I agree with "Pierre Bardo" (above) who left the following comment on this forum on Sep 25 2010:

"I, too have been receiving calls from companies looking for a James Coburn.  What I do is tell these people that he is outside, but hold on and I will go get him.  This person does not reside here, nor do I know him, but what the heck, I just put the phone down and let them wait until they hang up..."

While its unlikely to do much to stop these calls, if they've decided to waste my time, I think I'm now obligated to at least return the favor.  It's just the way I was raised :)  Although I'm sure their 'break room chat" includes discussions about "the suckers" using this tactic...that only makes it MORE fun to think up more novel ways to keep them on the phone while I go about my day.

Sometimes I'll yell out, just loud enough for them to hear, "Honey (or David, Tom or Susan...), are you coming?").  The possibilities are endless....Variations include:  "These folks haven't got all day.  Should I just take a message?"  Or,   "I told them you were on your way.",  or a personal favorite, "Johnny, go find your father and tell him he's wanted on the phone."

They have call center metrics they have to meet and their job would be history pretty quickly if they just hung up on people all day.  I don't blame them for that.  Those folks are either (1) lazy or, (2) ashamed of what they're doing to earn money.  - NOTE:  I don't buy for a second the argument that "at least they have jobs, earning $ for their family, especially in this economy." – or -  "I'm just doing my job".  That argument echoes a previous poster's observation that Hitler's guards were just "following orders".  A stretch I'll admit, but prostitutes and drug dealers work to put food on the table, too.  

It's not a question of character.  It's beyond that.  If they've decided to earn money hassling, threatening, and sometimes terrifying, their fellow man over old and at times non-existent debt, their character has already been clearly established.  Your Mother and kids would be so proud.

Love to stay and chat, but gotta go...I think I hear the phone ...

they call everyday i told them was the wrong person call keep on coming!!!!!!!
what low lifes and they are very very nasty as well !!!!!!
gonna record phone calls and make a case form today on!!!!!!

Been getting calls from this number from the past couple of days now. I refuse to pick up because it's a number I don't know. When the answering machine picks up, it goes straight to hold and has left multiple 5 minute elevator music messages on my phone before someone picks up, never says hello, then hangs up. From what I can find, it's a debt collection company, or a serious scam. Beware!

This is the third number this company has called me from.  Out of 10+ tries, I've answered two of their calls.  If I don't pick up, they don't leave a VM.  When they asked for so and so I advised they had the wrong number and to remove my number from their system.  Like others have said, the people claim to not know what number they dialed.  I have blocked their numbers, especially since they're calling my cell phone, but within a couple days a new number calls me.  I have also filed multiple complaints with the FTC and now the FCC.  From what I can find online they appear to be in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act since they're using an auto dialer.

Per R called today from (Per R 302-394-6833) I have no idea who they are, first time they have called me. They did not leave a message.

Here are the numbers I have so far for RPM:
616-613-2056
914-339-5606
312-878-9503
314-627-5652
616-613-2058
231-337-2146
231-337-2148
301-223-0117
301-882-9950
757-990-8973
804-952-9903
571-261-0044
703-291-9039
240-210-7120
And now this one - 302-394-6833

I set up a contact called RPM - and then as each one of these numbers come in - I assign it a new lable such as Main A, Main B, Main C - and can store limitless numbers using a variety of labels for this 1 contact.

They just called me.  What is so bad is that they only let it ring 2 times so it is just harrassment - not that I would have answered it anyhow.

wont say anything

This # called my husbands cell today claiming he owes a Sprint bill from many, many years ago. A VERY high amount was asked for. Totally bogus!

At least your getting calles. They have reported me to the three credit agencies for $51 that I don't even know about. They have never called me. They just reported it, dropped my credit score by 67 points, and BTW let me mention I don't have a legitimate number to contact these idiots!

Seriously Frustrated!

Calls but never leaves a message
