I am in Connecticut and just got a call from this number. I do not answer if I do not recognize the caller-ID, then if they do not leave a message I assume they are a telemarketer and I block the number. So this number has been added to my blocked call list.
My phone number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry since August 2003 so if they are telemarketers, they are violating the law.
To block calls like this I got a Panasonic KX-TGE245B that allows me to block up to 250 numbers and/or area-codes. Panasonic has several new 2014 models that will block that many numbers. You simply save the CID to the blocked list. You can also block area codes by adding them to what they call a “Range List” (you are blocking the range of numbers starting with that area code).
Not so. This number called my phone a few minutes ago and it is because my blocker is working that I was not bothered by it. The "blocker" records the number but doesn't allow the number to ring through nor does it allow the number to access my voice mail. All the caller gets is a continuous ring with no end in site. Wastes their time and money. If I'm curious about who called I can look at my call blocker's diary at the end of the day.
By the way, this is a telemarketing call center. They get "contracts" for a variety of different calls ranging from auto warranties to senior discounts. It's all a scam.
