Received a call from this number at 8:57AM, this morning (03/05/2015). Caller ID only gave the number and "Out of Area". No message was left. It IS the weekend, we are usually up before the sun and were up late last night since my other half had had a work related issue that needed taken care of and we really wanted an extra hour of sleep. But these scumbags are calling before 9AM and kiss that extra hour of sleep goodbye. We are on the Do Not Call Registry, but they can only stop or cut down on calls from legitimate businesses. I am almost certain that this is a scam/fraud/extortion from somewhere outside the USA and NOT a legitimate business or even a political call. I just came here to see if there are any other reports on this number...just curious which one it was THIS time that they're calling before 9AM on a Saturday....the "duct cleaning"; the credit card scam; the free cruise/Bahamas scam; the pill pushers/drug dealers from India/Pakistan (US Pharmacy); the IRS threat....
If you're on the DNC Registry and still receiving these calls, best advice is to not answer for unknown numbers, no matter how tempting it is. Once you do, they will know it's a working number and pass it along to other illegal operations/scams. If it's a legitimate caller, they will generally leave a message. The DNC only works to stopping calls from LEGITIMATE businesses. Hopefully the day will come when that would also include surveys, charities, and political calls. Most of these calls we are all complaining about are scam, fraud, extortion, and illegal drug sales (US Pharmacy), originate from outside the USA, and they will continue. There are suckers everywhere and until they run out of suckers, the calls will keep coming. There is a way to report these calls, it's been provided here in posts about other numbers & I have it written down, but coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
