695-304-3077 / 6953043077

received a call from this number. Did not answer in time. Can't seem to trace where this number came from. One search said it was not in the U.S. Probably a solicitor or something similar.

I DID NOT ANSWER, BUT LOOKED UP EVERYWHERE. and FOUND this IN MR NUMBER: "NO NAME FOUND" OFFERING MORTGAGE" .

Telemarketer calling cell phones to get you to try a machine. They are also using the ploy to get you to press 2 to be removed from their data base. Doing that only tells them that you have a live number. Report them to the National Do Not Call number 888-382-1222.

Sorry, but "live" or "dead" does not seem to make much difference. If the number rings through it is live, elsewise the telco will return a "no-such-number type signal." I have good call blocking for a repeat caller, but block/answer/no answer/ voice mail/dead air. They keep coming like the Energizer bunny.

Robocall: A very "real sounding" "John Daniels," President, North American Bank Card wants to offer credit card merchant services with no contract, free terminal, best rates. Press 1 to continue. Press 1 asked for call back phone number and before this could be done (a dummy number of course) line was disconnected.

695-304-3077, not a legitimate US area code, caller ID spoofing a mexican area code. Prerecorded message for merchant card services. Can't file a complaint when the DNC complaint form doesn't recognize the phone number as a legitimate US area code and refuses the complaint form. Don't waste any time with this one, just read here and ignore.

Recorded Message from First Merchant Funding, I hung up after that so I don't know what they were trying to sell and frankly I don't care.

I have a couple of ways to deal with these parasites. First, I let the phone ring three full times before I pick up. I pick up and don't say anything for 2-3 seconds. If it is a computer autodialer, 80-90% of the time the computer will hang up thinking it has gotten a voice mail or answering machine. After 2-3 seconds, I say our company name, but don't give out my name. That way they don't automatically have a name if they call back and get someone else. If I still get a person and they insist, I tell them my name is "Richard Smith"(it's not). It is none of their business what my real name is, they are telescammers who are breaking the law. If they persist in calling over and over again, I tell them that my boss is available, and then I use a sports air horn right next to the phone. What are they going to do, sue me? "Your Honor, I was illegally telescamming and they deafened me!" Good luck with THAT argument. The judge might give me a medal. Reporting these "people"(I use that term loosely) to the Do Not Call Registry is futile, they are usually spoofing their phone number anyway. If you have the time, have some fun with them. See how long they will stay on hold or still be on the line if you put the phone down. Take your cordless into the bathroom and have an extended "deposit" at the Porcelain Bank, complete with very loud fake sound effects. Tell them you ARE the boss and listen to their sales pitch, never saying yes to anything, but always saying that you will look at your numbers and see what you can do. Some scammers will record any affirmative answer you give and then splice it into a call and bill you for whatever they are selling, using that as evidence of an order. Waste as much of their time as you can, because that keeps them from scamming other people, and it can be a really fun stress reliever! Anything that we can do to make this less profitable for these ticks on the butt of humanity is a plus. Feel free to pass this on or add to it with your fun ways of taking back your phone lines. If these idiots would get a real job, the world would be a better place for all of us.

you have way too much spare time if you waste so much of it playing with these callers and writing long descriptions of it.

this is a real bad scam and is stupid!!!!!!!!do not answer the call!
