206-397-5769

Has called a few times over the year. Caller-id says ALERT but no message is ever left.

Another SCAMMER calling named ALERT.
Would not leave a message.

SCAMMERS----I AM NOT INTERESTED.

The call started with a recording information senior citizens or anyone over 60 years old that they were entitled to #3,000 worth of free food stands and a free medical alert bracelet or monitoring device in case the senior had a fall or an accident or needed special assistance.  ( How many people over 60 years old need medical alerts?  This call was really stupid.  I don't know what kind of kids believe that people over 60 suddenly are infirm and unable to do anything at all!).  The call then instructed the recipient of the call to press one to speak to an operator.  I pressed one and demanded how my number was obtained.  The recipient of the call was a man with a thick foreign accent who insisted that I must have opted -in somewhere for his advertising.  I told him that I never did.  In fact I yelled at him and called him a damn Gypsy, some other expletives and to get out of American.  I continued to curs him until he hung up.  I then reported the call to the FTC as a Do Not Call List violation, which the call was.  I do not feel compelled to be anything except rude and ugly to these people who call me unsolicited.  What are they going to do back?  Report me to the FTC when they were the one who violated the Do Not Call List in the first place, and happen to be obnoxious foreigners also, who also violated my inner serenity by calling me on the phone, and disturbing me on an early Saturday morning? It makes me happy to curse them over the phone.  Perhaps if enough people cursed the and cussed them out each time they got a live person, perhaps eventually they will get the message and  become discouraged and quit!.  I don't like these people who call, and I think that they should know how very much disliked and despised they are!  Also, I informed the FTC of the whole thing, including the part about cussing out the "operator."  To me, these folks are deliberately provoking an irate response in a senior citizen by deliberately targeting individuals whom they believe are helpless seniors.

Caller ID'd as Seattle Wa. 206 397 5769.  I did not recognise the number so I did not answer. No message was left. A scammer no doubt.  You would think with all the spying our NSA does on the American people, that they would be able to track down, prosecute, and imprison these fraudsters for their crimes. Our Do Not Call registry system is seriously flawed, when they have not caught them after all these years. We should abandon the Do Not Call system and those employed by it, and put the money saved into a more worthwhile project.  

I have received calls listed as 'alert '. I did not answer; they left no message . I have been listed on the do not call list, however that does not cover charities and such , so some are ckng under that guise now . I also have a number I cannot trace as yet because it is listed 'private  1 ' I personally think that the number should be correctly shown , so that the people can be traced or I would know if it was simply a wrong number and nothing more . Only people with something to hide would need to disguise their name and number.
