DO NOT ACCEPT ROLE OF VICTIM! If you simply want to complain, but are too lazy to do what it takes, then stop wasting your breath. If you are serious about helping yourself, then perform your duty as a citizen.
Report the number, the times you've been called, and the frequency of calls to your state's Attorney General's office. Go online and find the reporting procedure. It's fairly straight-forward and, even though it takes a few minutes to do it, your reporting will be added to the pile against this caller. You will receive a letter response from the AG's office for your records. If the offending caller repeats its unsolicited calls, do the same reporting procedure. You should notice a cessation of calls.
No message was left on my answering machine. The caller ID said Childhood Leukemia, 317-472-8016. I am on a national & state of Penna. do not call lists. 317 area code is Indiana. More than likely they are a scam and not collecting for leukemia anyway.
Not to mention I am unemployed and with the state of the economy, they have a hell of a nerve call a number on the do not call lists!!!! As of right now, I report them and it is a $20,000 fine. $10,000 for each list I am on.
It's a shame that we have to automatically think that "childhood leukemia" showing up on the caller ID is a scam but that's the world we live in. Anyone can rent out commercial office space, buy an auto dialer and a caller ID spoofer from the dirtbag scammer's black market and disguise their "business" number as anything they want. Elderly people fall for it and that's who these wastes of dna prey upon.
They called my cell phone on 1/3/2012 asking for Mrs. Mullins. That's not me and I don't know anyone named Mullins. They did not identify themselves and I assumed it was a wrong number. (Caller ID on the cell only shows the number, not the name they've registered.)
They've called again this morning, 1/6/2012. I didn't answer and they left no message. Now that they know it's a working number, I expect them to sell/share it with all their fellow scammers.
