480-281-0713

I just got a call from this number and they asked for me by name! The woman talked while the guy in the back ground was trying to make scary sounds.  The call was from Phoenix, Arizona.

ok there is a do not call list     has it occurred to you to request for a    call block feature     on your phones   from your phone providers

We just got my son his first cell phone and he has been receiving calls from this number daily. I've told him not to answer and they never leave messages.

Well, today they called again and I picked up. I believe they called themselves Merchant Care and they said something about some business opportunity... I informed them that this was a child's cell phone, he's not interested in any business opportunities and asked them to please remove the number from their call list. Instead of saying 'no problem, sorry to bother you', they act shocked that they've called a child, ask how old he is and comment that he must be "very industrious"! I again asked for his number to be placed on their do not call list and the call was abruptly ended with no reply.

Not two hours passed and they called again! This time when I answered they immediately hung up. If you call them back they have an automated system with an option to be placed on their do not call list permanently. I really wanted to complain, so I chose the option to speak to a representative, but so far I've had no luck getting through. It seems like they're taking me off hold and immediately hanging up.

Just did a search for Merchant Care and found this:

I got a phone blocker on line to get rid of these buggers. I don't answer 800 calls anymore. They all get block and I have blocked 480-281-0713. The blocker is worth the $50. My house is peaceful once again!

I have gotten 5+ calls a day from this number on my cell phone.  I don't waste my minutes on numbers I don't know.  They never leave a message.  Today I finally answered and they asked for the person who had the number before I did, to which I replied " Terry has not had this number in over a year and a half...."The guy cut me off and said " I don't need your F-ing life story, you could have just said Wrong Number!!!" and he hung up.  I tried to call back to complain, got the automated system and hung up on. GRRRRRRR!!!

These people called me swearing and threatning me

These people call me all the time, I happened to be off to aswewer it this time. I was about  a job in my area, more like a business opportunity! They said I could connect business with them  as leads & get paid if they accept their Visa & MasterCard credit card services. There is no cost to the business other than needing a LLC. An LLC for local use was $399 & nationally was $499. When I asked about how the leads were being verified they said I would have access to the back office. When I questioned the integrity of whether or not they would be recorded honestly. He started to get rude. I asked me not to talk over him & I told him he was rude & hung up. He kept calling me back. I told him do not call & hung up. He called back again & continued tobe rude, curse & just started to get nasty. I told him all my calls are recourded & that I would be reporting him to the attorney general, ask him to hang up but he wouldn't. I hung up, & he did not call back this time. Not sure if this business is a scam, but it doesn't appear lagidament when they keep calling you back. No answer when you call back (no ringing or anything) Sombody should really report the company.

I getting calls several times daily form this number. they never answer! what do they want?

They call and scare my children,I'm on the do not call list and I have no business with these people.They call everyday 3 to 6 times aday.

They call 3 to 4 times a day. Now over a week. Just do not answer the phone, From other comments they
are not worth even listening to it.

It was probably a call from University of Phoenix

Yeah, right. It's a call from Merchant Care, a business opportunity.

Literally get at least four calls a day from this number. I answered it once, no one there. I think I did the wrong thing answering it though because they call at least four times a day for the last MONTH! Going crazy because of these people....

Keep getting calls from this number.......no one there. Will take necessary measures to stop the incessant calls!!!

My wife and I are always getting these kind of calls and we are on the national do not call list. Now, we are using Straight Talk and pay a monthly fee for unlimited service. I have tried going through channels like the Federal Trade Commission and through our state's attorney general etc... with no real solution. And I go to sites like this and all I see is complaints. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REAL SOLUTION TO THIS NATIONAL PROBLEM!! LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PHONE COMPANIES NEED TO GET RESPONSIBLE AND PUT A STOP TO THIS CRAP!!!

I just stopped answering no's. I don't know if it's important, leave a brief message. That's it!

They just called at 3:42pm ET.  I went to answer & they hung up.  Such a**holes!  My phone # is unpublished, and on "Do Not Call" list.  When I DO answer, I put on my "annoyed" voice -- that usually makes 'em hang up.

Unfortunately, some of these "marketers" are scam artists, and they do anything they can to try to make money -- even to the point of harassment.  I got called 5 times yesterday by one who identified her company as "US Markets" and she told me to "calm down" -- it's only been about 20 phone calls from that number alone (713 area code).  I told her not to call me again -- that was the 3rd call of 5 that day alone.  I keep my phone on silent, too.  Whenever I purchase something, I use my area code, and 000-0000, which helps prevent more of such calls.  Prior to actually talking to someone, I tried calling the (713) number back, and the phone was "not in service" -- then, later is when the girl and I talked -- when she called me.  These callers use "burner" phones -- prepaid.  That is why they can't be stopped.

Something like "Lucky day" llc.  Said they wanted to know if I'm still interested in the chance to earn extra money, as though I had answered some web-type ad.
Caller said she wasn't supposed to, but would put me on "don't call again" list.
I am on the Do not call list, of course.
