Called my office at 3:21 pm 5/23/12. We did not answer and no message was left. Their number is now blocked.
PLEASE READ BELOW!
FACT 1 - the DNC list CLEARLY does not work! Everyone knows this...or you should know this by now!
FACT 2 - filing a complaint with the FCC does not work! A total and complete waste of time. Been there. Done that.
FACT 3 - having an unlisted phone will not help you.
FACT 4 - asking/begging telemarketers to take you off their call list – you’ll get laughed at!
FACT 5 - no "class action" law suits are being filed and certainly, none are being LITIGATED.
FACT 6 – contacting the BBB – LAUGHABLE!!! The BBB and the National Chamber of Commerce are corrupt organizations that sell their ratings to the highest bidder. You can forget them.
STOP BEING FRUSTRATED OVER TELEMARKETER CALLS!
STOP BEING A VICTIM!!!
PLEASE DO THIS! PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING TELEPHONE!!!
Call blocking phones are very inexpensive $40-$60 and they come with, at least, one wireless handset. Very, very convenient.
DON'T GET MAD – HIT BACK!
STOP BEING ANNOYED. STOP COMPLAINING!
BUY A CALL BLOCKING PHONE!
Uniden and Panasonic make CALL BLOCKING telephones. They’re cheap - $40-$60 and they usually come with a 2nd wireless handset.
COSTCO & AMAZON SELL THEM.
They work beautifully! These phones also block
“PRIVATE,” “OUT OF AREA” and "UNKNOWN" calls!!!
I have had the same home number and the same business phone number for over 15 years and my home and my business lines (both published) seem to be on every call list imaginable. I bought a Panasonic call blocking phone for my home and I bought a Uniden call blocking telephone for my business.
NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH TELEMARKETERS. THEY CAN’T GET THROUGH!
We can stop these telemarketers IF we all buy a call blocking phone!
The reason a Call-Blocking Device hasn't worked for me is because they constantly spoof their number. If you get a call, then enter the number into the call blocking function, they simply re-spoof their number which is then unaffected by the call blocking.
The only TELEPHONE solution I have ever known of is to REVERSE the situation by only allowing certain callers to come through and ALL OTHERS to be blocked out. This is difficult to do with a business that constantly gets new client calls every day.
There are two reasons why they spoof their incoming numbers. The first is described above, and the second is because there are lunatics like me out there who have the ability to identify the owners of these companies and plaster their personal information all over the internet.
If it could only be true that a Call-Blocking setup would work, I'd have bought one years ago.
I guess what we all want to know is HOW...it is that you identify the numbers. Myself it is mostly my business as well, with a successful SEO on the Google page, everyone calls.
But, my friend, if you would share with me HOW numbers canbe identified by their owners, eternal gratitude...
