347-342-0340

These stupid people have called me 8 times today alone. Every time they are asking for Nicol and i am getting so pissed off i finally let them have it. They still call me. Every time i ask "who is this" they hang up on me.

i get this phone call like 3 times a day and i never answer it cuz i know its not for me but im sick and tired of the same number calling my phone!! how can i make this stop??

they keep calling me and harrasing me always.

ok now i has got the call once again today and the lady asked for jasmine(which is me) and i said u have the wrong number and she said oh im sorry and i hung up the phone.who are the people calling us from this number?

I don't want 347=342-0340 to call me again

Kept getting dead calls from this number so I looked up "Global Crossing" on internet.  Left message with company rep that if calls didn't stop, I was coming to their office and kick the [***] out of the first person I saw and work my way up to the CEO.  Next day a message from the company's legal dept. asked that I call him ASAP! It was urgent that I do this do to the nature of my threatening an employee.  I called (585)255-1285 and spoke to company's security officer, John Haney. He admitted his company is a brokerage firm that handles VOIP companies and listing brokers.  I gave him the offending phone number and he assured me he would "get to the bottom" of this matter.  He sounded professional & sincere.  Anyway, hope this helps.

a woman keeps calling my house asking for me. She will not talk to anyone else but me then when I call them back the phone number is not a valid number. They call at least four times a day at any hour of the day.

They keep calling me 6 times a day, I pick up and the call disconnects. Please make them stop calling me!!!

Same number. Calling and hanging up. They need to stop calling me. Driving me crazy.

I have been getting calls from this number when I answer nobody is there, I called the number back and the operator says this is a disconnected number.. I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST.. this is really annoying
thank you

I have been getting calls from this phone # 347-342-0340.  The call came from
New York City, N.Y.   When they call, I get a high pitched shrilling sound that beeps. It is very annoying and just plain stupid. I am going to call my phone provider to report these idiots as harassers. Also I'm going to call the do not call list people to report them as well. Hopefully this harassment will end as soon as possible, and the anal bovines will be arrested. Also I am going to call the New York City police. Also to report them and hopefully this injustice will end.

Someone has been calling me several times a day for the past 4 days from this number and when I answer no one says anything. I tried calling it back but there is a ring and thne a message "the number you have called is not in service" I really getting tired of this. I searched the area code to New York but no listing.

Keep calling, do not leave a message.  I do not answer numbers I do not recognize.  Annoying people!

I just got the first call at 12:48pm today, then again at 4:30 and again at 8:30. I recall having some problem with someother "college finder" but was to do with student loans, which has nothign to do with me, it took me about 3 months of continuous calling to make them stop. I also advised them i was going to file a report with the attorney general, i was told that a business doing business out of state must comply to that states protocol..... and do busiiness accordingly. This is not good business practice but is without a doubt a form of HARRASSMENT...The weird thing is each time i tried to call the number back it sez it is disconnected

no amswer when pick up. called at least 6 times in 2 days

Keeps calling and will not speak, today is the last time going to put up with it. Going to turn have this number turned in to the proper channels and see what can be done.

I've placed my number on the DNC list and they continue to call but never leave a message.  I don't answer numbers I don't know. How can we turn them in to FCC?

when they call, they hang up right after i answer. called them back and it said that the number is disconnected.

I just answered the phone at work even though the full # did not show up. They claimed to be calling from the US State Department. Claimed his name was Justin Wright. Had THICK Pakistani/Indian accent and there was a terrible echo and static on the line. I asked to confirm name, number and badge number. He claimed he could not give out badge # on a recorded line. I asked him to confirm the phone number and he provided this: (347) 342-1768. I said I would call back to confirm that it was indeed the US Justice Department and hung up. They have not called back yet. Hopefully they won't call back.

They have started in with a new number now (347-697-1454), so the game begins again!  Anyone who did not see my last post, here it is again with some creative ideas on how to deal with these idiots:

"OK, first off, everyone CALM DOWN and don’t freak out about these guys.  No matter what they say or what they threaten, they CAN’T do anything to you.  I know every one of us has tried filing reports with law enforcement, FTC, FBI, ic3, etc.  It doesn’t seem to work, because these guys aren’t even in the USA.  So take a deep breath, relax and don’t let them ruffle your feathers.

Now, I started getting these calls about a year ago.  I have personally used all of the tactics below, and they do stop calling me for about 6 months…so the way I figure it, a little time out of my day to give them back a taste of their own medicine is worth it for 6 months of peace and quiet.  Keep in mind, as well, every minute you spend screwing with them on the phone is a minute they are NOT able to scam someone else.  (And the only way they will ever stop is if nobody pays them any money ever again!)  And now for the fun part—how to screw with them back.  I will start with the easiest and move up the line with the more time consuming:

If you have no time to mess with them:
a.    Just don’t pick up the line.  Let it go to voicemail and delete the message.
b.    Pick up the line and immediately hang up.  Keep doing it until they stop.
c.    Pick up the line and use an air horn or police whistle blown straight into the mouthpiece of the phone.  (I personally like the canned airhorn the best.)
d.    If they call while you are driving, turn the radio up as loud as possible and answer the line on speakerphone.  Don’t say anything, just let them listen to the blasting music.  Heavy metal music works best, but I personally have a CD with Star Spangled Banner on it, so I play that as loud as I can.  Just leave the line open with the music blasting until they hang up.

If you have a little more time to mess with them:
a.    Ask if they are related to the deceased (insert your name here as the “deceased”) or just a family friend, because “the viewing of the body if for family only, but the memorial service is open to everyone.”  Ask if they would like directions to the funeral.
b.    Simply tell them that you have read all about their scam on the internet & seen it on the news on TV, so you aren’t paying anything.  Don’t listen to any response, just hang up on them after saying this.
c.    Use this one only if you are willing to be as crude as they are:  Using the name they gave you (i.e., “Officer Mike Taylor” was the last one I got), say, “Is the this THE Officer Mike Taylor I read about on the internet?  Is it true what the posts online say, that you have such a small d**k that even camels won’t have sex with you?”  Then hang up on them.
d.    (For this one, I must first apologize to PETA and all vegans, but it highly offends the scammers because they consider cows to be divine beings.)  Tell them you don’t have time to speak with them, because you work at a slaughter house and you have over 100 cattle you need to “kill off” before the end off the day.  Then hang up on them.
e.    Are you good with theatrics?  Then try this one…it was actually highly effective for me:  Put on your deepest, scariest, growliest voice and just whisper into the phone over and over, “I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you…”.  Just keep whispering it over and over until they hang up.  I think this one worked well because they are quite superstitious.
f.    If you know a foreign language, answer the phone in it and just keep talking in unintelligible phrases.  The more obscure the language, the better.  Don’t know a foreign language?  Pig Latin seems to work just as effectively.
g.    Ask if they are calling from the convenience store, and can they give you last night’s winning lottery numbers, because you are sure you have won.  For any response they give to it, just keep yelling over and over, “I won! I won!”
h.    When you answer the phone, ask them where your pizza is and tell them because they didn’t get it to you in the “30 minutes”, you’re not paying for it.  Hang up.
i.    Tell them you are at work right now, but to call you back on your “home” phone, and give them this number: 202-835-0778.  (This is the scam and fraud reporting division number at the FBI.)  Hang up.

If you are REALLY p***ed off, and have plenty of time to screw with them:

a.    Go on to Craig’s List and post an ad in the wanted section or services section  saying you are looking for a payday loan company because you need a loan.  Ask they call you right away.  List the scammer’s name and phone number as the contact information.  (This sends the scum-sucking bottom feeders off to call the other scum sucking bottom feeders…LOL)
b.    Go online and look for every free daily horoscope, free insurance quote, free mortgage lending, etc., and click on the “have an agent contact me” link.  Type in the scammer’s name and phone number.  Viola!  Now they will get flooded with telemarketers as well.
c.    If you would like to blow off steam, and have no problem with swearing, just keep calling them over and over pretending you have Tourette’s Syndrome by just screaming obscenities in the phone until they hang up.  This works pretty good in the car, because no one else can hear you and it is a good tension reliever.
d.    Log onto these payday loan sites and enter all of the scammers’ information on it.  This way they might even wind up on their own list!
e.    (Do NOT attempt this one unless you have state of the art spyware & virus protection, and even then, you still are taking a risk):  Go into your spam folder on your computer.  Find every email you can about “you won millions of dollars” or “the Nigerian lottery” or something to that effect.  Send it back with all of the scammers’ contact information.
f.    Research for the phone numbers to both local and national TV news stations “breaking news desk”.  Again, tell the scammer on the phone to call you at your “work number” and give the number to the news station’s phone number.  (Hopefully, if the news stations get enough of these calls, they will start airing more stories about it, reaching more people and reduce the number of victims that fall for this.)

Again, before sending money to ANYONE, stop. Think.  Do you have any paperwork showing you owe money?  If not, ask for paperwork.  If they refuse to send it, they are scammers.  A real collection agency will always: 1. provide paperwork; 2. never yell or cuss at you; 3. never require you to pay first before receiving paperwork; 4. never identify themselves as an officer of law enforcement; 5. never threaten you with jail, arrest or physical harm.

Good luck everyone, and if you need any help or suggestions, feel free to email me at rockk9s@aol.com."
