Called 122/2015, Sunday morning!
I hate Verizon in the Maryland/DC area. While visiting North Carolina recently, my host received ZERO spam calls, wow! They have AT&T UVerse service. Why can't ALL phone companies do that?
I missed a call from 301-842-7252 from with caller ID displaying: Clear Spring, MD on my home phone @ 4:30 PM without leaving a voice mail/message. After conducting an exhaustive search with reverse engineering on this phone number and other websites, I learned it’s a tape recorded call from Betty of Carpet Cleaning in Clear Spring, MD. This is a new cell phone number assigned to me two days ago, so it is amazing that I am getting robocalls already. By responding to phone messages to request to be removed from their call list will only generate further unwanted robocalls. Best practice is to avoidance or report these annoying robocalls and/or avoid taking phone calls that you do not recognize, especially those calls that hang-up before going to voice-mail or fail to leave a voice message.
Suggest you contact the Better Business Bureau that Consumers reported automated phone calls. This particular caller ID number registers as a land-line from Aspen Hill, Bethesda, Bowie, and Clear Spring, MD, but may originate from a variety of different phone numbers. Consumers need to be aware that ‘web surfing’ on the internet to advertised special offerings, or $100 gift card to products/services will generate a “Call List” that can be bought or sold to Third Party or unnamed businesses. BBB warns consumers to use extreme caution and refrain from providing personal information including debit or credit card information to unknown or unverifiable parties. If you are on the Federal Do Not Call List and have received these calls you may file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/council/
Recommend you register your phone number with the FCC “Do Not Call” registry. Continue to file your complaints with the FCC, Justice Dept., and/or Phone Service Providers of these Robocalls start prosecuting for violating the FCC Do Not Call registry.
Thanks for the info above. I have received calls from Betty before. It's a pre-recorded message with what sounds like an older woman. I hang up right away but find these calls extremely annoying. I am on the DO NOT CALL list and it doesn't matter, obviously.
