How do I get this number to stop calling?

This number calls several times, everytime I answer there is no one there.  I even waited on the line for several minutes to see if they hang up or something yet the line remains "live" until i disconnect

Well after comments from other blog sites that report boggess 800 telephone number scams, I thought I would post a message and tell you that they have struck in Montana (where I'm at) Iowa and Nebraska.  Looks like they are after the northwestern states.  Many of them stated that the caller is with a childs charity, we are told they are collecting for the "faternal order of police".   When I tell them my numbers have all been listed as "do not call", their excuse is that they are a charity and the "do not call" law does not affect them.  This really sucks because they are the biggest pain in the *^*%#@ and biggest illegal telemarket abuser I've ever experienced!

called Wed 9 19. no one was there.

make them stop. call early mornings & late evenings

I have the same number call me on a regular basis.  

I wouldn't be surprised if the company that makes the call is connected with one of the reverse number look up websites that pop up when you do a google search on the number.  How to prove it, who knows, but it could simply be another way for a website to get someone to click on their site.  It would be nice to find a way to track them down.

I work for a global phone company, but not the one that serves my residence.  I will do some digging and see what I can find out about these people and report back if I find anything.

Joe.

There should be legislation that stops anyone from calling and stops the charity and political calls also.

I get these calls all the time and so does my 84 year old mother.

This number was calling me repeatedly and would always hang up.  I would try to call back and there would be no answer.  I reported the number to the "do not call" list several times and it actually quit calling for a while.  It called back today for the first time in a while and I answered and someone was actually on the other end.

He said he was collecting for the North Dakota Fraternal Order of Police.  Not sure if this is true or not.  He gave me his sales pitch and asked me for a donation.

I said "Well, I would have considered it if this number hadn't been calling me and repeatedly hanging up on me.  For this reason I will NOT be making a donation, and you can take me off your call list."  Of course he rudely hung up on me.  Typical reaction.

However, he did give me the phone number and address of the Police Order before he hung up.

Not sure if he really represented them or not.

But the # and address is:

701-320-0240

PO Box 1993
Bismarck, ND 58502

If I get another call, this is the number I am calling back to complain, or this is the address that a nasty letter will be written to.

Feel free to do the same if this 800 number keeps calling you.

I would guess the scammers are smart enough to know the legit charity they are trying to represent. Thus they look to see if there is local charity number and address they can refer to in the call.  I would first call the 701-320-0240 number and explain to them that you are getting calls from a 800 number who is representing themselves as their charity and confirm or deny if they use a telemarking company and if they do which company do they use and from what number do they call.

Them called me and never left a message on my answering machine. I can print up my caller ID that's how I know they called. All that came up for name was Toll Free Call.

Another one of those "there is no problem now with your credit account, but..." scam calls. Their message asks you to dial a "1" if you want to be removed from their call list, but we all know what REALLY happens when you dial ANYTHING on these calls...! :(

multiple calls a day even after telling them to take me off the list.

I am on the do not call list.  They called at 845 pm during family time.  They don't answer when I call them back.

I keep getting this call.  Once when I checked it on the internet I got the name cha haoba jamesqi for this number.  When I submit this name to the internet I get no matches.  I have caller ID so I have never answered them.

800-526-0276 has been calling 2-3 times a day for weeks! Very annoying, I've certainly got better things to be doing then run to answer the phone to this robot.  NO ONE answers when I pickup, so I can tell them off! If a charity, I certainly will not donated to anyone using this NAG SERVICE!

800.526.0276 --Ditto as in All of the Above.

Just got a call from this number, but didn't answer. From the responses above, I looked up the website of the ND Fraternal Order of Police, and on their FAQ page at teh bottom it states:

"The National Fraternal Order of Police does not conduct telephone solicitations. However, ND State Lodge does solicit donations and some local FOP lodges do. If you have a question about a telephone call you received requesting that you make a donation to the FOP, Please contact the ND State Lodge at (701) 320-0240 or send an email by clicking here."

I've been getting calls from this number as well.  I just pick up and immediately hang up again.  I'm hoping they eventually get the hint that I'm not interested.
