216-242-1247

Don't know who called.  It was a long pause, then disconnected.  Another number to add to call blocker!

Was expecting a call from this area code, so I answered. Now blocked. Free Bahamas cruise scan.

Blocked this number. Have a number of 216-24? numbers blocked on my phone. I think it is the same place but use all different phone numbers.When call back, always get a busy signal.

They left me a voicemail saying "You won a free cruise for two. You can redeem it after completing a short survey." SCAM

Left no message

Caller ID said "OHIO CALL".  I am in Cleveland OH, but these "Ohio Calls" are normally junk.  I picked up in a hope that it might have been different, but nobody answered the line and it just disconnected eventually.

Ditto, 1/2 hour ago, caller id said Cleveland, OH.  Left no message.

Selling (giving away?) cruises.  Scam or DNC list violation.

Both..

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

Saw missed call on my office phone. 3pm on a Saturday. No msg left.

Multiple calls. No message, or no one on line when I've picked up.  Same thing with 216 242 1245. And I've put my phone lines on the DNC list more than once. Doesn't seem to matter.

I just happened to pick up my phone in the last few minutes to see the interactions & calls I  have missed today. I have a smartphone from Verizon and this call I had missed. I have the Call Control app which catches these annoying calls who simply are phishing to obtain one's personal information, likely for identity theft.
Tho the area code is for the Cleveland, Ohio area whoever keeps using Cleveland area's numbers are spoofing off other people's numbers in the area.
My Call Control app did its job once again by catching this call and blocking this number so that I wasn't hindered by these criminals who continue to keep calling.It marked the phone call as Telemarketing Spam. No true company came up on my phone's caller ID, just the phone number.
For those who get their apps through Google Play Store, I highly recommend the app. Since I put it on my smartphone I am not bothered by these people tho I do see the Call Control's record that the call happened, was blocked and what the call was..
I wish landlines could have this Call Control feature. It would make life quieter and less annoying with these people calling over and over and over again.
One would think that with these people targeting people for personal information in hopes of identity theft that federal law officials would track these people down.

Robo call--"Congratulations! You've won a free trip to the Bahamas."  They also called using number 216-242-1246.

PLEASE REPORT THIS AS SPAM OR UNWANTED CALL AND BLOCK IN THE FUTURE

Robo call stated "Hi this is Tim from the customer service department".  I hung up.  What customer service department?  From which company?  Total scam whatever the next line is.

Called this number back. Got an recorded message: "Thanks for calling. The survey you have called for is now finished."

Called several times. Never leaves message

Called again, last call 10/30/15 from this number. Found 216-242-1246 is also the notorious "Congratulations! You've won a free trip to the Bahamas." spammer that continues although pursued by FTC; supposedly shut down according to news release March 4, 2015 https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-release ... ainst-political. I will report there other numbers 216-242-1247 and 216-630-5554 to the FTC.

Free Bahamas cruise scam.  I get this call over and over even though they say they'll remove me from their call list.  I report it to the FTC DNC list, but I don't think they actually do anything but come to work and draw salaries.
