Call from this number on my cell; I know 312 is Chicago area code and I was expecting a call from a friend who's there for a couple of days, so I answered. It's a recorded message about raising my electric rates in January. Hung up. Another scam.
312-340-5562 Caller ID is the phone Number 11:26am 8Jan2015 - This looks like a scam to get peoples phone number for sales of their calling lists to other criminal scammers. All of the posts for this number are calls and hang-ups with no humans ever on the phone line. You may have just added your number to the scammer call list. Never respond in any way to a robo call.
I have been out all day and found 3 calls on my caller ID recorder. They are making up for no calls during christmas season. All of the calls were blocked.
Let's sink these SOBs with our call blockers!!!
* HOW TO DEFEAT HARASSMENT/ROBO CALLS!! CALL BLOCKERS WORK!!
**
I research a harassment/scam caller then post this msg every time a robo number calls. NEVER press X to opt out, and NEVER respond in any way because it just adds your name to multiple robo calling lists.

The federal no-call list is a joke - the government does nothing. The phone company wants the money from robo companies and will do nothing to stop the harassment/robo calls. Local police do not have the manpower or technology to track/block these calls. Most robo callers are criminals/scammers. Here is a one-time relatively low cost way to beat those harassment/robo calls.
* *
I have now defeated >90% of harassment and robo calls. I went on-line to Amazon and purchased an in-line "CPR CALLBLOCKER"! It has an inventory of up to 1200 numbers in your call blocker list. Be careful in setting up the list or you get unexpected blockages of valid incoming calls. Start by blocking all calls using caller ID’s of UNAVAILABLE, PRIVATE, or WITHHELD. I have also blocked many robo area codes which have no friends or family – 201, 212, 231, 239, 303, 304, 305, 307, 312, 321, 323, 331, 347, 360, 401, 478, 502, 505 ,513, 516, 518, 605, 608, 620, 630, 646, 650, 701, 708, 734, 740, 757, 773, 810, 815, 918, 952, and 970. ONLY use 3 digit area codes, OR full 10 digit phone numbers (area code with phone number). Never use 7 digit inputs to the blocking list or you WILL have problems! Keep a complete written list of area codes and individual blocking numbers. A small glitch when entering a number into the list can mess up your entire blocking list requiring a hardware reset and complete reprogramming of the list.

Harassment/robo callers frequently use a spoofing APP to create phony incoming caller ID’s on your phone. Hidden characters in a spoofer Caller ID’s number can sneak the robo call past some blockers. I use a separate secondary SENTRY BLOCKER that ignores hidden characters and blocks/kills the call when it’s turned ON.
* *
There are many brands of call blockers other than the ones I have described. Choose yours and BLOCK THOSE HARASSMENT CALLS!!!!!
* *
It is really great fun watching my call blocker /Caller ID recorder light-up and then dump the call when the harassment/robo Caller ID matches the blocking list!!! I especially enjoy it when the call blocker hangs up on a persistent harassment caller!!! Take back your telephone from harassment/robo callers!!!!

CPR BLOCKER has blocker list of 1200 entries for area codes and/or phone numbers. On
detection of block listed numbers the blocker hangs up all lines. All other
callers are passed thru unless Sentry Blocker rejects/hangs up line.
SENTRY BLOCKER hangs up on all black listed phone numbers. White list numbers are ignored
or passed thru for phone/answering machine. Non-listed numbers have
British/Spanish/German msg for solicitors to hang up, and all other valid
unlisted callers to dial zero to leave msg on answering machine.
When Sentry Blocker is OFF, all calls pass thru to phone/answering machine
unless blocked by CPR BLOCKER.
CALL ZAPPER sends out a telephone office signal that the phone line is disconnected. Many
auto scanning robo sytems will then automatically remove the number from
their calling list
HOME PHONE rings once if CPR BLOCKER or SENTRY BLOCKER blocks call. Call rings
thru if blockers are OFF or call is passed by blockers.

Got a call from 312 340-5562 at 9:15 am 1/30/15. I didn't pick up. If I leave my answering machine on, which I need to do, then that means that these d!!! robocalls/spammers are getting my number?
These idiots have no shame, no pride, no morals! Nothing. They need to be caught & prosecuted. Scum of the earth!
Another Babu from India looking to give me ConEd discount. Funny though, being fluent in Hindi, every time I ask them about the weather in Mumbai, they choke and disconnect. I guess, the weather is rather hot there lately, so nothing interesting to report. Oh well, another scamster bites the dust!
