Same thing, robo call to reduce interest rates.
No company name (violation #1).
Robo call (violation #2).
Called my number which in on the DNC list (violation #3).
Did not provide a valid phone number (violation #4).
Filed a report with DNC (lot of good it will do of course)
It would be hard to trace calls like this.
I received a call at 4 AM. I have a son oversea, My father is dying of cancer, and my mother in law is having medical issues. I am overwhelmed with fear when the phone rings, trying to figure out who is calling. I don't think I can call anyone because I don't want to wake someone and have them worry until I know who it is. Please do not let this company scare other people. Thank You vo4261833310075 please stop!
I am very sorry to hear how these slimeballs are impacting you at a difficult time. Let me offer a suggestion for getting these creeps out of your life. I am going to assume that you have both a landline phone and a cell phone. If you only have one or the other, let me know.
First, sign up for a free Google Voice account. Be sure to choose the option to have Google Voice automatically block known spammers. Following the links on the web page, set Google Voice to be the voice mail for your cell phone (you will have to dial some codes on your phone). Set Google Voice to send you a text message and/or email when you have a message. Now, use call forwarding on your landline phone to forward all calls to Google Voice. At this point, if someone calls your home phone, the call will go through Google Voice, and end up either at your voice mail, or, if blocked, at a disconnected line message. Some spam calls will be automatically blocked, others you will have to block manually on the web site. At this point you will be able to eliminate spam callers from your landline. Other callers will get voicemail, and you will be notified by SMS or email.
Now, go into the contacts on Google Voice, and set up a group for those folks you always want to get through. Enter in their names and numbers. Assign them to be forwarded to your cell phone when they call. Now important callers will ring through straight to your cell phone when they call the house.
Now for cell phone pests. Assign unwanted callers to your phone's contact list, with "zzz" in front of the name, like "zzzRotten B@st@rds". If your phone supports it, assign them a ring tone of "silent". If not, use a ring tone creator to create a "1 second of silence" ring tone, and assign that to them. If you can't do that, then just use the least annoying ring tone, and know to ignore that one. When a blocked spammer calls, let the call roll over to voice mail. Google will give them a line disconnected message. If you happen to miss a legitimate call, Google will take a message, and send you an email or text message to notify you of the call.
At this point, friends and family will get through, but blocked callers will not. And all for free!
I know this may seem a little complicated, but it is easier to do than it is to explain. I hope this helps, and I hope life gets better for you soon. I'll try to remember to check back in case you have questions.
They keep calling. I say I'm not interested; take my number off. Guess what? They call again. Hence, my phone allows me to block numbers and they will be on the top list.
This credit card company keeps calling me, and I am on the do not list. They give you 2 options: press 3 to be taken off of their calling list, or press 1 to speak to a rep about lowering your interest rates. I have hit 3 multiple times, so technically it is illegal for them to call me (as it was the first time really...). So finally I hit #1 and a lady picks up and asks me if I want to lower my CC rate. I say "No, I want to know what I can do to stop having your company keep calling me because apparently pressing #3 does not work." And she goes "And I want to know how many more customers are going to call and cuss me out today?". So I went off a little bit. "First off, I didn't cuss you out. Your company is a scam and operating illegally. I want to get off your calling list, and you are operating against FCC regulations by now allowing me to. I never cussed at you." And she hung up. She had the nerve to try and turn it back and point the finger at me? Really? Oh, I am irate. I just filed an FCC complaint.
