Portland OR -- No Message

This number is blocked, they continue to call everyday.

503-360-0097 Called. Caller ID showed Portland OR. I did not answer, they left no message.

This phone number just called. No message left. It is blocked.

Called twice in 1 hour, shows "Portland, OR on caller ID, have relatives in Portland, so thought it may have been someone I knew.
Boy, was I wrong.
One of the new recorded calls, which trys to respond to your questions. Keep asking questions while its giving you their sales pitch, and the computer trys to play catch-up, to give an answer.
Started telling me something about abortion, and that was enough crap for me.
It finally hung up on me.
I don't need this crap, nor do you.

BRECANSERV - Monster criminal enterprise.  Stay away from these creeps.

Charity calls are forbidden in Or - State Law! Further more, they also cannot operate in Oregon unless they give a min of 35%. They also are not an telemarketer unless they try to sell you goods or services, that includes Surveys that attempt to get around the DNC with that lame duck excuse.

Got a call. No message left. ID: BRECANSERVICE

Less than 4 rings from breacan service; now blocked!  Thanks for previous statements; great service!

Robocall was rejected so they were unable to leave any message. Sometimes they wait to see if phone is answered (so they can sell your number to another scammer as being a viable number) or if a fax would kick in (fax messages also tie up your machinery).

The FCC will not take a complaint regarding any phone scammer who robodials your number then neither leave any message nor talks.  The State of NJ has made it harder to file complaints about DNC violations unless the complainant is able to drill down to the complaint form (found thru www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/telemarketers) and fill it out, then mail it in – all at your cost!

Roborectums know all that thus our elected legislators have basically blessed them to continue to annoy us.  Not to mention that when the caller realizes he/she/it has been blocked, they either get a new number to call from or spoof another (many times an innocent) number.

To make things even worse, all phone providers profit by providing service to these scammers and won’t shut them down as it would be lost income for every phone provider who is aiding and abetting the illicit activity scammer.

Every phone provider easily knows these roboterrorists utilize their services just by monitoring the bandwidth and frequency of calls made from a single source.  We, the recipients, are all victims of this crime and it’s high time to fight back – so if you actually talk to a human, identify them by asking for their address so you can send them a check, and then hang up.

Contact your legislators to stop the robocallers – send them a complaint every time you get a call.  Tell them to stop the scumbags or you will elect someone who will as their inaction and total lack of regard for your wellbeing and privacy further aids and abets each robocaller.

The DNC law works only for honest callers.  Federal and State laws need to be enacted to guide the phone providers in terminating the illegal roboactivity and phone scams – put the onus on the providers and not the honest users!

Also, why not sue the phone providers for their inaction to pull the plug on the phone terrorists?  A fantastic class action suit awaits a great attorney team on this one, because it appears that neither Federal nor State authorities give a damn to protect us and openly permit the phone companies to continually profit from your life being interrupted.

Verizon’s Call Intercept service (a $9.99 per month ransom plus federal and local taxes) limits you to 25 numbers.  So I use a Panasonic KX-TG6844 phone that can block 250 numbers. The cost of $111 paid for itself in a year and I dropped the Verizon intercept service extortion fee.

Many robocalls originate on the Verizon network and thru their subsidiary companies and affiliates such as Cellco. Of course, Sprint, Level 3, Cavalier, Embarq, T-mobile, and Cingular (to name a few) are also used providers.  What if these scammers might even be related to phone company employees or worse yet, terrorist organizations that raise funds to support their cause?

Finally, contact the Consumer Union (Consumer Reports) site www.EndRobocalls.org and sign their petition to pressure the phone companies and lobby the government. It won’t cost you a cent!  July 2015 news articles indicate Verizon is going to screw us more during their attempt to deregulate communications services and fees which could cost us considerably more by buying into their anonymous call intercept useless service, etc.

Rcvd call from number, sd Portland OR, I don't know anyone there no msg.

Received call from this number on my home phone at 6:32pm - no message was left.  Caller ID just read "Portland, OR".  We are on the do not call list.

Just keep calling, I wont answer don't know anyone in Oregon

This was a new one today, and probably connected to politics. The caller said she was so-and-so, and that she was calling on behalf of an alleged right-to-life group. Who knows? Her smarmy tone suggests she was a zombie working brain-free with some scam. Caller ID said BRECANSERVICE, whatever that is. Block, block, block these idiots. Sanity will soon return to you.
