It's a scam!!! Even if just answer it will charge you $9.99 a min!!!

I simply saved the number in my phone (using the name "XXX do not ans.") and changed the ring to silent.  Have done this on several "annoying" phone numbers.

I  just  received  a phone  call  from  this  place and the  person i  spoke wit h was  nasty to me  told me to  stop drinking  coffee  and eating donuts  I want  these people to  stop calling me  I'm on a  due  not  call list what  else  can i  do

Here's a useless story from Fox 6 in Milwaukee
http://fox6now.com/2012/09/09/contact-6-avoid ... ember-services/

I have asked them 3 times to stop calling. I am on the national no-call list, and just reregistered in case it had expired. He started out saying I asked him to call back.
I don't understand. Do they really think that harassing people after they say no make them change their minds?  Or do they get paid by the number of calls, not number of sales?
Don't bother trying to be polite. These people have crossed the line.

This number called my (Unlisted) cell phone; it rang once and then they hung up. Didn't leave a message. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.

Receive calls from this number all the time on my cell phone. Message states that this is Ann to lower my credit card interest rate. I don't have any credit cards. I am on the do not call list. I did enter "1" to speak to a representative and when I told her I didn't have any credit cards she simply hung up.

Got a call from this number on my cell phone.

What can be done to stop these?

"Rachel" has been calling me for over four years now. I've asked to be removed numerous times, been told it takes up to 3 weeks to be removed, have been laughed at, told them I've filed for bankruptcy, and yelled really vile curses at them. I've pretended to be stupid and not understand the process and therefore waste their call time. Next I will try speaking a foreign language.

Just got a call.  Caller hung up immediately.  Tried phoning the number, got a busy signal.

prerecorded message to lower interest rates.  Pushed 1 for live person.  Asked what company she was representing - she said "client services"  I asked her to repeat it.  She said " I am not going to stay on the phone for 30 minutes repeating things"  then she hung up.  My number is registered on the 'national do not call registry'  I used the link to file a formal FCC complaint.  I encourage you all to do the same.  The report only took 3-4 minutes.

I don't usually answer if I don't recognize the number. They never leave a message. Different numbers, but they call daily either mid-morning or late-afternoon, so I think it is the same group.  Once I did answer and a spiel started about saving money on my credit cards... It appeared to be automated.

Called cell 9/10 - No message, only silence- No one I know - Not the first time

People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office and also file with:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done.

The calls are being made from outside the US however most of the call centers (where you actually talk to someone after pressing 1) are in the US and the companies making the money from the scam are owned by people in the US. They will charge thousands of dollars on your credit card without performing any services.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC. Keep complaining to the FTC and FCC, and start bugging our politicians to pass laws to make it punishable in criminal court instead of handing out fines that they don't pay. Another course of action is to contact phone companies to find out why they won't block spoofed numbers. With today's technology that should be an easy thing to do, unless they are somehow profiting from the use of their systems.

The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them nothing and they can make a million of them a day so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

For anyone thinking of using Special Information Tones (or as they're called in the industry SIT tones) to fake a non working phone number, they won't work. Since around 2001-2002, the costs of digital business lines have dropped dramatically, along with Voice over IP (Internet) telephone service. Neither of these use the SIT tones as the call information is carried separate from the audio.
This separate call information tells the calling party digitally if the call was answered, busy, voice mail, forwarded, rejected, etc. This renders SIT tones useless. Also the TeleZapper products that used to be on the market used this method as well, and were rendered ineffective for the same reasons.
It is also through this separate call information message that the spoofed caller ID information is transmitted.

Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.

You can also try suing them in small claims court. This site has some information on how to proceed.      http://www.killthecalls.com/

Pacific Telecom Communications Group
Follow JD's recommendations in the blog and stop them at the source.

Many of the disposable numbers come from Pacific Telecom Communications Group and they are currently under investigation and in the midst of various lawsuits. (The principles involved have been part of actions by the FCC under other business names).These businesses have ripped people off for millions of dollars, yet have paid only a couple of thousand dollars in fines. The only way to stop them is to throw them in prison for a few years to make this criminal activity less attractive.

The Oregon Public Utilities Commission has revoked Pacific Telecom's certificate to provide telecom services in Oregon.

The Indiana Attorney General’s Office filed lawsuits against:
Consumer Credit Group and Proactive Planning Solutions of Arizona for violating Indiana’s Do Not Call Law and Auto-Dialer Act known as the robo-call law. Both companies violated the Credit Service Organization Act and Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining $25,000 surety bonds with the state and collecting money upfront without performing any services.
Debt Zero of California for collecting money up front, failing to provide services or a refund and operating without a $25,000 surety bond.
Clear One Advantage of Maryland and Credit Arbitrators of Texas for violating the Credit Service Organization Act and the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining the required surety bonds.

FTC is sending refund checks to 4,468 consumers “who allegedly were defrauded by a telemarketer who used robocalls (prerecorded voice messages) to pitch worthless credit card rate reduction programs for an up-front fee.”

Proof that current laws mean nothing to these scum suckers. Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant jail time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. Here are just a few:

Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved. Since they are operating across borders it should become a federal felony and should be handled by the FBI under the RICO Act.

I don't know who this is when I pick up the phone there was nobody on the other end automatic hang up try to call back rang in busy.

Card member services once again with a spoofed number. TOTAL SCAM and my dream would be that someone would find out who they are and that they have a call center in Denver then I would go POSTAL on their entire operation.

They have been calling me for years and here are the 3 best sites I have found with info. I have blocked my number and called some of these numbers at times and to try to talk to a manager with no luck and then just called to PUNK them back until they would not answer my calls but at least its FUN to turn the tables on them and annoy them with calls. http://onthespotblog.com/the-hunt-for-rachel-at-cardholder-services/ https://complaintwire.org/complaint/X19RuBAL3AU/card-member-services http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26458611-Sca ... sited~start=140

I don't want this caller calling me.

The call is from Ann in account services.
She has called me hundreds of times -- all from different numbers. I block them and she still gets through.
What is wrong with law enforcement and our federal government that they can't protect good citizens from this kind of harassment and fraud?
