This site is simply a sounding board for people to vent and inform others of scam telemarketing calls they receive. There is no authority associated with the 800notes site to stop these callers. In order for people to collectively stop these type calls they must act together - and TAKE ACTION! It doesn’t do any good to complain about a caller on this board unless you then take the next step and do something about it! The caller ID number is usually a ‘Spoof Number” – A Fake! Never, never, ever engage the caller or call back the number. The false robocallers will then capture your number as a ‘live one’ and use it over and over and sell it to other scammers. The same goes if it prompts you to ‘press a key’ to ‘opt out’ of their calling lists, or be transferred to someone, as this will only ‘log’ your number as a working one and make it ripe for future calls and to be sold to other scam companies as well.
The best option is simply to hang up, keep your own list of calling numbers with dates and times and report them to the FCC below. There is space on their complaint form to list several calling dates and times of a repeat caller.
The DO NOT CALL list is worthless, they do not act on anything, just build a database of numbers.
In order to do something to help stop these type calls, everyone - EVERYONE needs to file an online complaint directly with the FCC. If they receive enough complaints about a particular number - they will act on it. Do it today and pass along the info:
I have received calls from 301-232-5591 repeatedly. I did listen to the entire message because some unsolicited calls give you the option to stop receiving calls. First I saved this number in my contacts, then I turned on the BLOCK SENDER option. Now I won't have to be bothered by this again!
