253-245-2395

Won't leave a message. Caller ID says "Auburn WA". In the past, calls from "Auburn WA" (but different no.) have been reported as the "I'm calling from Microsoft to fix your computer" scam. I suspect they are spoofing a different no. now.

Rings, left no message. Caller ID: Auburn, WA  1-253-245-2395

It seems these idiots never get the message that you are not buying their story. I have given quite a few different responses to their statement "We are from Microsoft and you have a problem with your computer" I haven't let them get past that point. I said to them one time: "Wow thanks for telling me I will get on that problem right away and fix it!" and I hang up. Or I told them one time: "If you know I have a problem you had to illegally access my computer and will be arrested for it If I figure out where you are!" I wish they would call a police officer and tell them to call back in 5 minutes and then forward their phone to the prearranged phone at the PD to trace them to their exact location. I cannot begin to say how frustrating it is to have the same people call you over and over again. And what good is The "Do Not Call Registry" when people totally ignore it. I am almost at the point now to go after these idiots. The way I see it if they call you turn the tables on them and play ignorant and get them to believe you are doing what they say to waste their time to do nothing make it seem like your hard of hearing or say you pushed a button they didn't ask you to, and then say "Oh you meant that!?" I feel like phone calls you do not want is the same as trespassing. Just my 2 cents.

First, scammers and criminals, whether domestic or foreign, do not care about the fact that they are disobeying the law.  The rest of what they are doing is also breaking the law and carries bigger penalties including jail time. Second, the vast majority of these scams are originating outside the country with the perpetrators using Magic Jack and an internet connection to appear to be calling from inside the US.  Without the cooperation of the authorities in the country the calls originate from, there is not much the US authorities can do to stop this.

Received call from "SVC", and they didn't leave a message.  I used to get the calls as mentioned above referencing Microsoft.  Since they plagued me before, it is probably them again.

Tell them you have Apple.

Sick of foreign scum calling me.  We have enough scum right here in the good ole USA doing it.

Couldn't have said that any better!!!!!  AMEN!!

A recording telling me they're giving me a compounded pain cream that my insurance will pay for!
Lucky me!
I just held the phone silently until they hung up.
I'm running out of space on my call block list........

SVC called (AGAIN) don't know the #, don't know the name, don't answer. They don't want to leave a message it must not have been that important.

will not answer or leave message....have called my number at least 25 times

Another one of the "American Chronic Pain association" calls with the same recording. . .

"American Chronic Pain association". Also calls with same prerecorded message from:
541-257-1434
425-406-9526
458-201-1261

Also calls from 626-668-8293.  Caller ID shows SVC.  Never leaves a message.

They tried to sell me on some pain relieving ointment that my insurance would pay for.  I played along to see what they really wanted - money.  Well not getting it from me.
Won't be answering anymore of their calls.

This number showed up as SVC on my caller id. I was out so could not immediately block it (I purchased a call blocker device from Amazon) so I then manually blocked the number as well as the entire area code. I know no one from that area so it doesn't make a difference.

What I would suggest is that everyone print up complaints, such as on this board, and send them, with a letter to the appropriate state attorney generals office. If they are coming from within the state, they can be traced (I worked for the phone company and know they can do things to protect the consumers).

Also, my call blocker can block 1200 numbers.

Thank you for providing those numbers. I have a call blocker device (up to 1200 numbers) and have added these since you never know when they will call.

If the phone companies could do something to block all these calls, why don't they? Mine lets me block all Private numbers but only 32 standard numbers, not area codes. They could do much more to help their customers with this problem.
