605-221-2284

Call came in this AM. No idea who it is, and I don't care if they don't have the spine to leave a message. Too much thievery going on in the USA. Economy is so horrible...crooks are coming out of the woodwork!  Hold on to your guns, protect your property and families, as I've never heard and seen so much meanness in my entire life.  If I didn't need new business I'd turn my cell off and leave it off. I'd put away this computer, and get rid of the unnecessary stress.  Obama is doing nothing to help middle class citizens. He's only interested in giving this and that away for "free".  It's time the "free" stops as taxpayers like myself, are tired of paying for nonsense and unnecessary phone calls. I'm tired of paying for "free phones" when nothing I have is "free". I'm taxed so low-life's can have "free smart phones"  $800.00 in cash for free rent, new computers, free air time, $1500.00 plus a month for every illegimate kid they have, while I still use and enjoy my flip phone, have no kids, and try to survive!
The nonsense has to stop!

Oh no, now I'm starting to get Credit Card Services calling on my cell phone...dang.  Just adding this number to this list of blocked numbers.  8:51 ET / 27 Feb 13

Got a call from this number twice. They did not leave a message so I'm assuming its not important. I don't know what they were calling for. Any answers???

They called me and remained quiet! GTFOH

Same deal... no answer.  Tried to call back... got busy signal.

Got a call,  no message left. I'm tired of getting these anoying calls. When i do answer some of the more unusual numbers, I get "silence"  what is with that?

hahahahhaha, even this is Obama's fault?, you sound just like any other Rush Limbaugh Dittohead, but just like all your other cronies, never waste an opportunity to rant, let me burst your bubble, WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION IS ABOUT OBAMA!!!, we just want to see wtf is calling from this number, get a life!!!

tired of these people being allowed to make these calls.

Didn't pick up.  They left a blank voice mail.

they call my cell phone while i am at work- i do not answer any phone calls that i do not recognize. I do not want them to call and harrass me anymore!!!

....and the intelligence moves on with blindness and deafness.

The FCC has temporarily halted 7 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since they are making money with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like http://www.telephonemanagement.net and http://www.CallerID4U.com

In their own words:  'Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.'

You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. They are making money even if you don't answer the phone. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their scam then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list and NEVER call them back
2.    Consider blocking the number or on a cell phone add it to a contact list and assign NO ring tone
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office
6.     Report any criminal activity to the FBI here:    https://tips.fbi.gov

This is an all out attack from these scum suckers! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft the FBI should be forced to get involved. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

Register your phone numbers online at http://www.donotcall.gov or call (888) 382-1222 (must call from # you want removed).

There is a blog site that has information on one of these operations:     http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com
Please read the blog and report violations to the proper authorities.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they all know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC.
Most of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.

The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them almost nothing and they make millions of them so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a very short time.

This is an all out attack from these scum suckers! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft the FBI should be forced to get involved. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the Caller ID at no charge as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.

There is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.

I must have twenty different numbers added to my block list. This is another... this one was silent on the phone. Makes sense now I have read all the above comments. Not answering these ever again. If it is important, they will leave a message.

Received a call on this number 605-221-2284. I've added it to the other approximately 70 numbers I have on my I-Phone with "Do Not Answer" in my address book with a special ring. This special ring is for calls that I never answer. Works really well. I've sent all of the numbers to the FCC, to my congressman and to both senators. That was a waste of time. All to no avail. I just keep adding the scam calls to my address book with "Do Not Answer" as the name displayed with the special do not answer ring.

Dude shut the hell up. You go sue

You're spot on h20 sue. I enjoyed your posting :) amen. We are all sick of it.
Speaking of sue, Im so sick of these random #s calling. Isn't it true one can get 500.00 from telemarketers that have been told to not call your cell or home anymore? Is that consumer law still in effect?  It probably was easier when you literally knew who was calling you.

The Government said.....  The government NEVER stopped these calls, not even for a day.  I get these calls 4 to 5 a day, from 7 in the morning until 10 at night EVERY Fing DAY.

Credit Card Service calling for credit services that I did not request.
