Here's a simple clue. If the name doesn't appear in the caller ID box, don't answer. If nobody answered, these calls would stop. It's you people who do anwer that perpetuates this kind of thing.
The NO CALL list applies to legitimate callers. Since these people who are calling don't adhere to the NO CALL list, it stands to reason they are less than honest. It' s like the old saying, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". You think a shyster company is going to pay any attention to NO CALL? If you do, I have a great deal for you on the Paseo Bridge.
The only way to stop this crap is to ignore it and never answer a number you don't know or won't display a caller's name in the caller ID.
I have received numerous calls from this number. The last time I received the call, I picked up the phone, didn't say anything and immediately hung up. I have not received any more calls since then.
Same here, I answer and they hang up. Next time, I'm going to answer as Officer Dayton and see if the calls continue. But I will consult a legal friend of mine and see what trouble I would get in if I filed to have the number traced.
People I'm on the no call list too and it DOES work. The people that follow the rules don't call us, but the ones pulling scams WILL call. What do they care?
