These guys called me and I am on do not call list. So I got Ooma, you have to have a high speed internet, but ooma phone service is free just buy the box. Now I can block there phone before I ever receive a ring. I can do three things either block the number and they get a message that the phone is disconnected, or they get a message that their number is being block or the phone will ring continually on their side and not affect your call whats so ever, the best is the phone service is free, I LOVE OOMA

New tactic -- it is correct that DND doesn't work -- what government program does? Filing a complaint is a laugh -- they're too bust sending photos of their genitals to college kids.
I'm going to try this and file a complaint in small claims court. I'll go to Long Island to collect a judgment.
I bought that phone abouta year ago, and it is a Godsend. You can input up to 30 numbers to block. Once I get an unsolicited call that rings 2 times, I quickly turn on then disconnect.Then I simply add that numer to my blocked caller list. Even the one ring is bad enough, after it is blocked, but that is all they can ever do with that number, when they call you.
There is an actual legal recourse to the unwanted calls from these scumbags; and frustrated people all over the country may be able to get one of the attorneys below to take the case without any cost to the aggrieved party.
See the link http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_17488126 for an article in the Denver Post by David Migoya which references local attorney David Larson (CollectorAbuse.com) as having filed 268 cases against debt collectors & others in 2010. You can go to his webpage for contact information, i.e. http://collectorabuse.com/default.asp or to send an email query.
The only caveat is that the attorney will get most of the settlement, and you will end up with about $1,000; but Mr. Larsen is a proven commodity in this area & does all the legal work... (a win-win in my opinion)
The article also points out that attorney Charity Olson of Ann Arbor, Michigan also specializes in suing these people. Charity can be contacted at:

There's also another bunch of cretins from 402-201-2770, a debt collection company called Riverside Homes. They don't have any idea who they actually called, but that sure doesn't slow them down. Guess I should enjoy and encourage them to waste even more of their time calling us so they aren't bothering other people who actually owe a debt. However, I was about ready to unplug our telephones until we needed to make an outgoing call after numerous calls from their # above; then I discovered I can turn off the ringers when I'm fed up with early am calls. Good lordy, it's been a lot quieter at our house since....
