>> I'm on the do not call list but seems that does not make any difference <<
This post has two parts. The =second= is for people who are interested in the realities of the Do Not Call list. The =first= is for people who have difficulty understanding long explanations, but think the DNC list does not work.
1)
The DNC list is not a magic switch attached to your phone.
The DNC list is intended to help stop calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers.
* Your calls were not from legitimate telemarketers.
* Therefore, the DNC list will not stop those calls.
2)
The DNC list does not automatically block calls. Instead, it provides a list of "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate, registered telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.
The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations, charities and companies with preexisting business relationships, but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).
The DNC list is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
Its purpose is to stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that. Just think ... if there were no DNC, you would be receiving incessant calls from BOTH legitimate and scam telemarketing callers!

Remember, the Do Not Call site is a good one to report unwanted calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers. The DNC list does not cover calls from criminal scammers & spammers. To report those, visit https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
If you receive calls even after reporting them (and waiting a sufficient time), then you should consider using a call blocker app, device or service as your first line of defense. Google "call blocker" to see such things at Amazon or other sites.

Everyday this week this place calls. On my ID screen it says FL PAIN CREME but the number changes every day. I can block the number on my phone, but it'll change the next day. The place has called with 4 different numbers so far.
980-215-0330, 0331, 0332, and now the 864-540-0332.
Oh, and 706-805-1884, 1885 was from them, too last week. So that's 6 different numbers from the same ID.
Same here, calls all last week from the same #'s you listed, then today from the 864 number. And they are calling my cell...I just keep blocking the # from my phone as they switch numbers.
robocall on my cell from 864-540-0332 caller ID said "NO NAME" on Monday 08-04-14 @ 1025 AM
answered phone and mesage said they have cream for pain for people who are under 65 years of age . I pressed 1 and a
male answered and asked if I wanted medical policy, I repeated his statement also as a question.
He asked another question and I repeated his question again. He did not like that and hung up.
I then blocked this number.
exactly one hour earlier got call from 864-540-0331 caller ID said "NO NAME" on Monday 08-04-14 @ 925 AM
Phone did not ring since this was previously Blocked and call went to Blocked List
