579-883-8924

This number just called.  No one on the other end?  Just a waste of time answering this call!

Ignored and it went to my voicemail for a blank message. Probably a "test" call to see if the line is live, so my number is probably being sold as I speak to some moron doing the PC service scam or whatever.

Also just got a call from this #...didnt answer bc I recognized it as a phony #. I dont have ppl call me from the States. Today  had 2 spam calls. How do you block these #s

This number has not been given out.  They called and didn't leave a message.  Very annoying.

I just got a call on my cell phone from 1-579-883-8924 at 3:12 pm. When I answered the call, nobody responded.

Yessss! I won a FREE cruise to the bahamas!

Another number to block!

Fools....at exactly the change of the hour the phone rings!  Obviously an auto-dialer changing time zones. Keep your free cruise and I'll keep my personal info.

Free cruise scam from "Amy". Bogus survey. They are trying to get credit card information.

Caller repeatedly calls but leaves no message. Call is made to my fax number and no message is ever sent. I am on the do not call list which is very ineffective.

False conclusion.

The DNC list does not automatically block calls.  Instead, it provides a list of  "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate, registered telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.

The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations,  charities and companies with preexisting business relationships, but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).

The DNC list  is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
Its purpose is to stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.  Just think ... if there were no DNC, you would be receiving incessant calls from BOTH legitimate and scam telemarketing callers!

Remember, the Do Not Call site is a good one to report unwanted calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers.  The DNC list does not cover calls from criminal scammers & spammers.  To report those, visit https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

If you receive calls even after reporting them (and waiting a sufficient time), then you should consider using a call blocker app, device or service as your first line of defense.  Google "call blocker" to see such things at Amazon or other sites.

Bahama cruise scam.
Don't be a fool and give out your personal information to anyone over the phone unless you've called a number with an intention to provide your personal info.

WTF are national TV news / Newspapers doing?
They gotta educate as many people as possible. Obviously there are tons of people falling for this scam as it just never ends.

Called  my cell phone on Sunday - didn't answer as I didn't recognize the number.

Telemarketer phishing for credit card information.

Thanks for all the comments on this #.... I too did not answer, they left no message.
I hope everyone does this.... if no one ever answers they will see not benefit for this type of spamming.

tired of being hassled

I do not appreciate receiving Telemarketing calls.

2 missed calls from them at lunch to my cell. Didn't recognize the number but I have gotten the Bahamas [***] one before. Wish it would stop.

Rec'd two calls within the same minute. One private, one was this number. At that point, it's got to be an autodialer assessing telephone numbers to be included into a database of available numbers. Yep, seems people are catching on, cuz they are getting desperate for fools.

Just recieved a call from 579-883-8924

didnt answer

When these spam numbers call my cell I add them to an ever growing contact called "Spam - Do Not Answer" so my kids don't run to find me when they call back.
