I received a call from this number (401.343.9764) and it was a recording. I stayed on the line thinking I could get an operator who could assist me with putting my number on the do not call list.
When I spoke to an operator and requested to be put on the do not call list, the gentleman lowered his voice and spoke " F*** you b****. Go f*** yourself." He then asked me if I could do that. I replied " excuse me?" He repeated it. I asked to speak to a supervisor and ironically we were disconnected. I tried to call back and received a message staying there's no such number in service.
How can the number show up on caller ID but not be a working number when I call back?
Ronnie, your comment is remarkably silly. Who on earth are you that you think your say-so is enough to get authorities to shut down a number? You could be correct -- or you could be somebody wanting to harass the owner of that number. You could be trolling your ex, or people whose views you disagree with. If you were a business person, you could be trying to hurt another business. It takes time to mount an investigation, and guess what? -- a government that has had its protective budgets reduced isn't going to have the resources or staff to care about your hurt feelings or your silly conspiracy theories.
