They just called at 3:42pm ET. I went to answer & they hung up. Such a**holes! My phone # is unpublished, and on "Do Not Call" list. When I DO answer, I put on my "annoyed" voice -- that usually makes 'em hang up.
My wife and I are always getting these kind of calls and we are on the national do not call list. Now, we are using Straight Talk and pay a monthly fee for unlimited service. I have tried going through channels like the Federal Trade Commission and through our state's attorney general etc... with no real solution. And I go to sites like this and all I see is complaints. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REAL SOLUTION TO THIS NATIONAL PROBLEM!! LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PHONE COMPANIES NEED TO GET RESPONSIBLE AND PUT A STOP TO THIS CRAP!!!

Unfortunately, some of these "marketers" are scam artists, and they do anything they can to try to make money -- even to the point of harassment. I got called 5 times yesterday by one who identified her company as "US Markets" and she told me to "calm down" -- it's only been about 20 phone calls from that number alone (713 area code). I told her not to call me again -- that was the 3rd call of 5 that day alone. I keep my phone on silent, too. Whenever I purchase something, I use my area code, and 000-0000, which helps prevent more of such calls. Prior to actually talking to someone, I tried calling the (713) number back, and the phone was "not in service" -- then, later is when the girl and I talked -- when she called me. These callers use "burner" phones -- prepaid. That is why they can't be stopped.
Something like "Lucky day" llc. Said they wanted to know if I'm still interested in the chance to earn extra money, as though I had answered some web-type ad.
Caller said she wasn't supposed to, but would put me on "don't call again" list.
I am on the Do not call list, of course.
