Life Giving Moments - Telemarketer

CREEPY FEMALE VOICE ON MY VOICE MAIL ASKING IN A KIND OF PEDOFILE WAY- YOU KNOW ALL SEXY BUT CHILD LIKE  - ASKED IF BOBBY WAS HOME...never been a bobby here so of course you know it is some jerk sales person or worse some creepy psycho

This phone number comes up on my call display almost daily.  I have it blocked but they cal anyway.  Annoying to say the least!

Calls just about everyday and I let it go to the phone machine. They never leave a message ever. I guess its not important.

I still cant understand why people answer the phone these days when they have no idea who is calling. You think that sales people would know by now that no one is going to pick up.

This number is annoying.  Who the hell are they and what do they want?  They should be banned by law!!!

I get many spam calls, but these idiots called me BEFORE  8:00  AM  using my business number.  Last I heard any calls before 9am are illegal .   All my computer told me was this is from "LIFE GIVING WOMEN".  I have never heard of them ---especially since they left no message.  That are now blocked,  but that means I would still hear the phone ring once.  The only reason these guys operate are because they have clients who do respond.  If  everyone would ignore them, they would eventually fade away.   Although sometimes I believe it's just part of our reflex to answer the phone----many times they don't leave even a caller id.

Believe me, this is NOT A LIFE GIVING MOMENT!  This is a CREEPY telemarketer.

Called at 11:53am.

identity theft attempt

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies and scam artists of every despicable sort is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt associated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St / Congress / Big Oil / Big Bankers / Big Business / Military / Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission. News reports claim that some of these nefarious rogue calls are originating from overseas, where the caller claims to be a relative down on his or her luck who needs hundreds or thousands of dollars to get out of trouble, a policeman or government agent threatening their unwitting victims with lawsuits, fines, garnishments, seizures of property and imprisonment, and any other unconscionable tactic they can use to terrify and swindle the unwary out of their life savings.

Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. Digital hardware call blockers, the popular "DIGITONE Call Blocker 10" for example, could help or do harm depending on how high-tech and aggressive the rogue callers are against your phone number. The more technology you use against them, the more likely they will use technology more aggressively against you to the point where your phone could ring more frequently from rogue calls and in middle of the night hours. So staying lower-tech could actually help to keep your phone a bit more under their unrelenting predatory radar. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers almost never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence against them if it came to a lawsuit, albeit spoofed calls are backed by governments and corporations, so there is nothing the little guy can do against such illegitimate activities but to block and ignore them. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action against you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with something like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."

Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. “John Doe” not “Jonathon Q. Doe” or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen identity, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence against them should they pursue legal action against you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action against you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency.

Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, "faith and family" scammers, political action committees and other low-life flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.

Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and date of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like 800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.

Woman with an odd way of speaking - she sounded like a recorded advertisement but wasn't - called. She launched into a long survey question about whether I care about children influenced by media or something.

I said I'd answer the questions this time but wanted to be taken off the call list because I don't like getting calls at 8:21 AM, and she said I'd be removed from the call list, I said hang on I'll answer this time, and she hung up the call.

I just got a call from this number. They asked for me by name, I acknowledged that was who she was talking to. She gave her name (which I can'r remember, said she was calling from"life giving women, then she hung up. A bit scary!

I got a similar call.  She wanted to ask 4 survey questions about children influenced by the media.  I said, "Okay."  They asked if I thought there was too much bad influence in media, internet, games etc. I said, "If you don't like what is on, don't let your kids watch."  It wasn't the answer she wanted to hear.  The next two questions were of a similar line.  Then the fourth question was, "You can sign our petition for more family friendly influences in the media by pressing #9 on your phone."  I said, "Look, I don't know who you people are, and I don't want my name associated with an organization I don't know."  She said, "It's just pressing a number on your phone."  I told her, "By my doing that I am accepting whatever you are trying to do.  And I don't know anything about you so I will not."  She hung up.

I just received a call from this number. I politely told the woman that this was a business phone and before I could request that she remove it from her list she laughed out loud and hung up.

If this truly is a charity it's very sad that someone like this woman is working for them.

Just wanted to let you all know that I check here often for numbers that call me just to see if anyone else is getting the same calls. I purchased a Panasonic KX-TGA680 Cordless phone. You can block up to 200 numbers. Just wanted to share this as this has been a blessing and a great way to combat these telemarketers. I am not affiliated with Panasonic I am just sharing my experience.

Weird call first asked for me by name so I said yes this is Debbie, then immediately asked if Arthur was there! I hung up!  Called at almost 9pm!  REALLY!

The call came in at 8:17 a.m. and the Caller ID told me LIFE GIVING MOMENT so I didn't bother to get up and answer.  There was a voicemail which I listened to and the woman asked for me by name but that was it.  Nothing else.  The area code was Arizona where I know a lot of people, so I decided to Google it and landed here.  I'm not calling her back, that's for sure.

Waking my little one at 7-8am on weekends-stop calling your n-o-t getting any money so shove off!!!!!!

Female caller calls at about 8:10am central time;
she says she is conducting a survey, asks if there are children in the house;
I start to reply -"what are you about?..." but she continues, talking over me;
"Wouldn't you like to control what your kids and grandkids watch?" she asks;
I reply: "I already do," She replies "Okay then," and hangs up.

Pretty darn rude. And creepy.

From the other comments, this seems consistent with a sophisticated, but still by no means perfect, robot caller.

This crud is getting out of hand.

At 8:18 a.m. on 01/23/14, I received this call from Life Giving Moments, (602)-753-5621, waking me from a sound sleep. This women told me this was a survey & wasn't going to cost me anything, I just needed to answer 4 questions for her. Asking me 4 questions about having more control about what grandkids watch on TV & how much time they spend on the computer. After answering her 4 questions, she asked me to spell my first name, then told me to press 9 on my phone, which I did, very stupid on my part. She then said, I authorized My signature on this petition. Never heard of such a thing!! I said what is this about I thought this was a survey & wasn't going to cost anything. She said, no cost but when we call back we hope you purchase from us so our organization can help with more restrictions about what our kids watch  on TV. OMG!! What kind of scam is this? I'm really upset about this. I never answer calls & numbers I don't know. I reported this to the FCC & filed a complaint & will be filing a complaint with the Attorney General of Arizona. These people need to be stopped.

Rec'd this call around 8:30pm....Caller ID showed: LifeGivingWomen....Never head of them.  Normally I would not have answered, but my spouse goes to bed at 8pm because he gets up at 3:30AM, and I didn't want the ringing (until the machine picked up) to wake him.  I immediately said: Please take our # off your call list...We do NOT take calls after 8pm.  Some woman said "Well actually, I was looking for R***** (my spouse's nickname)".  I explained he was already in bed, because of his work schedule.  She then said "Well, we were looking for either one of you" ....I thought...Really? Than why don't you know my name?  She started giving me her schpeel, so I cut her off and said "We're Not Interested" and hung up.
