Got a call also.  My information says it's Tel West Communications.

Person stated they were a security company and wanted to work with my neighborhood.

they always call and hang up, I filed a complaint with the nation no call registry.you should also.

just got a call, saying they want a "model home" in the area to work with...recent break ins in this area and i'm not too sure who they are so i hung up.

Stop these horrible calls please; we're sick of them!!

They called 2 times in a 45 minute span.  I did not answer but looked up the number and see that they are called Tel West.  2 calls in 45 minutes?  I didn't answer the first time for a reason and I am on the Do Not Call Registry.  I will file a complaint against them with DNCR.

They are unrelenting, 6 calls in the last two weeks, last 10 min ago.  File a complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry as I've done; maybe the bloated buracracy will do something for a change.

They've called here 4 times in the last hour! Ugh!

I'm in CT.  My Caller ID shows PACIFICTEL.

I answered and then it went to dial tone. my caller ID said Pacifictel

I picked up and no one answered on the other side. I added it to reject list.

Just got a call from the same number & I am on the do not call registry as well. It seems like these guys target us that are on it.

They have called my cell 4 times in 1 week....  STOP  STOP  STOP

They've called me twice today on my cell. "Home Protection" was what guy said. Told him I wasn't interested and do not call again. They did, but I did not answer.

Received 3 calls from them today, didn't answer any...

Seriously... it's sad but I have no faith in government programs. Instead of some kind of cheesy federal mandate like the DNC registry... how about leverage on cell phone providers to just LET US BLOCK A FREAKIN' PHONE NUMBER. To me, this isn't about spam calls or the DNC list. It's about the massive joke we submit ourselves to in the form of cell phone companies. They leave out simple features such as call-blocking in an attempt to nickle-and-dime consumers for each minute these spammers call.

Tyler, I agree with your lack of faith of government programs as it pertains to the DNC (Do-Not-Call) Registry.  I do want to point out that many cell phone providers DO offer you an option to block a number that calls you.  I have Verizon Wireless.  I DID pay an additonal $4.95 month to have "usage controls" added to my line so I could block up to 20 calls.  I know with Verizon Wireless you have the option of blocking up to 5 calls for FREE.   Definately check with your phone company provider to see what they offer that can help you block unwanted telemarketing calls.

Received call on 09/29/2011 at 02:56 PM MST from 253-246-8553 in Kent WA. I allow all unknown out of area calls to go to voice mail, and as usual no message was left. I called the number back with my Google Voice number and got a recording "if you no longer want to receive calls on future promotions, press 1." HA!  Yeah, right. It's SPAM.

Most of the telemarketing calls I get are on my landline. I use "selective call blocking" offered by my phone service provider to block many of these calls. It was an additional $2.75 per month, but well worth it. I also have "selective call forwarding" set up to forward the most annoying telemarketers to my Google Voice number. In Google Voice simply add a new contact and add the phone number. Save., then select "change google voice settings" Next, under "When this contact calls you", click "Edit" and then the radio button next to the drop-down box with "Send to Voicemail in it".
(We don't want that, we want it blocked)
---Next, go to the drop-down box and select the third option "Block Caller". Save.

When the telemarketer calls back he or she will hear the 3 tone or SIT tone disconnect "no longer in service" message. Most Auto Dialer systems used by Telemarketers will interpret the 3 tone signal as a disconnected number and automatically remove your number from their database to maximize the efficiency of the systems they use to call you.

By the way, Google Voice is FREE. I selected a Google Voice number with the same area code to avoid toll charges on my landline.

Hope this helps.

Called me on the 23rd from a different number and now from 253-246-8553. Both times calling me as "Thomas Home Protection" (or Tom, with Home Protection). I don't have caller ID, but I do have the TeleZapper and either it's not working or it has come unplugged.

The first time they called me I hung up, and yesterday when they called I told them I was registered on Do Not Call, so DO NOT CALL!
Can't wait for them to be hit with those $11,000 fines, that will be sweet.

Phxazguy-
Thank you for the great advice! I have some questions about Google Voice-I have already set up my annoying people contact list. Can I program GV to block my existing contact, or will I have to enter them all over again when I sign up? Also I will need instructions if I can block my existing contact.
