I just called 570-280-3035 to find out whose number it belonged to. A guy answered but wouldn't give me his name. He wanted to know who I was looking for, and I told him I'm not looking for anyone, I want to know who has been calling me everyday. He seemed to be slightly surprised, but he did inform me that he did not live alone. May be someone else can call the number and see if they can get more information out of him.
I have been receiving calls from this number for days now and I work odd hours so I can't answer.I've tried calling back and it just disconnects without even ringing. Its really aggravating.
Are calls from political organizations or calls soliciting for charities covered?
Political solicitations are not covered by the TSR at all, since they are not included in its definition of “telemarketing.” Charities are not covered by the requirements of the national registry. However, if a third-party telemarketer is calling on behalf of a charity, a consumer may ask not to receive any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If a third-party telemarketer calls again on behalf of that charity, the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000 .
What about telephone surveys?
If the call is really for the sole purpose of conducting a survey, it is not covered. Only telemarketing calls are covered — that is, calls that solicit sales of goods or services. Callers purporting to take a survey, but also offering to sell goods or services, must comply with the National Do Not Call Registry.
