Atlanta area...Tuesday afternoon...12:41 ...ruined nap I needed due to illness...stop these telemarketers please!!!!

I know nobody from there.
Block them.

They called and didn’t leave a message.

Came up on caller ID as Home Prtctn Tec at 1:56p today 5/14/14.  Started out FBI says crime and I hung up.  Have been on the do not call list for years, so I know if they are calling me it is a scam or not an ethical company.

I'm constantly getting these call from all over,on the do not call list,I'm  blocking them,I told that called on Sunday,to stop flim-flamming,he said what does that mean,I said a cheat,liar,thief,and he hung up after I told him not to call,I was going to Sheriff's office and file complaint...I'm so tired of this,I don't usually pick up..it's eased since I'm blocking..#!!!!????****,tired of it

No message......first call from this number.

They phoned today, 11:37 a.m. Whomever, they didn't leave a message.

Caller ID reads, Comstock, MN.

Telemarketers call several times a day, Sunday, too.  

This is a robo call. Caller ID: "HOMECPRICETN TEC"

Am on the do not call list but this seems to make NO difference. Many, many calls are "allowed" such as charities and companies you have done business with...which means you WILL get many unwanted calls. Many charities are fraudulent, but so are many companies that call you. Don't know if reporting my long LIST of unwanted calls to the sheriff or government will do any good, but I would like to hear others opinion on this.

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

You are correct - 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.

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.

Got call on 6/30 at 2 in afternoon, nobody said anything into answering machine. Caller ID said was Home PRCTN TEC.

I find some of the remarks posted about these ‘faux telemarketer calls’ amusing.  I put together a software program that has logged over 380 of these annoyance calls since 2012.  Those of you that let the calls roll to your answering machine, voicemail or worse yet answered the call you have just ensured you will get another of these calls.  Maybe not from the same number, but they’ve just identified your number as valid and passed it on.  Most of the initial calls originate from software (aka; ‘robocalls’) – once your number is identified as active, then a person may be there on the follow up calls.  If you have the capability to ‘block’ the number that called – that is the best action.  If you don’t have a blocking option, keep a phone with caller ID close by and simply hit ‘talk’ and ‘off’ simultaneously.  If you really want to block them – there is reasonably priced software that a layman can install.  Of the 380 calls I’ve blocked, only 16 have been in the last 6 months.  So the message is simple – blocking works….

Called twice this week--not from same number, but with same robo-message.  "Free alarm system for allowing a sign in front yard.  

Call repeatedly regarding a home alarm system. I have selected the option to take me off their list but the calls still persist.

Why do these people keep calling.  I will never buy anything or donate anything over the phone!

Problem with 701 369-2050 is they keep changing return call phone numbers.  I've learned to be suspicious of any caller that has the last 4 digits of 2050.

Received call from 701-369-2050 on 7/9/14 at 12:17 pm.  Did not answer; did not leave message; Caller ID showed HOME PRTC TN TEC.  Blocking.
