After I received the latest no-one-on-the-other-end call (Clarksville, MD 301-329-5066), I called our phone company and complained. The agent was very understanding and helpful. She provided two suggestions for me to try. First, contact the Unlawful Call Center at 800 518-5507 to report the no-one-on-the-other-end call number appearing on your phone or CID. If you want to try the agent's second suggestion, try the following:
-> after receiving the unwanted call, dial 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,#
-> and then repeat this same series of key dialing including the # key,
-> and then hang up.
I have not tried this process but will try it after I receive my next no-one-on-the-other-end call.

Verizon has an "Unlawful call center", but the number you gave is NOT that call center!
What phone company or government entity uses that number?
What is the name of YOUR phone company?
Oh ... here are legal examples of unlawful calls ... the "no-one-on-the-other-end call" does not appear:
Threat to Life (yours or someone else's) Bomb Threats Bodily Harm Excessive Obscene or Harassing Calls (The definition of excessive varies by state but generally means more than two to five calls.) Kidnapping
Also, tell us more about that series of numbers to dial(the second suggestion) ... that is definitely a new series for us, and I know of NO large phone company that suggests it!
Please reply to this post to give us more information!
