This number kept calling, so I finally answered just to tell them to cut it out. After I answered, a recording said that they were experiencing a high number of calls, so they put me on hold! After a few more seconds, Then I heard nothing but silence.
I just got a phone call from these people, and as soon as I asked how they got my phone number they hung up. We've only had this number for about a week, the only people that have it are family and close friends. As soon as they hung up on me I googled it to find multiple postings about this number. Seeing that the others were comcast customers as well, I called comcast. They assured me that they do not hand out numbers and put our number on the do not call list. This is really irritating that they say they don't give out numbers, but it seems to be all the same people(comcast customers) who are having these complaints. I guess if this continues, we will cancel service.
I got a call from this number on my Virgin Mobile cell phone. My number is very new, and no one except friends have it--plus Google via the Android system. I've got a few apps that could theoretically grab the number and do something with it, but all seem to be respectable apps.
They claim to be AMVETS. They are not, they are harassing scammers for money who will continue to call you. PLEASE go to this address and file a complaint.

If you tell them you are on a do not call registery they do not care, they continue.
If you tell them you can't donate they do not care, they continue.
If you tell them to STOP calling they hang up on you and call again later that day or the next day.
Please help to stop these crooks who are stealing people's money and harassing people in their own homes. I have been going through this mess for a month.
Also... I gave NO ONE that number. Not one person. The only way anyone could know that is my number is if they worked for Comcast (my phone company). The people who call ask me by my name. Therefore Comcast is selling our information to these scammers.
Thank you Comcast for making money off of harassing me. Please anyone else... list your phone company too.
