Lone stranger,
The problem is they keep changing the number they are using. I've blocked about 15 of them now - every time I do, they just switch to a different number.
I did contact the FTC & they said that this unscrupulous company does not care or adhere to DNC lists & unless you have been a victim & lost money there is nothing the FTC can do. But I still register a complaint with the DNC website; national & state, with every number they use to call me. They are most likely "spoofing" the 800 number you see anyway. So maybe the *57 would work...haven't tried it. Sigh...wish someone could make them stop!
Just got a call from this number. Showed up as 'V09121231210125' on my caller ID. So I picked it up and listened. Something about lowering interest rates on my credit card. I hit 1 to speak with someone. A very nice girl came on the line, and I told her I have no credit cards and that they need to stop calling me or I'll get the law involved. She said "sorry" and that she'd take me 'off the list' then hung up. Still so annoying!
we have registered EVERY phone we have, both land and cell and we still get the calls. I've reported a number and will keep trying, but I think that the FCC is overwhelmed.
