7012645001

I continue to receive calls from this number.  I've tried to talk with them and the only time I got a person, they were extremely rude.  So over it.

Just another call from Card Services.  About once a week always from a different number.  Haven't the FCC or even the FBI investigated this?  There are thousands of people that experience this everyday and I still see no action from authority trying to stop this.

Very obscene language and very rude. Someone needs to have this number shut off and never give this person a phone or a number to where they can call anyone!

I also keep receiving these calls and when I press "1" to speak to a "representative" (they don't say a rep for what!!), I tell the rep to immediately remove me from their call list only to be immediately hung up on!!  I have also done the press "1" to be removed from their call list, but I still get these damn calls on a daily basis!!

It's a big time SCAM using an illegal auto dialer. File charges with the FTC at FTC.gov NOW before they call you back.

Recorded call that is unwarranted. When I hang up and then call back it says that this number is disconnected and belongs to Pacific Telecommunications Group. Shows up on iphone as Dickinson, ND.

code........     and that was it

The same thing happens to me.  They hang up and a few weeks later they call again!!

I received 5 calls yesterday from this number, the lady asked me  for my security 3 digit code and also told me i had a visa card and that the first digit was a four and then asked me to give her the rest of the numbers on my card so she could verify who she was talking with she said that she had my account pulled up and just needed to verify , i said well ok you called me so isnt that verification enough? she started getting irritated at me because i kept asking questions,(i was digging for information) and she kept insisting that she was looking at my account and she didnt understand why i wouldnt just give her the numbers for verification, Finally i said " because [***] i dont even have a credit card so how in the hell do you have my account pulled up? and then she hung up. i tried to call teh number back and it said that it was a disconnected number

repeated recorded or unanswered calls - and then phone resets - reported for possible fraud of cloning phone-line, but I have good software protection and cleaned phone after call - also reported to  Federal Do Not Call Registry

Just reported to FTC -- But based on this thread, it will do nothing. I do what one of you do as well. My wife does as well. We say ... "Oh, just a min, I've been waiting for this call, then put the phone down and go back to what we are doing." It doesn't affect them greatly but if we all did it they would have to stop calling. That is what gets me, they do this because they make a profit.

Called about how I like the area I live in and about how we could inprove it ..didn't stop the caller I hope they didn't try to hack my P C it was on at the time How can I get rid of them forever

a relative told me to download the comodo  firewall.  he said it is intrusion but then nothing can be hacked.

D....
..i got it to...soooo sick of this..i am on do nit call list...whats the sense of having it if it dont work..i DO NOT ANSWER ANY CALLS THAT ARE RESTRITED,UNKNOWN OR UNAVAILABLE...wasting your time abd my minutes...or any nunber I dont know..

I just received a call from 701.264.5001 & since i'm at work was unable to answer it. I've had previous calls from multiple numbers and it does not do any good to ask them to take you off their calling list nor does it help to report them or put the number on the DO NOT CALL registry. What DOES work is to play along with them and when they ask if you want to consolidate your credit card, answer with a very excited "OH, YES!!" at this point they will ask if you have a certain amount of debt (ie: $5000+), that's when i say no i have about a $500 debt on one card.....this is when they get very despondent and say, oh, well then, i'll just take you off our calling list.  TADA!!! no more phone calls and it really works well cuz you just bummed up their quota for the day.

Obnoxious caller. I have registered my number with the DNC registry but it doesn't seem to matter to these people. Really?

I've gotten many calls like this from "accout services" it's all a PHISHING SCAMMERS, I spoke with the FTC and he said there are many callers like that so I gave him the numbers that showed up on my caller ID  Don't know how to get rid of them. guess everyone should call FTC 877-382-4357. If we all take note of the numbers and keep calling the FTC to complain maybe, just maybe something will be done. But these are not telemarketers, I used to be one and when we called someone and they said "take my number off your list." We did it's the law. but these crooks don't play by the law, in fact one of them called me every name in the book I mean really bad name. So don't call these ppl telemarketers they are PHISHING SCAMMERS.OUT TO GET YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. THEY DO NOT GO BY ANY LAWS.

well you came out of it good that same number called me and I was getting sick of those ppl calling so like you I said, yes I have 3 cards which I really don't have any, which I have told them in the past, then he said what's your interest rate I said 21% he then asked What's your card number I said I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS. well he called me ever nasty name in the book. these are nothing but PHISHING SCAMMERS, I pitty the fools that give these jerks (putting it mildly) any info, they don't go by the laws the best thing to do is write down there phone # and call the FTC @ 877-382-4357 and give them the #/#'s

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.

Check here first to see if it is one of their phone numbers:

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.

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.

You may be interested in reading a news release this office issued in May 2010, warning about scam telephone calls using spoofed North Dakota (701 area code) telephone numbers, at http://www.ag.nd.gov/NewsReleases/2010/05-25-10A.pdf. Since then, we have received reports from across the country of other scams using spoofed ND phone numbers. Unfortunately, scam artists ignore state and federal laws, which is why the Do Not Call registry is not preventing these calls.
