323-316-1003

323-316-1003 just called our business with an illegal robocall. It was a company called National Business Alliance, and they were offering us a Platinum Membership for an $8000 Business Credit Line. Press 1 to speak to a representative that can help you. Press 1 now. Be sure to Press 1 to obtain that $8000 Business Credit Line. Press 1. Press 1 right now so that we get you the best loan option available. Press... 1... Right... Now! - Yeah, I think I'll pass. This is clearly a scam. Then again, the Caller ID says that the call came from Los Angeles, California so that right there tells you that it's more than likely a scam to start off with. Reporting the recorded call directly to the FCC.gov website.

My answering machine recorded a robocaller. It tells you to press 1 now to get added as a member. Press 1 now. Press 1 now. However, at the end it also says press 9 to "get added to our 'do no call' list" YEAH RIGHT.

Absolue punks

Where is law enforcement?

We have been getting calls early 5am late 11 pm from this number. Please stop!

No messages left, just an open line with voices that cannot be made out.

The answer to that question is ... NEVER AROUND WHEN YOU NEED THEM!  They are to busy writing B.S. tickets like no headlight or something, but my favorite one is not using your directional signal ... and when it comes to real crime, they are busy making the law byders criminals and the criminals are are doing what they do best ... paying off the cops and hurting people.  So there you go ... now the question is how much are they getting paid to allow this company to harass us?

The guy just called and said his name was Andrew and he wanted to speak to the owner of the business.

I said, "I'm the owner of the business."  

Then he hung up.  

WTF???

Missed call no voice mail.  Every time that happens I check 1800 notes and usually find them listed here.

Strike 1. Robo call
Strike 2. No voice mail
Strike 3. My number on the DNC list.

Yer out!

Caller ID says "Unknown Name." Turned-off my answering machine, stopped after about 5 rings.

Dead line.  No one there, no message.

Scam!

Just called us today. A man named David asked to speak to the business owner. He claimed he was from National Business Alliance and asked to speak to the owner.

Didn't leave a message and would not let me call them!

unfortunately listed in white pages as Family Dollar Store.  My home number used to belong to them.  Constantly getting calls for "business" I don't have.

Called them back using *67.  Again, it's the "National Business Alliance" - offering us a Platinum Membership for an $8000 Business Credit Line.  We're on the NO CALL LIST.  When I offered to connect them with the Local Police, the respondant "hung up" in an instant.   Definitely as SCAM !!!  Telephone FRAUD.
