Who called from 4149440278

I have received phone calls 4 days in a row.  This phone number is a scam.  The name of the company is "College Works" -- that's how the machine answers.  A single male voice (the same both times I called the number to let them know I was on the Do Not Call list) was extremely smug and rude.  Basically said anytime someone signed up for a credit card, they'd call.  I haven't signed up for one in well over a decade.  So I have no idea how they got my numbers.  The guy said they didn't really care if I was on the DNC list, as no one ever did anything about it.  I have already called the Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection and reported it.  I have done the same with the FCC.  I hope to hear back from the WI guy that he did indeed fine these guys for both offenses.

Well sadly the Do not Call lists are now a thing of the past .

I just received a phone call from "College Works" at this same number. I am a college student and they said they were currently holding interviews for internships.

This is a company who employs college students to paint houses during the summer. They go by the name "College Works." If you call and tell them not to call you again, they will be incredibly rude to you and persist in asking you why they should remove you from the list. After insisting they remove me from their call list 3 times in a row and being refused, the guy I was speaking to hung up on me. Incredibly unprofessional!

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.
