The federal do not call list is a joke. I have reported a lot of numbers several times and nothing ever happens to them. Reporting them is just a waste of time as our government is really not interested in helping get rid of these calls
Keep getting these automated messages from this HP Locate. It was a woman's voice on loop. They identified the call as a message from an investigative firm, "Said my phone number had been linked to a case they were currently working on" , and if I did not want to receive further calls to press 1 now. I did not answer my phone so it left a message on my voicemail, in a loop format. However, the number came up as the 800-331-1438.
