I just wanted to inform every one that there is a much cheaper solution to blocking numbers as rick has suggested, although the device may be good you can simply buy a Panasonic home phone which will give you 30 numbers and if you have cox phone service they will block another 30 all included with their phone service meaning free with service. You may not even need to have caller id but I do as I'm sure most every one does or they would not be able to search these numbers. I'm sure if you get a better Panasonic phone than mine or newer model you will probably get more numbers to block. Mine was around $40 with 3 receivers and an answering machine, Phones all have super large text, but there is one that has even larger text than mine. Like I said my phones are over 5 years old now so There has to be a much better model to take care of these jerks. Mine will just send a busy signal out, cox will block the calls and send a message saying you will not accept their calls. Alsop Cox has a unidentified or blocked caller blocking service, special ring tones, caller rerouting, the list goes on & on.
The message I get from this number talks about the FBI. I get this same message from several entirely different phone numbers.
Does anybody else get calls like this?
I get calls from this company ALL THE TIME. Even though I am on the Do Not Call Registry and I have elected to be placed on their internal do not call list. If you speak to someone to be placed on the do not call list, they simply hang up on you. It wasn't until I sat through a presentation as if I was going to purchase their alarm monitoring service (with a free GE alarm system for $49.99/month - expensive - for a 36 month commitment).
The company is MONITRONICS (http://www.monitronics.com/). They claim the company that installs the system is "Maximum Security". Check out this info... http://www.ripoffreport.com/security-services/maximum-security-ala/maximum-security-alarm-inc-fo-53784.htm
Every time you get one of these calls, file a complaint with the FTC at https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
Only if they get enough complaints will they go after these a**holes.
If you really want to hit them where it hurts, call them and have them go through the entire presentation and then tell them you wouldn't do business with a company that violates the Federal Do No Call Registry.
Time is money.
