TCPA - Telephone Consumer Protection Act was passed October 16, 2014 which states that an automated dialer system cannot call a cell phone without prior written or verbal consent. If violations occur, the company can be fined up to $16,000 per violation and the consumer can bring a private civil action suit of $500 per call or more if the violation is willful.
If you get calls from a telemarketer, ask if they are using an automated dialer system. And ask if they have your prior written or verbal consent to be contacting you on your wireless number. If they do not, they are violating this Act and you can sue (or settle which is more than likely an easier case for the company).
I had a call from this number on my cell - i tried calling back and the number was disconnected. Very strange that you cant get through. I was going to give them TCPA hell. :)
