By calling the POLICE (I hope NOT 911). What would you being saying to them (as to the nature of your call)?
"aaahhh, Hello, POLICE DEPT:......
It’s almost midnight and I just now got a phone call from someone (i.e. a solicitor)trying to sell me a newspaper subscription from the SF Chronicle and I want to make a complaint because they shouldn't be calling people this late at night." etc, etc...
By calling the police, it would fall into the same category as to this story:
LIKE THE RECORDING OF A PERSON WHO HAD CALLED 911 because....
there was a spider in there house and the person calling, feared spiders, and they were afraid it was going to bite them and wanted the spider out of there house.....
Calls from 415-691-4608 and 510-240-1680 have been occurring over the last month. About 5-6 each day. After I blocked both numbers a few days ago, the calls continue...today 35 calls total from these numbers. Since I blocked the numbers, the phone only rings once per call. Still very annoying. How do I stop this?
I got the same call from the same company at 4:30 am (EST) this morning!!!! Of course they didn't leave a message.Telemarketing has gotten out of control again. The Do Not Call Registry is a joke. I re-register every year and I still get calls from different companies even when I opt out. Frustrating!!! The number that called 415-691-4608.
Why do you re-register every year? The registry is permanent. Once registered, always registered until you change phone numbers or opt out. Sounds like you're looking for a call blocker. Try checking on various call blocking units available over the web. The DNC doesn't monitor, screen or block calls for anyone. It is just a list of names collected and maintained by the FTC, and purchased by REGISTERED with the FTC businesses in order to honor the list. Your callers are Scofflaws, call spoofers, scammers, and many are in other countries, and the registry was not created nor was it ever intended to protect anyone against these lawbreakers. Those legitimate telemarketing companies, Registered with the FTC, do honor the requests of those on the list or you'd have millions of legitimate businesses legally calling you daily.
Third call at 9:45 am- picked up this time- no-one speaking on other side. It's originated in Belvedere, Ca as a third level communication landline?? Blocking.
