I got the call from this number about the expired auto warranty. And I hung up. The worst thing is they use different numbers every time. How can I stop this. My number is in Do Not Call registry.
Info on Bellsouth Telecomm Inc. website: FCC Form 1088C
Most people don't know that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) [US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, Part I, § 227] states, in paragraph (b)(1)(B), that "It shall be unlawful ... to initiate any telephone call to any residential telephone line using an artificial or prerecorded voice ... ". Yes, you read that right -- it's illegal to make pre-recorded phone calls.
Of course that doesn't stop telemarketers from doing just that. The question then is, what should I do when I receive one of these illegal pre-recorded phone calls?
The TCPA, in paragraph (c)(5), provides a "private right of action" for violations, (i.e., you can sue the violator), but only if you have "received more than one telephone call within any 12-month period by or on behalf of the same entity". Which means you can't sue until they call a *second* time.
At this point, I'm doing two things:
Fill out and file an FCC Form 1088C (available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/1088C-R.pdf) for each call received (you don't have to wait for a second call before filing a complaint with the FCC).
you MUST call the FTC and report all these numbers as fraud. This is credit card fraud, they want your credit card number. I had them on the phone for 25 minutes and got them irate. They use computers to call and they need to be traced by law enforcement. Also call your phone company and have them trace the IP address. "Do not call" list doesnt work in this case
other related numbers are 904-259-4351, 239-482-3803,305-623-4459

Same as below, prerecorded message about lowering my interest rates. I tried to speak to a representative but when I asked to be taken off their list, they hung up on me.
