We are a local business, doing business in S CA. We have been in business 30 years and had the same phone number for over 20 years. Can't believe that it's taken them this long to call our office!
We seem to be on every scam/telemarketer/CRIMINAL/Google placement/card processing call list there is.
I have just blocked the entire 718 area code.
In our office, we have two Digitone call blockers - the first one is full.
The wonderful thing about the Digitone is that you can BLOCK ENTIRE AREA CODES!!!
Currently, we have about 55 area codes (throughout the United States) blocked with at least 75 local phone numbers blocked.
Blocking entire codes is great because the CRIMINAL telemarketers often change 1 or 2 digits or even a prefix number and call again. By blocking entire area codes, you block all their calls.
We have a particular problem with calls from Washington state. We now have every area code in Washington state blocked!
The Digitone call blocker also blocks "private/no number" and "out of area" calls as well.
Our phones do not ring when a blocked call comes in and our office is not disturbed.
Save your sanity - buy a blocking phone (Panasonic now has a blocking phone - 250 numbers) or a blocking device and put these a - holes out of business!
Magic Jack advertisement calls about 4 to 5 times per day when I return the call to 718-564-7514. But the number is unassigned. Magic Jack harassment is my best guess.
They do not even own of any processing companies, a few calls and reports to VISA/MASTERCARD and credit Bureau, they will not be able to sell for processors anymore. Start calling everyone, dont just leave it up to me. PLEASE CALL AND REPORT...help everyone of these thieves...
I also received three calls today Monday November 11th 2013. I told them I had already spoke to them two times during the day and the lady with a foreign accent said, this is the first time i have called what are you talking about and hung up the phone not me her.
