NOT SURE WHO THEY ARE, CALLS ARE RECEIVED EVERYDAY
They are trying to get you to commit to accepting "free money" from the government. They claim that you requested information about recieving governmental grants. Answer, ask them to remove you from their list of contacts and enjoy your life! ;)
They have called me 12 times and started this morning, only i dont hear n e 1 they hang up when i pick up and when i call back its a stupid signal, i already called that one number to take me off the stupid calling list... and they dont answer every time i call i dont know how to make it stop when there is noone on the recieving end HELP?!??
how would I do that? This number and a similar LA number call me multiple times daily. I live in ONTARIO! I'm in Canada, so how would I complain against these people?? From what I can find from other people getting these calls, it's all a scam to get your credit card info, and steal your money.
My cell phone has been ringing none stop since they got my number from who knows where. I just put in a complaint with the FCC. I just got another call minutes ago from this 213-228-8111 number. They stated they are global reach about grant money. I told the lady to take me off the list and that I have reported them to the FCC and she said alright and hung up on me. Hopefully this will help
they call me at the AOL AIM number I have. This number is not even published. How did they get that number. It is all a scam and GOOGLE and AOL are in it. The number they call me on is just a free number I got from AOL and it rings nowhere. It goes straight to voicemail...
This is my “Quick & Final Solution” to the problem: I program all those unwanted call numbers under a DNA ### file (Do Not Answer) in my mobile phone. Also, during the programming I turn OFF the ringer. So they can call me all they want I will never hear the ringer, and I never answer those DNA’s calls.
Ahhh...they got my cell number and I've had 15 calls today; I've just called verizonwireless and they are going to BLOCK this number; the BLOCK takes a few days to establish then it will last for 60 days. I went to www.msn.com and clicked on White Pages, did a Reverse Search, entered the number and it comes up somewhere in Los Angeles. I am already on the DO NOT CALL list so how the heck did this company get all of our numbers? We all need to complain to the FCC immediately.
when the program the number in your phone as you would a friends number and name it DNC(do not call)and in the ringer box for the number but "none" and you can't hear it ring.
Just a crazy Idea, has anyone read an email about government grants? can this be where the personal info comes from?The ygot my number also same stuff foreighn woman quite rude
I have received 13 calls today from 213-228-8111. They leave no message. When you call them back you are put on hold by a prerecorded message and they never answer. Is this a scam from collection acencies to see if you and or who answers your phone? Smells fishy to me!
No this isn't a scam from a collection agency, most agencies would actually leave a number for you to call them back from and also an agent name so that you would know who to ask for when you called...Unless they aren't the brightest of agents...I'm speaking from experience I work for a collection agency
They just called me again it was the 3rd time I answered quick enough to talk to them. They said they were from Grant Masters and wanted to send me a "free" CD with an application for Government Grants. Here is the catch they need your credit card info so you can pay the two dollar S&H fee. Not to mention they failed to contact someone that uses a credit card. Also they wasted so much of my time trying to catch them so I could tell them to stop calling me, and the hour I waited on hold for an agent. so when I finally got them on the phone i wasted 20 minutes of their time going listening to the pitch before quickly telling them that they were harrassing and to stop calling.
They keep calling me too. They tend to call me most when I am at work. When I pick up the phone they hange up on me. I finally got tired of the calls, so I called the number back. All i heard was elevator music then a computerized voice saying that I am next in line. Well, I waited for nearly 30 min before I ended the call. I can't take this any longer and I will be turning whoever this in to a higher autority.
ok i feel much better that im not the only one with dis irritating phone calls...i jut want to find where dese scums are and beat the crap outta them for nearly getting me fired from my job because of their non stop freaking calls...what pisses me off the most is that when i answer it hangs up...and when i call it back im on hold for what seems like forever then i just end up hanging up...WHO EVER THEY ARE BETTER STOP..ITS GETTING FRUSTRATING.
I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST!!!! They are calling me every hour...I told them no thanks, and don't call here anymore...hung up. They called 10 minutes later again...I didn't answer. Prior to that about a month ago, i said no thanks and hung up on them. You would think after i hang up on them they would get the message....TO STOP CALLING!!! I blocked their number, I didn't hear or see on my call display their number coming up for a week. Then all of a sudden I start seeing that they are calling again. They claim that I filled out a form on a weight loss website. As a rule I don't leave my phone number on forms, unless it's a government website. There's been times where they call every hour. I am more than fed up. To me it's harassment...can't they get charged for harassment calls????
They have started calling me today, ALL DAY and I am sick of it!! When I answer no one is there and they hang up so I can't tell them to stop calling. When I call them back there is a fast busy signal. I am getting hit with two different numbers 213-426-2702 & 213-228-8111. Can someone out there PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I am at work and I feel like I am running a switchboard!!!!
