Unsolicited spam call asking if I, or a loved one, has a drug or alcohol problem that they can help with. You press 1 to speak to a live rep and if you ask any questions about anything other than treatment they will hang up on you. I get a call from this number at least 3 times a week and if I could locate the business or person, physical therapy would be needed, not drug and alcohol treatment.

Female robot called today from the oh so generic "Drug & Alcohol Center." Press 1 for info or Press 9 to be [purportedly] removed from our calling list. Pressed 1 to see who was calling, put in a call que, a man comes on the phone, says he's from the just as generic "Crisis Center." As soon as he learned that a significant other didn't have her health insurance info immediately available, click. When I called back, the AT&T operator said "the # you dialed is not in service."

Query?? Without a valid company name, how can the FCC or FTC prosecute these scammers and their robots??  Some years ago Lois Greisman, FTC attorney, told the Los Angeles Times that people needed to "interact" [in reality, to pry info from a telemarketer, one must usually feign interest - after all, the first car warranty robo-call bust occurred after an engineer played along for 30 minutes until he got the telemarketer to slip up and say which entity would appear on his credit card statement].  It seems to be common among solid 800notes.com posters that Qs about company names and addresses are met by an immediate click.

    Or does the FCC/FTC have new means to find out who is really using a spoofed #?

I got the same call asking if I, or a loved one, has a drug or alcohol problem that they can help with. You press 1 to speak to a live rep.  I pressed 1 and played with him for about 10 minutes and had him hooked when I said I was financially well set and addicted to opiates.  He wanted me to travel for treatment.  Said the company was National Crisis, (a non profit) and he gave me his name as Bob Sugar.  He said he was in Ft Lauderdale.   I got a bit tired of playing with him so I told him that he called the FBI and that I knew who he was...he got a bit of a quiver in his voice and then someone in the background told him to hang up.   Play with them..waste their time..take it right up to the moment they want your money.  These guys are punks!

I got that same call today.

I keep getting these calls from this number and a lot of others.

Received same call on my work line. cannot call back the #. pressed 9 to be removed from the list which immediately terminated the call. Pressing 9 will relay back to them that the user who answered the phone interacted with the call which now confirms they have a valid working #. Best bet is to lure a person into believing you are interested in their scam and get a call back #, name, anything you can to shut these scum down.

If a thief knocks on your door, do you say "Oh, I don't allow you here", does he say "OK" and leaves !

The "Do Not Call List" was "The Tail that Waged the Dog".

Congress did something for the "benefit of the public good", their job was done.

Whether is was good or not, their job was done.

it's a scam to harvest live phone number.  pressing what ever number to opt out doesn't work, it just validates your number for them.  attempting to speak to real person will get you a real person that immediately hangs up phone.  phone number that comes up is not a valid number. report the contact to ic3.gov
