It began this morning at 9 AM. So far two calls, the one at 9 and another one at 10 AM. Last time I had a situation like this one in which a number with just the area code and a bunch of zeros began to call day and night I contacted Comcast about the harrassing calls and they stopped. I will wait for a while and if the calls continue I will contact COMCAST about it. By the way, I am about to drop my home phone service because of the number of calls I receive from these unknown people on daily basis. The fact that I am on the DNC list and that I file almost daily complaints with tha FTC does not help. The "credit card services" and others keep on calling on daily basis.
I used to live in Florida, but moved to a new state several months ago. I've been getting these calls from 813-000-0000 here in my new location. Whenever I pick up there is silence. It is very annoying.
Just got a call at 1334 hrs. today, 4/8/08. I have a screening device, and my number is on do-not-call lists. This was not a machine. They went through a series of clicks, and I waited until the end, saying, "Hello?" repeatedly. I'm in California, so this should have nothing to do with Florida politics.
That said, I just ran back over my records, and noted a call that used a local California area code (909) and the 000-0000 designation, and I believe that was Sears calling to offer some warranty on a purchased product. But they talked on the phone and it was a live person - no one talked here. Does that help anyone?
