Illegal satellite TV auto dialed marketing call to my cell phone. I was out of service at the time, but my voicemail said they called from this number.
called my cell phone and hung up when I answered it. I called the number and it said "you have been removed from our preferred customer list" and hung up
This number called me last night, and I foolishly answered the phone. The speal I got was that Macy's Bloomingdales, Target and Wal-Mart travel agencies had received my number from a friend or family member who thought I might be interested in received $2600 towards a vacation. I hung up at this point. All of those store, except Wal-Mart, aren't relevant since I live in Canada!
I just got the same call ! It showed origination in Maryland~~~ yep, Bloomingdales, of all Stores, eh? Not in Canada, that's for sure ! Same offer~~"just press 9 and we'll do it for you for just $299. per person". I pressed 9 and set the phone down by the TV for a few minutes. I think that annoys them. Doesn't make up for how much they annoy me !!~~and it happens at least once a week! I've also on previous calls, pressed 9 and then said "Oh, excuse me just a sec, I want to get a pen and some papar so I can write this down"~~I then set the phone down and walk away to come back 5 minutes later with them gone~~LOL~~
I also received the call and it said something about Target, Bloomingdales, Walmart etc. I also live in Canada and the only store relevant is Walmart! They say a family member or friend of mine has previously visited one of the stores mentioned and put my name in for a contest! A winner for Cancun, Mexico! I just hung up after this!! Wish they would stop already!! I ended up blocking this number as well as many other's!!
Received call from (240)210-7117 8;01 P.M. Long Distance checked area code listed as Cumberland, MD did not leave message on message manager. Why are all these americans calling canadian phone numbers. Nothing better to do than phone peoples numbers???
Weird, caller ID said DEBT SERVICE, but it was a recording about getting satellite tv. They gave you an option to push 1 if interested or 9 to be removed from their call list.
I am so tired of these none stop calls from usa numbers, over seas numbers etc. WTH did I do to get on these lists??? I HAVE NO CREDIT CARDS I DONT GO ON VACATIONS
I have asked to be removed from ALL of these offensive calls MORE than 3 times so they are breaking the LAW!!! ARREST these people or something... gosh we are all in the same boat so how is it this continues to happen... and who ARE these companies?? Why cant WE call them back?? I'd call them at 1 am every day if I could.. SOB's
This number came up on Caller ID on my cell phone. Not sure how they got my cell number. Didn't recognize the number, so I didn't answer it. When I did a search of the number, I came across this site.
I didn't reply to the call at all and went on internet to find out more about this #. Would there be some techy person out there that can invent call prevention from these people as there are virus protectors in computers?
I have a whole list of numbers now that are who I think are the same people. This number is new and just now called. Here are other numbers that are scam numbers as well but their scam is your car insurance is about to expire, which is a bunch of bull because I don't even own a car.
If you got a call from the above watch out for these other numbers that may call too. They're annoying as hell and interrupt my life daily now. I'm so fed up I'm thinking about getting a new number.
called my number my husband answered the phone and said it was from walmart for a vacation i was like yea right scammers! funny thing we just got this number and it too said a family or friend gave them this number the funny thing is since we just got the number none of our friends or family know it yet!! lol since we've had the number only telemarketers and rap have called us its annoying im due in a month and being called at 1am in manitoba is not fun esspecially with 2 younger kids.
