How did you block them? They keep calling me too. Please let me know. Thank you! They called 8:48 AM on my only day off, when I can relax and sleep in. Very Angry with them!
Definitely an unethical telemarketer. My number has been listed on donotcall.gov for a very long time and I verify it once in a while. This company asked for a person by last name, first name order, told them they could talk to me. In a familiar tone of voice they said they needed to talk to our lastname (our last name sounds like a first name), I said "go ahead", they asked for last name again. I said "please justs tell me what this is about". They said "an investment holding" I said, "yes?" (Knowing it was a telemarketer all along, but curious), they asked for lastname firstname again, I said I can get a message to them but needed to know what exactly it was about. Then they hung up without another word.
This board is simply a sounding board for people to vent and inform others of scam telemarketing calls they receive. There is no authority associated with the 800notes site to stop these callers. In order for people to collectively stop these type calls they must act together - and TAKE ACTION! It doesn’t do any good to complain about a caller on this board unless you then take the next step and do something about it! The caller ID number is usually a ‘Spoof Number” – A Fake! Never, never, ever engage the caller or call back the number. The false robocallers will then capture your number as a ‘live one’ and use it over and over and sell it to other scammers. The same goes if it prompts you to ‘press a key’ to ‘opt out’ of their calling lists, or be transferred to someone, as this will only ‘log’ your number as a working one and make it ripe for future calls and to be sold to other scam companies as well.
The best option is simply to hang up, keep your own list of calling numbers with dates and times and report them to the FCC below. There is space on their complaint form to list several calling dates and times of a repeat caller.
The DO NOT CALL list is worthless, they do not act on anything, just build a database of numbers.
In order to do something to help stop these type calls, everyone - EVERYONE needs to file an online complaint directly with the FCC. If they receive enough complaints about a particular number - they will act on it. Do it today and pass along the info:
