212-565-0001

I just got the samething... Left no voice mail or message... Id name said Google

I am on the DNC list, how do they get this number?

Called 8:38PM.  Left no VM.

From some sort of MORTAGE COMPANY in New York, so Canadians you cannot get on the DNC list.
They actually hung up on me when I asked.

Yep...Called back and it was a fax.

Same thing here.  Called about Obama's bill regarding mortgages or something.

I rent...lol

I'm on a "do not call" list, yet this number has dialed me twice in the last 2 weeks.

Likely it's an autodialer, which is supposed to be illegal, but then those that use them don't care.

Not sure why you made the comment about Canadians not being able to get on the DNC list. Of course they can't get on a US one, but possibly Canada runs something similar? I don't know. I'm not Canadian so I've never checked. If you're a Canadian and you asked about the DNC list, they probably realized they'd made a call that wasn't going to net them anything, the scum suckers. I'm betting though it's just another scammer trying to make an illegal buck. The CID on my phone said GOOGLE. I don't know anyone at Google who would be calling me. It's not like I was job hunting there or know anyone who works for them. Spoofing names and phone numbers is also illegal and a sure sign it's a scam.

Scammers don't care about DNC lists since they use illegal robo dialers. They never check any lists. There have been some major crack downs in recent months on these types of calls, but I suspect that won't last for long. The scammers just move on to another place and another racket and start calling again.

Ever since the US Gov't passed the mortgage refinance bills in 2011/2012, there seemed to have been a plethora of scams running using mortgage refinancing as their hook. Some left messages and some did not. I only answered a few, when the CID would come up as a bank I use, but any others I just let go to vm. I haven't gotten any in several months, which is fine with me. I don't have a mortgage, so I would just hang up after stating that, sometimes after saying something rude too.

There are also call centers around the country who make legit calls for real banks and mortgage companies. Unfortunately for us, we never know unless we answer the call. If it's real, likely they'll leave a vm, but the scammers do too sometimes.

I feel sad for the poor suckers who work for those companies and don't even know they aren't legit. One of my friends' daughters (I'll call her Megan) took a job in 2005, just after graduating high school, with a local call center that was supposedly helping with people with debt refi. After being there for two months, Megan was hauled into her manger's office and yelled at for not filling her quota (read: making the company more money). Megan was so upset she called me crying, begging me to come pick her up (as her mom had her car and she wasn't answering her phone). When Megan told me what had happened, I told her it sounded like a scam to me. She hadn't been fired, but she was put on probation for one month. Now tell me this, why would any company purportedly set up to help people reduce their debt loads require a quota from the employees?

I said she should contact the FBI to have them looked into. Next thing I knew, Megan became the "inside man" for the sting. So, it turned out I was right. The company was charging the clients they hooked exorbitant fees on their credit cards, while supposedly reducing the clients' debts (actually they were adding to them) by supposedly lowering their credit card interest rates, which most times, they couldn't really do, and only the client could. So, the refi company wasn't really helping anyone except themselves.

Left no VM.  Probably a SPAM call.

I pressed 1 and said 'Thank you so much for calling me. Would you please remove this number from your calling list?" Then I hung up. Yes  - it's some sort of mortgage refinance program. The number they dialed is my work cell - and I work for the county Sheriff!

No message left.

I pressed 1.  Asked for the name of the company.  "Real Estate Mortgage Services".  Told them i was on the DNC list, to remove my name/number from the list and hung up.  I then proceeded to file a complaint with the FCC.

Just called me and left no message

Just called me now. No VM.

i received a call ..representative said mortgage relief help....when I asked for name of company to verify I was told mortgageservices.com for company...
when I called the number back it was a fax number...I tried again with 212 565 0000 and gentleman said it was GOOGLE

I got the call today. I'm also on the DNC list. I called Google. It isn't them. Someone has apparently using their fax number.

I too filed with FCC.

They dial ALL of the numbers in a particular area code.   They don't have your name and number, they just "war dial" every number there could possibly be in a particular area code hoping to hit a few stupid people dumb enough to give them what they are looking for.

There is NO such animal as a "super secret squirrel" phone number.  An "unlisted number" or a "private number" is simply one that isn't published in a directory - anyone can call your number so long as they manage to dial the right combination of digits.  

So, how did they get your number?  It was the next sequence of digits on their auto-dialer.

919-555-1212
919-555-1213
919-555-1214
919-555-1215
and so forth and so on until they run out of all possible 919 numbers - then it's on to the next area code.

This scammer is faking the number to a Google office in NY.   This is one of their fax numbers.

The baboon that called me played a robo-call about "Obama Home help" for some type of mortgage modification scam they are trying to run.

If you get called by these crooks - RUN is what you should do.  

Most of these scammers are outside of the USA, so they could care less about the Do Not Call List.   It is pretty much unenforceable against them.   Not so for the companies INSIDE the USA that are BUYING these "leads" from this scammer and then following up on them.

ALWAYS - if you are on the DNC List - POST A COMPLAINT.  It is the only way to get these idiots caught and hopefully slow them down a little.
