Today, I was contacted @ 2:37, 3:16, 3:46, 4:12, 4:59, & 5:37 by this same phone number (718) 303-2055. Two times I asked them NOT to call me anymore. Finally, I told them that I would contact our Sheriff is they called again. So far, they haven't called, again. My caller ID states that the number is from Staten Island, N. Y. I am registered on the No Call List. What a rip! If you will notice, they called almost every 30 minutes. I have heart trouble and don't need the harrassment!
At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a U.S. district court has halted a Tampa, Florida-based operation that promised to help consumers get payday loans.
Sean C. Mulrooney and Odafe Stephen Ogaga and several companies they controlled used consumers’ personal financial information to debit their bank accounts in increments of $30 without their authorization.
Claiming to be affiliated with a network of 120 potential payday lenders, the defendants misrepresented that 80 percent of applicants got loans in as soon as one hour, according to the complaint filed by the FTC.
In all, the defendants victimized tens of thousands of consumers, taking more than $5 million from their bank accounts. Many of the victims were in difficult financial straits to begin with, and as an added insult, often began receiving harassing telemarketing and debt collection calls shortly after the defendants made their unauthorized withdrawals.
Consumers who complained to Defendants’ Philippines-based customer service agents were frequently offered refunds and $100 gasoline vouchers that never materialized.
Mulrooney and Ogaga apparently used proceeds from their illegal scheme to finance a lavish lifestyle. Mulrooney is the registered owner of a 2012 Maserati GranTurismo, while Ogaga owns a 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost and a 2006 Ferrari 430, according to documents filed with the court.
800notes has quite a few phone numbers that, according to the community reports, were used by the defendants in their scam operation.

And with your health problem, you might want to consider getting a call blocking device or phone. Amazon has a nice selection, but The T-lock Incoming PRO Call Blocker sells for under 60 bucks on Amazon and can block up to 1500 numbers. That may help to cut down these annoying calls for you!
The last thing these clowns want is to be traced back to where the FTC & FCC can find them.
