There are at least two options for those bothered by people originating these offensive calls:
1. Go to www.fcc.com and click on the electronic complaint form, filling out each of the entries (takes about two minutes), identifying the date and time of the unwanted call(s), any identifying information from Caller ID ("Unavailable" is a valid entry), your number where the call was received and your name, street and email addresses. The FCC will immediately respond with an email to you, identifying the file number assigned to your complaint. If everyone filed these complaints to the FCC, that deluge will prompt an investigation and likely a fine on the calling party.
2. I followed a recommendation from a comment listed elsewhere on 800Notes, where that person was extremely frustrated over calls from a number different than 360-529-6183 (as the above folks obviously are) and purchased a DIGITONE Call Blocker from www.digitone.com Three features attracted my interest: a) I now can block up to 80 specific telephone numbers, b) This device has "First Ring Supression." meaning that you will not even hear the first ring!!, c) you can block entire area codes, a feature that can be used to block all 800, 866, 877, etc. numbers or those from specific (not toll-free) numbers. There may be other devices available, too. I saw immediate success with the one I purchased.
Silence can be Golden!!
Even so, I regularly report annoying/illegal/robo calls, etc. to the FCC. Now that I also use the DIGITONE device these annoying calls have been greatly reduced in number.
am totally shocked/appalled by phone call I just got from this number. The guy identified himself as "card services" and said that I could get a better rate on a credit card. I told them I didn't have a credit card but would be grateful for one of these low rate cards. He said I misunderstood, and I said well, I still would like to sign up for one of these low rate cards. He said " well I want $5 million and a BJ" and hung up on me!!!
caller called and said that I would receive a new medicare card and wanted my bank name and ask me to get my checkbook for number I said that you do not need my checkbook. Reported this to our social security office. Had to be a scam
I have blocked every number this group has used. Now they are using this one. I have tried do not call.gov, I have called treas dept to register complaint, I have told the scammers I am recording them, I have whistled LOUDLY in to the phone. Nothing stops them. Finally remembered I have call blocking, so am using that.
I think if you press "1", even to tell them not to call, try to scam them back, get info from them, or for another reason, that just verifies that your number is a "good one" and they will just keep calling. Best to ignore or BLOCK!
