Just got a call from this number. I answered it and it was a recording saying "Congratulations. You are the licky winner of a WCA..." at that point I hung up. I haven't entered anything and have no clue what WCA is.
They claim that you can go to their website and be removed from their calling lists.
Good luck with that. The bad news is there are thousands of complaints about this company not stopping the calls not to mention the unresolved complaints from the BBB that can't find a legitimate address for the company. All that can be found is a UPS drop box (The UPS Store #4567 - 2643 Gulf Bay Blvd Suite 1560-411, Clearwater, FL 33759) that is being used to launder the money out of this country or a virtual office in Las Vegas (Worldwide Commerce Associates, LLC 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D Las Vegas, NV 89103) with a receptionist answering the phone for multiple non-existent companies.

You are dealing with a company that is owned by a woman in India and registered in Cyprus. If you request to be removed from their calling list and the calls persist then you should continually file complaints with your Attorney Generals office and also file with:

If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done. The only option is to go after the companies that are outsourcing to overseas boiler rooms.
Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved. Since they are operating across borders it should become a federal felony and should be handled by the FBI under the RICO Act.
I get calls from this number several times a week, as does my 11 year old son. I've called from both numbers and requested to be removed from their calling list twice each, and they still call
Wendy, here's a way to get them off your back or line.
Get a little recorder or borrow one and record this tone. (Handier if you have caller ID.)
When you get this call -play this into the phone and yer problems should be over.

Hi.
This tone will tell any computer that is calling you that the number is not a -'working number'.
And it will eliminate you from the list that 'it' has.
Any person hearing this should also get the same message.
Bye.
