Cold Calls Solution
Cold call, they hang up on a message machine leaving a busy dial tone.
Vote against all NRA issues and support all issues against them for all the harassment to you by these hang up dial tone calls. Call your representatives about phone cold call hang up calls from companies. Play those annoying noises back every time they call from known cold call phone numbers used to call you!
Please copy and paste this message at the top of every phone number you search. It'll help the next person hopefully.
When you file a worthless DNC complaint they put your new fresh name at the top of the DNC list, which will help those jerks when these start adding new numbers to those they call. You'll have your fresh new phone number at the very top of their sucker list. DNC complaints from citizens are worthless and ineffective I stopped filing DNC complaints months ago. The answer to our problem is using a hand held tape recorder and then repetively tape (over and over the same sound) the disconnected/out of service tone until you have about two minutes worth to play to these jerks that call us. The sound is the same one telezaper uses. I started using a repeated two minute recording of the same sound as telezapper and my calls have gone from an average of 4-10 calls a day, down to none to one per day, up until today when I wasn't here to answer the call and play them my new tape. It works. Have the tape already going before you answer the phone and continue playing it until they either hang up or you think that the tape is close to the end. If so then you hang up. They won't call back, I've proven it to myself already after just using it a few weeks. Prior to using it I've put up with over two years of these nusinance calls.

I have no idea who this is. Called me at 10:30am on 8/17/12 edt. On first ring I answered and got dead air. No message, no person. SICK OF THE interference and intrusion.
FTC AND FCC need to get it together and really work like they're supposed to, hello!!!??? NO CALL LIST is a JOKE.
Have posted complaints with government people and on internet for so long, but it just gets worse. MOST OF these companies that SLAM you are outsourced in other countries and are being paid for by US companies who are cheapskates. SICK of it. WILL show on my vote on 11/6/12.
Called at noon. I picked up on error. Nothing but air! No recording, they did not hang up. After I hung up my line stayed connected for nearly 5 minutes! Complaint to be filed to FTC anyway as my number has been on the National DNC list.
Got a call from this number just now - didn't pick up, but looked it up here instead. Glad I did. Do Not Call only works for companies who follow the rules, grr.
I get calls from this company nearly every day. They begin by saying 'Don't hang up. This is not a sales call. The FBI......' at which point I always hang up. Don't know what comes next. Finally learned how to block calls, but most of these companies each call from many different numbers. Saying it isn't a sales call, does it make it NOT a telemarketer. I believe this one sells security systems. It is just so disruptive to get 5 or 6 different sales calls durring the day. I work from home and have to disconnect from my work each time and then reconnect. I have called the proper department in the Federal Government about this particular caller and several others. Even though I am on the do-not-call list and also even though the government takes all my information each time, there ultimate answer is; 'there is nothing we can do other than we suggest just hanging up.'. I am guessing they must not get many of these calls at their homes. For myself, I am nearly at my wits end. If you dial the number back you get an automated system that requires you to press many menus and enter your 10-digit number. I have heard about scams that can allow you phone to be used by others with financial impact upon the phone owner. They say it will take 72 hours to remove the number. I have never been willing to input all the digits and numbers they require.
