Tampa Bay area
This # keeps calling me...I say hello, they speak Spanish/Mexican, I say hello or "speak English"...they hang-up! it's getting ridiculous. Can't call back, invalid #.
This is a solicitation call ctr. They are attempting to sell/do many different things from the same # and location. Including calling cards, phone equipment, etc. The purpose is to get your address and mark it as "sales Friendly #" if you OK the sale of anything, they will continue to call you to solicit their goods and services, they will NOT remove you from their call list until they are shut down.
If someone, anyone will or has agreed to their pitch, please post this companies information so the authorities can stop them. That is until they move and start up again that is.
Possible solution to this caller...It may take a little effort on your part, but...look up you Congressman's address, and have it on hand, when they ask for your address to send you the calling card, give them the Congressman's ! See if they like it.
Number is a phantom Number, If they have a business system (multi line Phone), they can program any #/Name into it to show on our Caller ID. (I have received calls from "Heaven" & "GOD" at 111-000-1111).
I worked for Verizon for years and unfortunately, the only free recourse the general public has is a forum such as this. Unless someone gets their company name and address. In which case we report them to the authorities or start calling them!
If anyone finds a way to stop this caller, please return to this forum and tell us how you did it...thanks
FYI the Federal "do not call" List does NOT prevent a company that doesn't care about laws and fines from calling you, it also does NOT prevent someone from dialing your # (People/companies that use automatic dialers can have that dialer call every # between 123-456-0000 to 123-456-9999, hence the name "automatic dialer") It is a "list" of numbers that has been compiled of people who wish to not be solicited. An unscrupulous business CAN use it as a contact list! Especially if they don't care about the fines or are calling from, say...Mexico. Finally, just because the caller ID reads "Arizona" or shows the area code "480", does NOT mean that is where the call is originating from, that info can be programmed to appear however they desire it to.
