888-225-5322

Anyone out there recognize this number??

I believe this number:888-225-5322 is for the FCC
to report crank calls, harrassing phone calls, sales calls, automated calling machines, etc.
I was given this number at another website about 517-931-2530

It is the FCC. 888-CALL-FCC = 888-225-5322

it is their consumer hotline.

calling from Iseein, NJ. Supervisor identified himself in broken English as Federal Government National Do not call list, FCC Phone number. The number they said was 1-888-25-5322. They said they had all the information on me about me. I asked from they to repeat my social security number. He gave me four digits which were not even near correct.

seems like a scam is going on.  The caller said he was going to activate my Do Not Call registry and in the process he noticed I had a Craigs List account and said he was going to deactivate that too, because otherwise they will start taking money from my account.  Then he asked me to listen to a voice mail recording of the 5 digit code that he needed from Craig List. What's strange is that I don't have an "account" at Craig's list, but surely the call came - it was an automated call (not a "voice mail" as the earlier caller had mentioned), and the recording said "never give out this 5 digit code to anyone; any one asking for it is part of a scam".  Finally, the first caller called me and asked for the code.  I told him I can't give it to him until I speak to the authorities themselves (I live in Canada), and he continued to plead with me to give the code!

Surely a scam is going on!

check this out -they tell us exactly how this works:

I got a call from this number , at1815 hrs and again at 1845 hrs and said that he is calling from FCC a Goverment Body and would I like to get my number registered so that I would not receive any unsolicited marketting calls. I replied  YES. Then he said that I will get a call and a 5 digit activation code will be left in your voice mail, and within 5 minutes I will call you back and you please provide the activation number, so that no unsolicited calls will be made to you in future. They said this is a  Govt's service and to provide this service  I will not be charged a penny for this service. I received a voice mail twice (Caller ID: 310-928- 7055) which gave me a 5 digit activation number. After this  msg I immediately received call from the same person and I gave him the activation number and he put me om hold for a minute and then told me that my phone number has been activated and I will not receive any more tele calls in future.. But I still continue to receive tele-markating calls.

I hope it is not a scam !!! But I am certainly worried

Pretending to be from the Canadian federal government. Wants me to go through some elaborate steps to get on the No Call List. Definitely from India. Only in India do they say "double 2" instead of "22" when quoting a number. I should know. I am from there originally.

I asked them give me a number I could call them back on and they gave me 888 225 5322, which I can't even access from Canada.

When I asked him if he was from India, (which is fine by me, as most such things are subcontracted) he suddenly starting saying "hello, hello, hello, .... " as if he couldn't hear me.

What a waste of time.

I had the exact same phone call.. a person speaking in Hindi saying they're from the "Canada Government FCC" - which is funny because only the US government has a FCC.

When I told him that and asked him where he was from -  he said he was based in Washington, DC. So I asked him what that has to do with Canada - and he said that Washington controls Canada.

I then realized that this was a complete FRAUD and hung up on him.. he called back 3 times.

What an annoyance!

I did gave them 5 digit number. What is going to happen next... does anyone knows..??

why do iget calls on my phone from someone useng my phonemumber it;s shows up on my phone why my id gives my on phone mumber

Called this number which suppose to be FCC to file complaints. But got recording trying to sell some things then recording says I may qualify for a "free gift". After couple minutes I hung up on the recording!
