This number has come up on my phone and today it was on my Dad's phone

There are so many of these friggin calls now that I DO NOT answer the phone at all now if I do not know the number.  If it is important & it is someone you know, they will leave a message.  There are a number of scams now from unscrupulous people where once you answer the phone, open the line, your phone is being charged huge long distance fees from places in the world that I have never ever heard of.  Be careful.    Do not answer the phone unless you know the number.    Excuse me for singling you out but - -  - - - older people who might not have any or many family or friends around to look after them, are so, so, so susceptible to these idiots taking advantage of them.  They take these stupid phone calls because they are lonely & long for a friendly voice.   These same older, trusting people also are the same ones who give their bank account number & social insurance number to a poor guy in Zambia who is trying to get his poor sick mother over to the states for treatment for her brain tumor.  He promises to put a couple of million into their account once his mother is in the states but first he has to show that he has a US bank account.   Yea right !!!!!    Please "older people" do NOT answer the phone unless you know the number.    Please get "call display".   AND - - -  NEVER, EVER give out any personal information eve if they say they are the vice president of your bank.   Your bank would never do this.   Sorry to be so long inded.

First, I think the solution is to have a phone with "Call Blocking" feature build-in. So you don't have to pay montly fees for blocking individual numbers. Second, they want to get their message across to you by a breif message left on your answering machine. So, I think turn the VM off, they cannot call you twice because you use your phone to block their number. Third, If both option is not available to you, then check with your phone provider, add CALL FORWARDING into your current package. Forward it to a "not in service" number.
Also you must file complaints to Do-Not-Call.....
Someone from another thread had discover the person who run these type of calls...worth to take a look....or call him and ask, see what he know....may be this number is run by his associate, friends or family member.

*Note: Same address

Umair Ali has listed his personal phone number on his website: (469) 892-8637. This phone number is a google voice account which links to his carrier phone number (New Cingular Wireless Pcs) which is (214) 738-6247.

*Note: The caller from 403-255-8807 had previously identified himself as 'Umair'

We called (214) 738-6247 and the individual that answered the phone was the same calller that tried to steal our credit card information and while panicking accidentally divulged information regarding another scam involving some type of tickets.
