I have been getting a rash of calls. This is the newest number today. I am getting between 4 and 10 calls a day from Maryland, Florida and Georgia. All the same type of call, number unknown to me. I do not answer these calls and suggest that you do not answer these calls unless you recognize the number as one of your business or personal contacts. Not only is it identity theft phishing, but possibly cell phone cloning for off-shore usage to the tune of thousands of dollars. You may be surprised on your next phone bill if you answer these calls.
These f***s tortured me for days with multiple calls from multiple numbers. I beleive it is some type of time share telemarketing. Possibly steming from something you signed up for or toured years ago. Finally got a live a**hole on the phone, and asked to be removed. We shall see if this helps.
This m fck are calling me at my house, my cell phone and they just hang up.
Next call I will be in touch with the police and FBI. Criminal harassment is defined as "engag(ing) in intentional conduct which the actor [harasser] knows or has reason to know would cause the victim, under the circumstances, to feel frightened, threatened, oppressed, persecuted, or intimidated; and causes this reaction on the part of the victim. (M.S. § 609.749, Subd. I). Such conduct can include following or pursuing you, returning to your property without your consent, making repeated phone calls, inducing you to make calls, causing your phone to repeatedly ring,
Always call the police so they can take a report or document the incident. Always keep your own record of the date, time and who you spoke with when you called.Request that the police file a report EVERY TIME you report an incident.
If you are receiving obscene or harassing phone calls:
Call your local telephone company to get their advice. There are many advances in telephone service which may allow you to block calls from the harasser or to trace harassing calls. You can also call a service representative of the phone company's Annoyance Call Division from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. M-F. Their toll-free number is 1-800-541-3386.
If you have an answering machine, leave it on so that you can screen your calls. You will also have the person's voice on tape for use as evidence. Save and date the tape for police.
You may decide to invest in Caller ID. This service allows you to see the name and phone number of the caller on a display unit. This allows you to screen your calls more efficiently than an answering machine alone. Caller ID has several other options. You can block incoming calls if the caller has blocked the transmission of their name and number. It is also possible to block calls from a specific phone number, or if the harasser's number is unknown, to block that number immediately after receiving a harassing phone call.
If Caller ID is not an option you wish to explore, there is the option of Call Trace. By dialing *57 on a touch-tone phone or 1157 on a rotary phone, you can trace the phone call. Make a note of the time and date of any calls you attempt to trace and report the call to the Annoyance Call Division. If you receive the call after they have closed, you can report the call the next day. The number is not made available to you, but after successfully tracing three calls you can notify the Annoyance Call Division. If the three calls have been made from the same number, the phone company will notify the caller by letter, warning them that phone harassment is a crime and to stop making harassing calls. If the police are involved, they can obtain the phone number from the phone company.
You can also block harassing calls without having Caller ID by using Call Rejection. If there is a number you want blocked, dial *60 and follow the instructions. If you do not know the number the call is being made from, dial *60 immediately after hanging up from a harassing phone call.
This # started calling me today yesterday it was another # same thing. No answer, yesterday I did a call back and was told no one was available, this is my cell phone.
