I have had repeated calls before like this. If you dont give them your phone # and tell them it is a wrong # they wont know to stop calling. So give them your number.... Dont make it more difficult than it has to be. Most of the time its an automated system calling so do you really have to be so rude to the rep on the phone? You catch more bees with honey :)
I get calls from this number all day EVERY day threatening me - leaving case numbers - threatening litigation. How do I get them to stop? I can't block them - but I have it sent straight to VM but then they leave messages?
Not only do they call and keep leaving messages intended for my brother-in-law, but today one fella left an insulting voice mail on my phone after I hung up on him. I was so angry I called him back. The automated answering service claims the company is called NCW.
The mysterious "Mr. Davis" I spoke to (if that is his name), spouted a bunch of pretentious words and told me he could remove my number from the call list, but it would take 72 hours. Basically, a very condescending guy using big words to impress. (Didn't impress me, as I teach English).
The message he left on my machine said, "You'll be an idiot all your life." When I quoted this back to him on the phone, he replied,"That's correct." I proceeded to call him an [***]. His educated reply, "So is your mother."
Similar story here...First NCW leaves an 877 # for me to call them back on, and after an exhausting battle with them this evening...THEY call my cell # back, leaving no message this time, with caller ID showing an unpublished Buffaly ,NY # (716-748-7252)...after researching AND notifying the police, I see that it is the same company/ scam.
Helpful Hint: Don't ask them for their address to verify their legitimacy...you will get the hang up. Between my husband and I, we probablly got at least 5-6 hang-up's when we asked for a POB address for them. The best line they had was to tell us was, "I don't like you." We are still lauging at that one.
I had previously posted this under a "877-245-6424" thread....but thought I would share here as well....

I have been recvg messages to my home # x2 weeks, from a woman identifying herself as "Sr. Investigator" looking for a "James C.". This evening I called the # to attempt to notify her that she was calling the wrong # and to request that she stop her annoying calls. She claimed that she could not look up the case that I was referring to without providing her with my phone #. After much arguing back and forth, I began to realize that I was dealing with a possible scam. I explained that I was not comfortable providing her with my information--the info that she obviously already had. I was hung up on. I did immediately call back requesting to talk to someone other than the "Sr. Investigator". The man that I spoke to said, again, that he needed my hm # to look up my info. When I refused, he said, "I see that you are calling from (xxx)xxx-xxxx. Is this you hm #?" (you have got to be kidding with me!) When I inquired what kind of business "NCW" was, he stumbled around trying to avoid answering my question...very vague and non-commiting to any good explaination. He inquired if I was calling from California...again, if you have my caller ID #, you will see that I am not calling from Cali. After last ditch effort, I did give my hm #, and he said that he would stop the calls.
Please, please, be careful, all you who are recvg these calls!
This number has been calling my house for nearly 2 months now leaving a message that "Norma Bates" needs to return their call to the 800 number they provide. I have no idea who they are or what they are about, but I don't return calls to computer messages leaving 800 numbers asking that I call back "concerning an important matter." How can we get this nonsense stopped other than cancelling our phone service?
