Caller immediately hung up when I answered. I called the number from my cell phone, and it immediately went to a voice mail message that said, "Thank you for calling back." If you are not interested in our promotions and wish to be put on our 'do-not-call list', please press 1 now..."
I never oblige these message requests with a response. I want them to think that I dialed a wrong number, thus not confirming their initial call to me. That would give them both my cell# and my landline# that they originally called.
The call is from "card services" which is just a ploy and a scam. They call repeatedly. Today I pressed "1" for a live representative and when she came on, I blew a police whistle into the phone. Perhaps , perhaps, someone will get the message. I always report them to the do not call list but that gets no results.
There is a device that stops the call before it even rings. It's call NoMoRoBo but not all telephone systems will put it on. I have been calling Centurylink to try and get it with no success. I don't know why they won't but I'd gladly pay extra to have that service.
I have received daily calls from this number, so I pressed #1 in an attempt to speak with a real person. A man answered and I asked to be put on their do not call list. He yelled at me "No I won't put you on the list because you don't want to lower your "fu**ing" rates"!!! He then slammed the phone down. YIKES!!!
