

The DNC list can help stop calls originating from legitimate, registered telemarketers who have paid to subscribe to the list.
Your calls were not from legitimate, registered telemarketers.Therefore, the DNC list cannot stop those calls.

The DNC list does not automatically block calls. It is NOT a call blocker! Instead, it provides a list of  "do not call" phone numbers to telemarketers who registered their businesses with the FCC, and who pay a fee for the list.  The DNC list administration is supported by these fees.

The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations,  charities, and some companies with preexisting business relationships, as well as debt collectors and certain nonprofit organizations, but these organizations usually have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).

The DNC list is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those telescum are not registered, do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
It can stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.  Just think ... if there were no DNC, you would be receiving incessant calls from BOTH legitimate and spamming telemarketers!

If a caller does not leave a message, the call is NOT a violation of the DNC rules!

The DNC itself has no enforcement authority - they forward complaints to the appropriate agency.

There is no significant drain on your tax dollar because the DNC is funded by the fees they charge registrants.

Click on this link, to read the Congressional Research summary of "Telemarketing Regulation: National and State Do Not Call Registries".
https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43684.pdf

The following page states the FCC's DNC Registry applies to both intrastate and interstate telemarketing calls:

However, to confuse things, this page states the DNC Registry applies only to interstate telemarketing calls:

Remember, the FCC's Do Not Call site is a good one to report unwanted calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers.   To report spammers and scammers, visit the FTC site, at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

If the reporting site you wanted is not in the above list, try this one:

If you receive calls even after reporting them (and waiting a sufficient time), then you should consider using a call blocker app, device or service as your first line of defense.  Google "call blocker" to see such things at Amazon or other sites.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

Report your callers here, not just to the DNC alone:
