000000000

Why am I gettung calls form 000 000 0000 , who are these people

my phne co. is Sprint

I have just had the 000000000000 number phone my land line in the uk had a bloke i could hardly understand on the other end saying I could get a £700-£800 refund from my bank....lol yer i wish as soon as i asked what bank i was with he hung up pmsl....so love winding them up

I am tire of this number calling me every hour. What can be done to stop this?

Government is too busy bailing out EU countries, MPs are too busy claiming false expenses, TPS & Oftel and ICO is too busy just RECORDING complaints (I have yet to see what they have ACHIEVED prosecution wise) These forums are full of ordinary people complaining about unwanted intrusive calls mostly from Indian sounding callers, yet none of the above organisation appear to have any sharp teeth to act.

It is a call from Sport Lisboa e Benfica. It is to sell you membership cards!!

Just got a call from this number on the switchboard at work.  I decided to pick up the call, but put my phone on mute, just to see what happens.  Got a recorded message saying they had an important message for me, please hold.  This repeated several times, then a woman snatched up the call, and was "Hello, Hello" then she pushed a button on the phone.  When I didn't respond, she hung up.

The way I look at it, if you can't call me from a legitimate number, I'm not going to talk to you.  Caller ID showed 000000000 as the incoming number.

Got a call today from 000000000, when i picked up, there was silence for about 5 seconds, then an automated goodbye. no idea who it is????

FAO eveybody see BBC report on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4482139.stm

Simply faking a phone number is not illegal in the US or the UK.

A spokesman for the Ofcom, the UK's telecom watchdog, said it had received only one call about Caller-ID spoofing from someone concerned about what would happen if it took off in the UK.

Widely-accepted industry guidelines dictate that people are honest in their use of CLID, he said

But, the spokesman said, Ofcom was a complaint led organisation and would move to investigate if it got a lot of enquiries from consumers about people or organisations systematically abusing the system.

"We are aware of it and are monitoring the issue," he said
CAN ANYONE BELEIVE THERE HAS BEEN ONLY 1 COMPLAINT TO OFCOM ?
So folks we have to flood the OFCOM  before they will act And that too probably will be in the year 2069 !

I have just had a call from this number. The man claimed to be from Central Legal Services in Birmingham (UK) and was selling will making services. I couldn't find such a company when I googled.

i received a call from this number twice on 5/7/12 on both occasions there was silence, no communication at all

It's Dave from India which is in any city of the U.S.  You won a 20 dollar gift card from Walmart.  All you have to do is provide him with your debit card number so you can pay the $2.95 shipping and handling fee. If you dont they will call a dozen times a day.

they call every 5 minutes for the last 3 days, I have answered it once and there was no one there but i could hear a garbled voice along with many others

Message from "Federal something or other"  that my debit card has been locked and to call them immediately.

i got a call from 0000000000. it was a man who said his name was "Casper" i laughed at him and would keep asking HIM question. He said he was with a cruse line, but sounded like curse lie because of his accent. So i just asked him "what is a curse lie?" "why do i want to be apart of a curse lie?" I say just have fun with it, flip the script on them and pretend you called them to sell them sex toys or something. You can see the number on the phone so you'll know its them calling you...Or just dont answer.

I have started getting calls from +000000000000 at least one a day but i have never been able to speak to anyone

Has anyone come up with an answer how to stop them

John, about any ideas how to stop these calls - a couple of months ago I purchased a CPR Call Blocker and it has solved my problems. I'm disabled and was not always near the phone when it rang. These calls and others from "withheld", "out of area", and one of the very worst "002034754049" have all been stopped in their tracks by this machine. It holds a blacklist of the worst sales call numbers and blocks these. It also automatically blocks the others I've mentioned. Calls from genuine number get through but if it is an unsolicited sales call, there is a button on top of the machine to block future calls from that number. I know the machine works because every night when I put my phone into its charger there is a list of calls "missed" showing on caller display. These are numbers which have called me but the CallBlocker has intercepted them and my phone has not rung with any of them.

What annoys me about it all is the machine costs some money. I'm not blaming the manufacturers but if an independent company can enable blocking such numbers surely our telephone service providers can also do it? I have come to the conclusion that phone service providers do not want to help their customers in blocking the unsolicited numbers. Unfortunately the paid for CallBlocker is the only way I have found to get some peace and quiet from these pests. (And I'm happy that they have had to pay for the call though my phone has not rung to annoy me.)

Asian man phone a few minutes ago! Wife answered the 'phone but was very cautious and di not give any info away. Caller said we were entitled to a £40 refund on our BT 'phone.  Wife told him we were not with BT and caller said that we paid a line rental to BT (which was not true) he then asked how we paid, monthly or quarterly wife told him she did not know as her husband dealt with these things! Is your husband available? he asked. No my wife said and then caller rung off!

Sounds like a scam!!!!

eport this to the attorney general of your state.Keep a list of when called, and the result. DO not give any info to them. These numbers are routed through overseas towers, and Gawd only knows what they do with them.Bureau of Consumer Protection - Pennsylvania Attorney General
