Question by Butchie Y: How can I stop telemarketing calls on my cell phone?
I keep getting calls from seemingly random area codes and numbers, with an automated voice telling me that “This is my second notice that the factory warranty on my vehicle is about to expire.” This is all BS because that happened long ago. How can I stop them from calling, they call me about once a week, every week, and I am so angry.

Question by In God We Trust: CONSUMER ALERT – BEWARE: Calls from “Job Line”?
Beware!!!! This is actually $ 9/Minute Scam

Consumers report receiving automated message calls from a service calling itself “The Jobline” where you’re told they have jobs for you. It’s just a scam. If you call the number back, you will get charged $ 9 per minute, according to messages left in online forums where people share information on telemarketing numbers. They seem to be using the number 976-4477 in different area codes. A scam targeting people already hard up for work and money, that’s pretty high on the Richter scale of sleaziness.

You should contact the Attorney General in your particular State, the Better Business Bureau and other government agencies about this scam.

Please watch your caller IDs so as NOT to get caught up in this mess.

By all means, please tell me what you think about this matter.

Question by bubble: Is anybody getting telemarketing calls on their cell phone?
I always thought they’d only call your home number but apparently not. This morning my cell phone woke me up and it was the same “courtesy” call I’ve been getting on my home phone for like half a year now! Has anybody else been getting or has gotten any type of telemarketing calls on your cell phone before?
I only text occasionally and only to a few of my close friends, nobody or nothing else. What puzzles me is that it’s the same call I’ve been getting on my home phone. They’ve been calling for months and months now, about 3 calls a day.

Nope….but I think I know why…sometimes organizations(like the places you text after seeing a commercial) sell your # to telemarketers. And the only way I heard of for getting rid of that is paying for an extra service to block that. Or if it’s just 1 #, have your provider block the #.

Question by CodeVeronica: I keep getting telemarketing phone calls from the phone number: “(866) 270-6730″ (without the quotation marks)?
I keep getting telemarketing phone calls from the phone number: (866) 270-6730

Almost every single time (if not every time) the person (or automated calling machine) never says anything or leaves any messages. I have told hem to stop calling, but they haven’t. They call me like 20 times a day, everyday (even holidays). The name on the Caller ID is “TOLL FREE CALL” (in all caps), and the number is the one I said above (8662706730). What should I do?

Best answer:

Answer by Robert W
Report the number to the FCC and file a complaint. You can do that online.
When you told them to stop calling, you should have said, “Take me off your list” They will take you off the list after about 3 days.
By law, they are only allowed to call between 8 am to 8 pm and no more than 3 times a day

Question by StupendousMan: Does telemarketing work?Do you “shop” when some one calls over?
I am always at a no when they call and hang up.. does any one really go for it?

Answer by sweet_scentsation2001
I NEVER buy anything that someone tries to sell me over the phone or at my front door. My home is my sanctuary, a place to relax and enjoy my family and friends. When telemarketers invade my home, I inform them that when I wish to purchase something I will go to a store or order online or possibly order from a catalog, but I will not order from someone who invades my home and interrupts my meals or relaxation. =-)

Question by Brandy T: Is there a new national “do not call” list to avoid telemarketing calls?
I signed up on a list several years and the calls stopped. Now I am getting approx. 6 calls a day. Did something happen that I don’t know about that would result in these annoying calls?

Best answer:

Answer by Ed Atun
No. It is still www.donotcall.gov. At one time it was set to expire after 5 years but it was extended. The government has used all its resources to fight terrorism. There have been only 4 prosecutions against phone scammers. So the scammers have gotten brave. www.800NOTES.com (not my website) has lists of all the scammers. You can enter a phone number of a caller and find who it was because others have searched and found them.

This goes for my landline, and my cell phone. I live in Brooklyn, NY and I think my phone service is cingular, if that makes any difference.
