Also glad to see FCC and Do Not Call registry are working! I checked and I am on it! I know you have to re-registered after so many years. Getting at least 10 calls a week from this number and others! Way to go FCC and DO-NOT-CALL!
Received a call from that number on March 1. I called back because the area code is for Maryland in which I applied for a job but it gave some message about the number being for promotions only and to use the number provided by sales rep. Either way it is a scam as always. You can file a complaint on the Do Not Call Registry online and input the number which helps.
first call for this number to me. it has got to stop!,,, you do everything that they tell you and all that happens is that one number stops calling and it gets youre number forwarded to another and it starts all over again.
It is the people of Congress who are at fault.
they pass a law that was given to them from the very same people who use these calls, they make sure on the surface it looks like the law is written for the working public but it has loop holes in it for the wealthy groups so they can continue to call and harrass and earn money at our exspense. the Congress gets favors and perks for doing what they ask.
what can we all do? write letters to your newspaper, call your reps in the State and the Federal level. call more than once a day, give them some of what they force on us. only they get rewarded!
I use comcast for my phone, if I go online to my account and then to prefrences, I can block up to 12 phone numbers, and also all unknown and private numbers. They only get through one time, and then I log on and within 2 minutes, stop the call. I also can do the same with my cell phone through Sprint, except that I can block 99 number and data there. Try it.
got a call from 240-720-2040 - called back - recorded message ... 'this is promotions number .. try to use the number provided by sales rep' - same as in other complains.
I googled with the telephone number to find this site.
Why this scam is still continuing inspite of so many complains?
