This person first asked to speak with my mother-in-law and when she was not available said that I could help. I told him that this number was on a do-not-call list and asked him not to call again. He said that I would have to 'pay' in order to have my number removed. I hung up.
This person kept calling my cell phone repeatedly. I finally answered ,after trying to research the number without much luck, it was a person whose English I could barely understand asking me to try a work from home making up to $5000/a week trial. He the preceded to ask for my credit card information in which time I hung up. Definately a SCAM! DO NO ANSWER!
This phone number must be used by a group using different scams, as I got a call yesterday from this number offering debt reduction, and others have gotten calls about making money from home.
Now mind you, they are calling on my cell number, a number I've NEVER given the number out to anyone who isn't friends/family or having a working relationship with me (ie my insurance carrier, or the guy who is cleaning my dryer vent). I suspect that they get the DoNotCallRegistry and use it as a guide for what numbers are actually active.. and since the DNCR gives 30 days before these calls will stop, they can harass us as much as they want in 30 days claiming we asked for it, and for people who have been on the registry for longer, I guess they just don't care.
What I suggest, is stricter punishments for these kinds of companies. When a number like this starts harassing people like this, the number should be immediately suspended the and rights of the company to purchase/rent new numbers should be suspended, until an investigation into their company is done. This is ridiculous.
I received a call from this #, when I asked who was calling they hung up. in just a few with in a moments I received another call from the same #. I asked them not call me again and please take me off their list.
In a rude hateful manner, I was told they didn't have me on their list then hung up.
