Called our house about 12:30 pm. We did not answer and they did not leave a message. We are on state and federal do not call lists.
It doesn't help to be on the do not call list when called by the druggie card service scammers. Only legitimate businesses obey the list.
I have contacted the FCC and the Do Not Call Registry, I was told that I need a Business name, I have gotten many calls too many to count, from different phone number NOT just this Nevada number 775-229-1197. So these people are calling from numerous places.If you have a cell phone you can block the phone number, but then next time they call it may be a different number, what a never ending circle jerk this is. This is really getting on my nerves, I sure wish there was some way of busting these scammers! I would love to be in the party to see these people go to jail!
Called 9/19/2013 1:51PM. Caller ID'd as Cell phone NV 775 229 1197. They left a message telling me this was my last chance to reduce my credit card %rate. I did not answer. Never do. Never will. If you give out personal information to anyone you do not know or do not do business with, then you deserve to deal with the consequences. There has been enough advice about these scammers over the past few years, so smarten up and drive them out of business or into prison. Don't answer the damn phone.!!!!!!!!
yahoo, my first call from this number. call came in at 5.49pm. too bad I wasn't home to take the call.. caller left no message............tuff sh*t.................I did confirm my home # is on the Do Not Call list. Interesting, there is a disclaimer on the Do Not Call Register website that reads, by registering, this will stop MOST telemarketers................my luck............these calls will keep coming................
It varies by carrier. Contact whomever you have your phone service with and just ask them. I block fools all the time. They only bug me once.
The people that actually make the calls for these scum sucking, bottom feeder collections attorneys are mostly drug addicts and alcoholics working in a smoke filled phone room with 20-100 of their ilk. They work there because no one else will hire them. They are the losers. The "managers" are just like them and are only people that have been there for more than a few months (high turn over, the drug addicts and alcoholics don't stay for long as when they get a little money together, they slink off to some dung heap to get high, drunk and dead). Don't expect anyone there to do anything about the behavior. They treat people like this because that is the way mommy and daddy treated them. And they treat everyone in their measly little worthless lives like this.The verbal assault is very typical of ALL these types of groups. This is fun for them. Probably half a dozen of them laughing when the person assaulting you hangs up. Plus they will lie to you. Threaten all kinds of actions that they legally cannot do (like "The sheriffs deputies are on their way to arrest you, kiss your doggie goodbye because you're going to jail and they will be there any minute" and other similar threats) (it's [***]). And some are brash enough to claim to be, or to allude to being, law enforcement or represent some actual part of an Attorney Generals or other legitimate government office. If you can catch them (as in a recording, or with witnesses) actually claiming to be a law enforcement officer, you might own them. You may be able to win a lawsuit and THEY will pay off all your debt, past and for the foreseeable future. And they may then be facing criminal charges. State laws will govern this, they are complex and vary from state to state. Probably going to take an attorney to really be able to get any real recourse, but it is possible sometimes. Mostly they are LLCs and don't have any assets just to isolate the real boss/owner from getting THEIR bank accounts emptied by civil suits. The call centers are likely pretty removed from the bottom feeding attorneys that contract with them. So don't expect anyone to really give a rats backside even if you can contact the actual lawyers office.The best way to deal with this, if you do have the financial means, and do actually have an outstanding debt, is to try to settle the debt. But don't just send the bottom feeders money. The one that contacted you may NOT have a legal right to the debt they are claiming to be collecting. There is A LOT of scammery going on with some of these bottom feeders. Contact the original financial institution and find out from them who legally has the right to the debt. They don't want you to do any checking (that's why they will say just about anything and threaten just about anything to get you to give them money right then, right there, they want you scared and uninformed). A legitimate collector will be glad to get money (cashiers check, money order) through the mail. They will have a REAL office with a REAL mailing address. Never give them access to your accounts or a credit card number. Even the more legitimate ones will empty your account given half a chance. They don't care if your kids go hungry, they have a Mercedes payment to make.Other than that, don't get too wound up, if you haven't received any paperwork/documents from a real court, there isn't much that they can do. And there are laws about who they can call, and when they can call. Again, these laws vary from state to state. Some internet reading my provide you with the information you need and procedures to follow to stop them calling other people and your work place. And in some instances people have won civil suits against some of these companies. Some for a lot of money. But then, you still have to collect (see above paragraph).I am not an attorney/lawyer. So take this information as being worth what you paid for it. ;) For real legal advice, contact a real lawyer. It may save you some money. Maybe.Also a note, blowing a whistle, or air horn or other annoying/loud noise into the phone, is not going to make their ear ring. May make you feel better, but that's about all it will do. The phone systems have signal limiters and filters that limit the loudness of sounds going through them. It may sound annoying at the other end, but that's all it will do. (I AM a communications technician)Oh, also another note, the DNC (Do Not Call list) doesn't apply to political parties (note that the a$$hole politicians exempted themselves from this law like they are a ruling class, Atypical behavior), some nonprofit charities, and political action committees, Also entities (businesses/institutions) and their "affiliates" that you have done business with are exempt. So don't cap on the DNC list when you get these calls. Oh yeah, and scammers/criminals don't care. Since they are operating illegally anyway.K
